HEY!! Get your minds out of the gutter. Its not what you think.

Am I the only one that often has trouble zipping his daughters' coats. I have spent over 30 years with the zipper on the right side, but apparently girls zippers are on the left. What the hell! Make them the same!!
I must say, I was very hesitant to post this in fear I am the only idiot running into this zipper confusion.

Check your closet, because if you are wearing a coat with a zipper on the left you might be a girl.

Zip it... Unzip it

More practice on the wifes clothing is a good way. Also, try crossing your hands or start buying boys jackets for her.

This is why women put their cloths in the closet backwards, dishes in the dishwasher backwards and most anything else they do backwards.

Or it could be European

My Marker ski jacket has the zipper backwards and it definitely is not a girls coat. It drives me nuts as for some reason it is harder to zip up the zipper that way.

Zip

Traditionaly women have had help getting dressed. The buttons and zipps on women/girls clothing are a throw back to a time when some one stood in front of a woman to help her dress.

Curses!

I knew I revealed to much! Yes I was once the personal dresser to Her Royal Highness Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. I abused my position and was dismissed only to end up on The Circuit riding motocross. Then I was a rodie with Nashville Pussy for a spell. I was town to town up and down the dial until that dog, Wolfe, took me in and gave my life meaning.

Be Seeing You.

Quality counts

Personally, I have found that some clothing makers seem to use high-quality zippers while others use cruddy ones. And it makes a difference.

Along with that, sometimes the cloth that overlaps the zipper is too wide, causing too many snags. These are now the things I look at when shopping Target. Times have truly changed.

As an aside, it's fun to catch the what-the-heck-is-he-doing stares from the shopping moms as I zip and unzip little-girl jackets (on the hangers, not on girls).
