I know I'm tremendously guilty of not posting enough. I know I whimper and complain about my lack of posting every time I post. I may well just make these first two sentences a static header for me.
I've discovered that the benefit of button-fly jeans is entirely on the removal side. Sure, it takes a lot of finger fumbling to work the five or six buttons into place to hold your jeans together, and that's kind of a pain. A "normal" pair of jeans requires two simple motions: a zip up and a single button close held close for you already by the zipper. However, a well-worn pair of button fly jeans appears to be the most efficient way to quickly open your pants as a single sideways pull at the top of the pants tends to pull apart every button at once. All of that tedious prep time for a half-second faster quick removal may seem pretty silly, but I can think of at least one example where it makes a world of difference.
Variations of the story start with an eternally long conference call, a large coke from lunch, and continuous input requested from upper management. Then again, I think my bladder may just be trying to force the flight reaction my brain already has when my team collectively sets aside reason. Button-fly jeans for either reason are a sweet relief.
Okay, I'll be honest; Now I can think of two examples.
