The English language needs a word for the rage I feel when the company that makes the pants I like discontinues them.

Similar to when you favorite olive oil/coffee/granola/etc. just disappears from the shelves of your favorite store?
I call that #traderjoeism
Но в русском же такие слова есть?
@evacide Switch to German and coin a word like Hosenwut (for being really, really angry about pants) That's shorter than Schadenfreude.
@evacide right ass indignation

@evacide rug pull/pants pull?
@evacide trousers? are able to do that to you?
Ooof I know what you mean... got to the point that I take a certain pair of trousers I bought years ago to a tailor and get him the fabric to make me a pair from time to time, copying said pants every time because the 'certain brand' I used to buy from decided it was too much of a hassle to keep making BigandTall sizes. Fuck them I have them tailor made now.
Unobtainiangst?
@evacide Shoes. They get worse every year, so I regret not buying in bulk when I find a winner.

@evacide
schadenjordache?
The same experience 50 years ago. They stopped making my favourite candy bar. Apparently too many liked it.
Forever Yours.
@evacide And it wouldn’t be quite as bad if companies were required by law to disclose their discontinuations months beforehand. Then at least you could stock up.
