What unwanted lifeform or object have you found ..
in YOUR pants!

The dri-skin shorts I kayak in kept stinging me yesterday but I could find no reason..I finally figured the material caught leg hairs and pulled them out..very painful..

HOWEVER, this morning I climbed out of my hammock having slept in my Smartwool long-jons and went down to check out the kayak. All along my leg I felt sharp stings..I thought another pair of pants were doing the same thing when I could find nothing there but, as I walked back to camp the stings continued up my leg..I removed the offending long-jon's completely again finding nothing until a fold revealed a wasp which took off..the damn thing must've spent the night there..with me tossing and turning I'm surprised we both survived!

So, what unwelcome object have you found in your pants!

I have never, as an adult, found a lifeform in my pants that I didn't like or welcome.

A tick is about the only thing that's gotten into my pants that I didn't want there.

Well, yeah. I had a tick on my thigh. Does that count?

Div - did you discover it while using mirrors? If so, why were you using mirrors?

Variation is the spice of life. I've seen a couple of "little people babes" in Madams Organ but never saw their faces.

So do women get to answer this about unwanted lifeforms in their pants?

LMAO!!

I'm NOT One Inch Wang's intended. LOL!

I could say that nasty stub of a branch on the pine tree that impaled itself on my lower left buttock. I mean, it tore a hole in my pants, so there.

Man.... that just all sounds sooooooooo DIRTY!! Matahari are you getting cheap thrills here??? LMAO!!

A sand spur, once. That hurt. I'd been sitting on the fround at Cumberland, in the sand. It wedged in the elastic of my underwear. That was on a Scout trip, too.

I found a grub on my basement floor. I had no idea what it was as I'm a city boy. I was convinced it was some alien life form and was ready to call the X-team.
