Two summers ago I took a backpacking trip through Europe with a few of my closest friends. It was from July-August and we were only packing one backpack small enough to be carried onto the airplane. This left us little room for wardrobe changes. Since everyone had told me Europe is blazing hot in the summer I decided to skip packing a pair of pants. I know it was not the wisest move but if you saw how small our bags were you would see how much room one pair of pants would take up. I packed a pair of leggings instead. They still cover my legs, they are light and they take up little room in my bag. Smart thinking if you ask me. I decided to wear them on the plane because I am always cold on airplanes. My two friends and I were on a HUGE plane to London from New York. We had middle seats so we had to climb over people if we wanted to get up.
About midway through the flight my friend and I decided to make the climb towards the bathroom. There was an older man, who was definitely senior citizen age at the end of our row. We said excuse us and he was not budging. The right thing for him to do would be to get up and let us out. Nope he stayed put in his seat which then required us to have to step over his legs. So annoying! My friend stepped over first and walked towards the bathroom. I stepped over next and thought all was fine. Wrong. My leggings were caught to a little screw on the old mans seat! I tugged them and a ginormous hole ripped in them going from my thigh to my knee. My only almost pair of pants were ruined. I was wearing high top converse sneakers as well so I looked really punk rock when I arrived in London. Oh and it was freezing in London as well so I ended up having to buy another pair once we got there.
