Haha, the Target in my area still has the fitting rooms closed due to covid so it's always fun guessing game about if any new pants will fit. I got lucky with my old size a few months ago, so when I needed a new pair for work last week I grabbed the same size (mens 34x32) off the shelf and headed home. Of course they sat in the bag untouched until right before I needed to leave. I confidently grabbed them pulled them up and...yikes. With my gut sucked in I could JUST get them done up, but were definitely not an option for a full day of work. Fortunately, I had an older, more stretched out pair, that was good enough. Bonus points for having my wife innocently asking why I wasn't wearing my new pants, and having to explain that I'd gotten too fat.
