I went to the courthouse this morning to run a couple errands. As I was waiting to take my turn passing through the security area, I was behind an individual who had "pants on the ground." When the young man retrieved his belongings from the little plastic tub, the deputy that handed it to him said in a rather stern voice, "Pull those pants up while you are in my courthouse." I thanked the deputy as I went by.

The nice thing about a courthouse is that the judge is God there. If the judge tells his bailiff to enforce a rule, you best do as the judge sez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, sometimes the judge is wrong. Jist don't try and tell HIM that!
 
Judge Wapner, one time. Guy was saying, "So I go 'yada yada', and he goes 'yada yada', then I went 'yada yada' ", and the Judge says, "Said".

Guy looks confused and the Judge says, "You 'said'. People do not 'go' in my courtroom. They 'say'."

Made me want to stand up and cheer.
 
I have had to wear suspenders for many years. Even when I wore a uniform late in my career I used color coded suspenders to my shirt.
I got huge with no butt and when you have to wear a gunbelt with all that weight it was suspenders or cinch up to where you can hardly breath.
Once I was sitting at a blackjack table with no suspenders. I stood up quick and my pants fell to the floor!

I've got an air nailer I could employ to assist the young man with keeping his pants up where they belong.
 
I have small hip bones so i have to wear pants with elastic in the waist instead of a belt so on a regular basis i have to keep pulling them up.
 
I share all the above posters' sentiments regarding the young man's sagging pants. However, if the deputy did indeed call the building "MY courthouse", I would find that far more upsetting than the young man's pants. Since the evidence shows consistently that this forum is composed mostly of patriotic Americans who love the system of government bequeathed to us by our founding fathers("by the people, for the people", etc.), I doubt that I need to explain myself.

Andy

I don't know. I see it as a kind of R. Lee Ermey Gunnery Sergeant Hartman referring to "my beloved Corps".
 
I had a chp tell me I crashed my motorcycle on HIS road. I wasnt upset, he gave me a break on a gun I was packing.
 
I was in a Liquor Store not long ago and a guy came in with his pants below his buttocks! The guy behind the counter told him to pull up his pants and he pulled them up, walked behind the shelves and pulled them down again. When he got to the counter the clerk refused to sell him or his buddy any liquor. Then all three clerks started making fun of him, saying everything I have always wanted to say to a Sagger. We were all laughing and then the manager told them to leave. The Sagger started to get mouthy when a giant cop walks in from the back and escorted them out. Biggest cop I've ever seen!
 
Guy in front of me at the airport this past weekend had his pants saggin', could not let go of them with one hand without them having immediately fallen, so he walks around with one hand unable to do anything but hold his pants.

Fashion is fashion and I try to not judge b/c it's a taste thing, but this one is beyond me. Not only do you look like an idiot, it's the equivalent of duct taping your arm to your side. It slowed him down in line b/c he had to manage his boarding pass and license and doing the security stuff with one arm. I missed how he did the "arms up" routine on the scanning booth. of course he may have made up for it by not having to fool with putting his belt back on. lol.

I, of course, don't know what was in that particular deputy's mind when he said "my courthouse" but when I used the phrase "my county" or " my district" when working I was implying my responsibility for not ownership of either one.
 
At least it makes it easier for the long arm of the law to catch them with those things that low 'cause they can't run. ;)

It may be fashion, but it seems that the attitude that causes the pants to fall is the same one that seems inclined toward crime, or at least laziness.

I've never seen a working man with pants around his knees, as it's impossible to work.

Yes, I don't know either. I guess I would have needed to hear him say it to be able to discern his attitude. Sure struck me wrong seeing it in print, though.

Around here we don't have any one deputy responsible for the courthouse, but I suppose that some jurisdictions may work that way.

I see those useless guys all over, shuffling along, one hand holding the front of their pants up, the other with a cell phone to the ear (the latest model Iphone of course)

At my local Walmart I encounter many men who are traipsing around the store with one hand grabbing a fistfull of fabric in their crotch. I admit that I often laugh out loud. What are they going to do, chase me down?
 
Whats with the baseball caps that are too large and go over their ears?
Once my guard buddy told a guy comeing through our gate, "You are already so ugly ya dont need add on`s!"
