Unpopular opinions

I would never ever ever wear my jeans in the tub during a soak or afterwords before they had dried.
-
I don't feel it's necessary. A piece of jeans lore, like much jeans lore and convention, that is overthinking things IMO. Hot soak if unsanforized, hang dry, wear. This works for me just fine.

It's a rare breed who enjoys the feel of wet denim next to his scrotum, whilst enjoying a long soak in the tub with a good book and a fine tobacco.

I wore my Flat Heads in the tub for their initial soak to ensure I'd be able to get them on again.
It wasn't a pleasurable experience.
-
A phrase from a product description on self edge comes to mind: "…some initial discomfort is well worth the wearing comfort later" (cited from memory).
I think this hits it quite accurately, I would not describe the feel of wearing my new jeans in the tub as particularly unpleasant, but in any event very much worth the later result. -
Fair enough, but what is the "later result"? My guess is it makes little to no difference, and I wouldn't change a thing about the fit of my Strike Golds and they've certainly molded to my body and activity…
Heh, first link when I googled "wearing jeans in the tub" is Kiya talking about it.

i wanted to quote something from that article for /r/rawdenim….then I realised I just wanted to quote the whole thing for them.

sometimes its horrible to have too many job prospects.
I'm currently being offered one opportunity that I'm interested in, but not overjoyed with. There's another opportunity that I really want, and I'm 95% sure they want me too, but they have to interview one other person. The first company wants me to make a decision ASAP, and the second company needs a bit of time.
My biggest fear is that I end up with nothing because I held out for something I really wanted.
(the first opportunity is a part-time (25-35hr a week) contract job with an international clothing brand that would last at least 4 months, the second opportunity is a full time salaried job with benefits at an ad agency)
it's never just an easy path.

i've worn jeans at the beach and actually went surfing in them. i thought it was a fun way of soaking/shrinking them. who gives a shit what other people do with their jeans? how's that for an unpopular opinion?

Will Ferrell is one of the most painfully unfunny people on the planet. Watching him for 5 minutes makes me want to stab myself. The only person even close to Will Ferrell in epic awfulness is Ben Stiller.
STEP BROTHERS IS HILARIOUS.
-
honestly most of those movies aren't funny to me on the first viewing. it's after you've seen em a few times and you start noticing little things that you didn't notice before.
-
Irishexpat just go with your gut feeling. If you end up with nothing at least you held out for what you really wanted. At the same time sometimes we just have to pay the bills. You have to weigh your circumstances.

I might be the only male on this planet who doesn't think Anchorman is funny
I don't think it's funny either.

Reminds me of a girlfriend , who had read many books multiple times . Something
I can't do , once you know how it ends . To read a book five times or more seems insanity, or your like the
bloke in Memento . She also could do a roadtrip with one cd …..A very smart and funny girl nonetheless .
-
I read many of the same books over and over again, but I mainly read factual books. For some reason I really struggle with literary fiction :-\
On the great Anchorman debate, like I said before I have noted that Will Ferrel is insanely popular in Europe, whereas we don't really like or get Seth Rogan and his bunch of buddies. Comedic, cultural nuances I guess.
