DEAR ABBY: I'm writing you on behalf of a friend. No matter where her husband is -- at home, at a friend's, walking into a store or walking around town -- he's always dropping his pants to tuck in his shirt. One of these days someone is going to think he's flashing and have him arrested. His wife is afraid it will happen.
My friend has made comments to him about it, but he still continues. Please give me some advice because someone else may have the same problem, and it may save another family from this embarrassment. -- A FRIEND IN ST. PAUL
DEAR FRIEND: Your friend's concerns are legitimate. A man dropping his pants in a public place is, to say the least, attention-getting. If his concern is really that his shirts creep up, suggest that your friend talk to a tailor -- many cleaners have them in their shops -- about how to prevent the problem from happening. During a Minnesota winter, she could save him from catching pneumonia from the bottom up.
