It's good you didn't have to go with option 2) asking your landlord to help get your belt undone. I could imagine the guy coming in, listening to your plea, eyeing you a bit strangely and saying, "Now wait a minute, you aren't by any chance that weirdo I saw in the men's room at the movie theater a few weeks back, are you? I'm not so sure about this, and anyway, what the hell was so damn funny?" Thanks for sharing your ingenuity and humor, Sherri [log in to unmask]
