That’s a long time to shop for a pair of pants.

The author might have been exaggerating to make a point, though we’re not sure what that point would be.

@BecketAdams I just don't understand any of this statement and I'm a chick!

Glad we’re not alone!

14 1/2 hours. To buy a pair of pants? Dude. https://t.co/GCFx0Kx6vk

@BecketAdams So if he shops online at work, he just wasted two days of productivity on buying pants. Hope they're bedazzled at least.

@MetricButtload @BecketAdams if you combined all the time I spent buying pants in my whole life it wouldn't be 14 1/2 hours.

@BecketAdams and better yet, who the hell shops for pants online?
