Just spotted your post - so a belated reply.
I wrote about this one long ago. Maybe 20 years ago I was fitting kitchen units into a city centre block. Squatting down I pushed my screwdriver into the back pocket of my jeans. As I straightened up the screwdriver lodged in the handle of one of the unit drawers ripping the back of the jeans open - down the side of the pocket and across the top. There was a lot of spotty backside flapping in the breeze. Come knocking-off time the best I could do was to tie my jacket around my middle with the sleeves to make the hike across town and catch my train out to the suburbs. I remember feeling a complete prat - why would a guy have his jacket tied around his middle - when it was pouring with rain!
