An associate asked me if he could tell me something in confidence.  I said "Sure."  He told me that a group of assoc's in the break room have been laughing and talking about another assoc, on a regular basis, because this assoc has been wearing the same pair of pants every day for the past 2 weeks. They have charted this event, by checking to see if a telltale stain on the rear is there; and it has been.  He told me that this is a friend of mine, and he wanted her to know about it.  I told him I would tell her, and not mention his name.
When I told her, she explained that she only has one pair of khaki pants that are comfortable, so she washes them every few days.  Yes, she wears the same pair every day.
So, now she knows and we had a good laugh about it.  I told the assoc who spoke to me about it, so he knows, that she knows.  Too bad the idiots in the break room will continue to waste their time snickering about the woman "who's wearing those same pants again!"
I guess I need to spend more time looking at other people's butts.  I must be missing out on all kinds of intrigue.
And finally; I thank my lucky stars that these folks haven't noticed that I often wear the same pair of pants TWO days in a row. 
Sheesh.

Some of the associates I work with are like that too.  It looks like they are not much different than they were in high school.  I usually ignore those conversations I guess every store must have a few ignorant people like that.  I kind of thought uniforms would stop the fashion police but I guess not.  We usually talk about our children, grandchildren, spouces or significant others and often pets.  One of the other stores I worked at for a very short time had a store manager that needed serious help from the fashion police.  Her blouse was usually kind of tight and had straining buttons.  People always talked about her in the break room.  If she knew she did not care but I don't think she knew.  Most of the associates were afraid of her she had a lot of pets but even they were afraid to say anything.

i don't spend a lot of time in the break room either.  Usually once a week is enough for me.  It has a negative vibe and I don't want to be a part of that.  We have a restroom in our break room and I usually go in there to use that one and it gets tiring listening to the complaints every one has.
 
Blech.
