Today, my boss had to order some more work pants since mine were worn out after 7 months. He told me the next set I would have to buy myself, since they usually last workers about 2 years, and I must be treating them too roughly. I didn't want to admit that my thighs rubbing together ended up shredding the fabric. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at work, the seat of my pants ripped open. A coworker lent me a pair of his back-up jeans, and then those ripped in the crotch. FML
Today, my pants ripped while I was at work. I had to keep my balls to the wall while I dodged customers and edged ever closer to the break room. Before I could call my wife and ask her to bring a new pair, my boss burst in, got pissed, and made me go back out and deal with irate customers. FML
Today, while I was out shopping, my pants decided that they just didn't have enough holes in them, and ripped a new one in the crotch. FML
Today, I found out my trousers have actually been slowing ripping on the side, after I'd been boasting to everyone I have lost weight and that, “My trousers are literally falling off me.” FML
Today, I was sick from both ends at work. My boss wouldn't let me go home, and told me to borrow a pair of spare pants to change into. I suffered another bout of gastroenteritis and shit someone else's pants. FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, we can finally order badly needed safety gear for my crew. My boss flipped his shit, demanding that I "stop bringing it up, it's annoying" for doing my damndest to keep up with industry standards. I was brought to tears for literally doing my job, with no "peers" to back me, since I'm an HR department of one. FML
Today, I had to buy another pair of "fat jeans", because my old "fat jeans" became my new "skinny jeans." FML
Today, I was working the cash register. While helping a customer with her groceries, my bra snapped. I then had to ask my male boss if I could staple it back together. Thirty minutes later it snapped again. I then had to explain to my boss that I was too broke to buy a new one. FML
Today, I got all the way until after lunch before I realized my new pants were basically leggings, and that you could see my pink thong through them. I was in a training with a bunch of the guys that work the production floor, and I’m pretty sure they noticed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He should understand if you explain to him! I ruin all my jeans like that too. I've learned to put a few pieces of duct tape on one or both thighs, it really helps extend pant life.

I'm sorry OP. I would just tell him; no need to be embarrassed. Thighs sometimes rub, and it definitely sucks when clothes get rubbed thin or rip altogether because of that. Good luck OP. I hope it all works out!

Or wearing tight fitting underwear like hiking underwear or biking shorts would also help.

True, but that isn't really his concern, is it now. Almost all employees who require work clothing have it in their contract. An employee will receive one free set every year (for example) and everything else for said employee's own cost...

How would underwear help? Underwear doesn't cover thighs...

Underwear that is meant to prevent chafing/rubbing does cover your thighs...

Just to be sure it's on the inside?

Depending on what fabric the pants are made of, you could sew a piece of fabric on the inside from the centre seam down the thigh on each side, that's what I do when I get new work pants and jeans to extend their life.

Maybe you should find a job where you don't need to wear pants ;)

Go to a fabric store and find iron on patches. Ideally, the kind you'd see on the elbows of a sweater. Put them on the inside of the thighs where the fabric rubs. It'll support the material and the pants won't fall apart so fast, and since the patches are on the inside, nobody knows they're there.

Yep. I destroy pants left and right with my thighs.

I've gone through several pairs of pants that way. Sometimes within an entire year.
