Buying jeans is probably one of my least favourite things to do.

A friend of mine was taking his daily commute home on the Tube one evening, people packed in armpit-to-sweaty-armpit, when he witnessed something alarming. A young commuter had made the mistake of standing on the foot of the (noticeably bigger) man beside him. The bigger man was furious, and it seemed an apology wasn’t enough to make him let it...
