Huh?

I bought a pair of trousers the other day (the incredibly stretchy kind, which is amazingly unforgiving and will reveal anything and everything of your legs, but at the same time very comfortable), and was very happy with the purchase. So happy that I decided to go back yesterday and get myself a second pair (but, in my defense, in a different colour, and approved of by Tim, who has to pay). But then, when I got home, what do I discover? The new trousers - same brand, same model, same size - are 10 centimeters longer than my first pair! What?!? I mean, it's not an inch we're talking about here, but a decimeter. So, today I had to get up early and go back to the store. Surprisingly enough, they were not surprised (!) to hear that. 'Oh, it's probably because they're made by different producers.' Well, yeah, sure. But is that really acceptable? I know I'm probably sounding very whinging now, but I don't think it is. In the end I returned the trousers. Well, one less thing to pack, I guess.
