SUPER annoying. One very nice thing about living in a tropical climate is that I only very rarely have to wear anything other than shorts.
Yes, annoying! For me it's not quite as bad b/c I know how to hem pants (thanks to my mom passing on some of her sewing skills to me) but I'd still just as soon not have to do it. And while we're on the subject, WHY have inseams been getting longer and longer? I used to be able to get Old Navy jeans in regular length and they were just right...not anymore (at least the last time I checked, even the "short" was too long!). Do clothing designers/manufacturers assume we are all going to wear heels all the time? Forget it. Maybe I should just stick to LL Bean next time I need to buy pants...they have kept their inseams reasonable (regular 30 inches--just right for me and my flat shoes).
