The advantage of not wearing pants at home:

[_Rick_]

is that when some punks that somehow got into your apartment complex place some fireworks at your doormat, ring the bell and run, they'll go off well before you even got a leg in.

After the recent shooting in the street in front of the house, I am somewhat more apprehensive about explosions in front of my door...

Time to move!

Women most certainly do not wear pants!
They wear dresses and skirts! And woe on them, should a flash of ankle be seen!

Were you the one who posted about a shooting near his house?

Adding to that: Recently got a letter from the mayor and governor, as to how the city has been assigned "special" status, in that 100s of national policemen have been assigned to keep the peace, because it's a known trouble zone.

Only 200km's from Switzerland too - don't pretend you're safe

...also, after I checked (a few hours later, I abandoned putting on pants after the bang), I didn't see any fireworks debris. I wonder if it was another kind of explosion, it did sound a bit hollow, like a light bulb exploding, only much louder.

Without your pants, though, it makes it easier for you to show them your gun.

I am not wearing any pants right now.

Grenoble, France.
Which isn't in itself a slum, but the southern suburbs are apparently somewhat problematic. I live in the city proper though, somewhere at the edge between some new apartment blocks, and some old, so at a bit of a rift of wealth.
Still, most of the time a respectable neighborhood. It's very rare that I hear any noise from neighboring apartments, at best some drunkards in the street - but those you get in any urban environment...

On a forum which 99% of the members are male, I doubt many here want to see pics of guys without pants. D::sneaky:

I'm not even sure I want to see pics of AT members without pants. D:

I'm just surprised on one asked.

I often don't wear pants or trousers.

I'm not wearing ANYTHING right now.

Want proof?

For those that don't wear pants you just sit on your computer chair with just underwear or butt naked? That's kind of gross. At least put shorts on if you just don't want full coverage. I tend to keep my house cool to save on heating costs and reduce CO/CO2 emissions so I always wear clothes even though I live alone.

I'm glad I don't live in an area where fire crackers at the door step is a common thing though. I may complain about the long winters but at least the crime is fairly low here in the north. We have been getting more B&Es though. They seem to happen multiple times a year, it's gotten pretty bad.

No firecrackers at my door yet. I thought I heard knocking around 3am this morning, but I couldn't see anything through the front door - hit the front lights, then checked from another front window and saw a car driving out of the culdesac so maybe they were just banging around out there. Or maybe I scared em off with lights. I dunno.

No thanks. I have a mental image of you that I don't want to ruin.

For me, always underwear. Don't see how that's gross.

I put a towel on the chair, for the hot days.
Noo problemoo.

Oh, anyway, I figured out what actually happened this morning.
Rear tire of my bike probably exploded (it was blown off the rim, when I looked at it this morning), through some mad chance just seconds after someone rang at my bell. The former is somewhat logical, it was getting hot in my appartment, and I had just ridden my bike, after putting around 8.5-9 bar on that tire.

Still, the sequence of events was not very transparent, and I wonder what the person that actually rang at my door thought, after being given a warning shot instead of someone answering the door. :awe:
