Precariously poised...

I wear one of those skater clasp belts. Next to the till is a device that keeps notes safe, and it sticks out a little further than the till itself. On more than one occasion I have caught the clasp on this thing, making the belt loosen and my trousers prepare for rapid descent. Thus I am forced to stand in a very awkward position, with my legs spread and without moving WHILST AT THE SAME TIME SERVING so that they don't crumple to the floor in an embarrasing heap.
