Tough Times

No thread, no needles, only a stapler at hand! Husband mending work trousers that had reached use by date!

[Rashella]

love this!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Oh, eek, the ouch factor is really high in this photo. If I tried that, I'd staple the pants to my leg.

[Maggiemae]

@catwoman2 Husband says, he's much more precise than that!

[Yvonne]

Duct tape would work, too--and it's grey ; ) A stapler would be a little scary to me.

[Lindy]

Or maybe an iron on patch and they would live on for ages if they are favourites.

[Deb]

Not sure the staples will stay put!

[Kerri]

Great catch

[Huda Morcos]

Practical solution!

[Vee]

There's a MAN for ya!

[Maggiemae]

@vskolnik I think he would like that comment, Vee!

[Sharon Lee]

hahaha, my hubby once told me off for throwing out his air-conditioned shirt... it was full of holes. Great moment capture

[Rick Schies]

Oh wow, I can just feel those staples scrathing the skin raw.

[Maggiemae]

@digitalrn it didn't last of course, Rick! The sides of the rip were all frayed! He should have used a crochet hook!

[Karen bable]

Necessity is the mother of invention!!! Somebody needs some new pants!

[Harry J Benson]

lol, you gotta do, what you gotta do :)

[Tony]

Total desperation perfectly captured. See how inventive we menfolk are ??

[richard saffold]

[Mark]

[Laura J.]

[Pat Knowles]

A very enterprising guy is your man!!!! I like his style!

[Gillian]

Very practical solution!

[Sue McCarter]

Hee hee - a man after my own heart!!

[Joan]

best way to put in a hem as well

[Leonie Mogridge]

I think this is something that my husband would try!!

[Julian]

Love it - looks like an engineering solution.
