Cutting Oneself out of Side Zipper Pants


I think that really is the punch line.

I wore one of my favorite pairs of pants to work today. They button and zip on the side. I have had a problem with the zipper only going down halfway for a while now, but today they finally broke. Of course I didn't discover this until I was at work and had to go to the bathroom. I go in and try to unzip, but nothing happens. I really have to go so I try just pulling the zipper apart. No go. SO I go back to my desk and try to finish up the requests I have as fast as I can while bouncing up and down in my chair. I finish, leave early from work, and race home CATCHING EVERY SINGLE LIGHT ON THE WAY. When I finally get in, I grab my scissors from the refrigerator (they're magnetic) and rush into the bathroom to cut the zipper without cutting my pants too bad. Success was followed by sweet relief, if you get my drift. I'm hoping my pants can be saved and can magically be repaired by my alterer. Keeping my fingers crossed!
