Yep, we get it.
We know handbags can be pretty and everything, but sometimes you don’t want to lug around a big bag with you just for your phone, keys and money.
While yes, we need a bag if we are carrying more with us, sometimes they are just unnecessary and are more of a pain in the ar*e than anything else.
So that is why we totally feel this woman’s pain as she went on a rant on Mumsnet. She complained that the invention is wasted on men… but it simply comes down to us wanting big pockets too.
She said:
“Sorting laundry, I have just discovered that, not only do dh’s trousers have large, deep pockets made of strong fabric with strong seams, but they also have a change pocket at the bottom of the main pocket! A proper, little, well-made pocket so your change won’t rattle around or get pulled out and flung across the room when you take your phone out of your pocket!
“And, to add insult to injury, when I mentioned this to dh he didn’t know anything about it!
“Good design is wasted on men.”
Of course, many agreed with her, with one saying:
“I share your jealousy, I’ve always accepted that men have bigger pockets (and have often bought mens jeans for my own wear) BUT when I noticed that my DS (4) had bigger pockets that mine, that’s when full jealousy hit me. He only carries stones!!!”
While another wrote:
“This infuriates me. I have very few clothes with pockets. Skirts, trousers, jackets, tops, shirts, with the exception of jeans, even if they have pockets I find that they’re simply ‘show’ pockets, in that they look like pockets but don’t perform like pockets. They’re either too shallow, too narrow or sewn shut (for my own protection?) I know it’s to keep them looking sleek but still.”
Do you agree? Isn’t it so annoying?
