This is something I have to say a lot of the time. Teenagers think it's really cool to wear their pants down to their knees and show off their rears, so this is what I have to do, and an actual experience...
(For all intensive purposes we will call this dude Low-Rider)
"Excuse me, Low-Rider?"
"Huh?"
"You need to pull up your pants."
"Why, they'll just slide down again, what's the point?"
"It's common curtsy."
"Huh? What's that?"
"Do you know the origins to where that started?"
"Huh? What's or'jeans?"
"The history."
"Nope, don't care."
"Believe me you will... it started in prisons, to let other prisoners know you are gay."
Low-Rider looks at me with a glazed expression as it sinks in, then horror shows on his face. He quickly pulls up his pants and with a embarrassed blush says, "Thanks."
Big grin, "No problem."
From that day on, Low-Rider was no longer Low-Rider... he was Suit-Pants.
You got to love Librarian-hood...
