Dear Re-String It!
Wow, I wish I’d found you sooner, but I’m so glad that I have now. A few months ago, I was heading off to New York to meet my fiancee’s parents. The guys took me out the night before as a send off, and things got a little crazy. The next thing I know, I’m waking up extremely late for my flight.
I made the mad dash to the airport in the sweats that I slept it. Too bad I didn’t realize that I’d forgotten to buy a sweatpants drawstring replacement for them to keep them from falling down! I checked in online from my phone in the taxi on the way to the airport, so thought I was all good. Then, as I ran through the airport, heading straight for TSA, I suddenly felt a cool breeze on my legs. I looked down a little too late and realized that my pants were down at my ankles. Two seconds later, I tripped and fell flat on my face, pants down and all. Forget about the embarrassment I felt—two TSA officers surrounded me, helped me to my feet and escorted me to secondary security check.
I smelled a little hungover, so they thought I was trying to travel intoxicated. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get on my flight and had to reschedule the oh-so-important meeting of the parents. Had I went to a clothing repair shop and gotten myself a replacement for that evil sweatpants drawstring, I probably wouldn’t have been in that mess. Even better, if I’d found Re-String It beforehand, I could have been restringing my pants in the taxi ride on the way to the airport.
My rescheduled trip is next week, and you can be certain I won’t be going out the night before I fly and that I will definitely be carrying one of the great inventions of the year, the Re-String It, with me in all my travels.
Best regards-
A victim of an evil missing drawstring
