As an #ActuallyAutistic person with certain skills, I can do some really complicated things but things like how to buy pants that fit me really flummox me
@skinnylatte It's not just you! Pants are incredibly complicated and one pair never fits like the next.
@realmaplesyrup @skinnylatte Yeah, either we are all autistic (which I am not going to rule out), or it is the pants. I hate pants buying. I now have found one model by a maker that fits well enough, and I keep buying that ...
@skinnylatte Buying jeans is so stressful! Mine come in the mail actually tomorrow, but I'll still have to get them hemmed for the length.
It makes sense though. Imagine if you lined everyone up side-by-side; it's amazing that industrial clothing production is even possible in the first place. 
@skinnylatte oh hey do you also have the “if you find a single pair that fit, you buy plural amounts so you don’t have to hunt again for a long time” curse? ‘cuz I sure as hell do
@skinnylatte Joining the chorus saying “it’s not you, it’s the pants industry!”
@skinnylatte oh, can we do that ?
@skinnylatte I finally found some good pants for me for the first time in YEARS
@winterknight1337 @skinnylatte
Not too long ago I discovered pants made of a stretchy material and they are sooooo comfy it's almost maddening. Like how have I ever lived without these? Of course I still have to use a belt to keep them on because I suck at finding the right size, even if I try them on in the store first. Maybe if I had more practice, but I'd need more money for that first. 
@skinnylatte Last time I found jeans that fit, I bought four pair.
@skinnylatte
Eye have concluded, Adrianna, that clothes come in one of two sizes: Too big, or too small.
Eye just work backward from that to an approximate fit.
Not perfect, but it works for me.
@skinnylatte
it's all clothes in general for me. it sucks so much 
@skinnylatte
To be fair, that seems to be something that flummoxes everyone - and part of that is systemic. Because how women's sizes in clothing are designed actually makes no sense.
I gave up, and just have my pants tailor-made because it's just to annoying otherwise.
