Some people tie a bandana around their ankle to keep it from doing that but then I guess it looks like you're in a gang to some people haha.
I wear the same exact kind of pants all the time, never once had this problem for years now until the other day when it happened like 3 days in a row, then just stopped. It was weird.

This has only ever happened to me when i wore baggy jeans. It happens to my shoelaces a lot though which is why i tie them behind my ankle now.
I love my bike but i hate myself

I ripped both laces on my Janoski's ($80) within the first day of riding in them.

^you know it. I have yet to find pants that aren't insanely uncomfortable to ride in. Shorts suck if you crash or if the pedals swing around and get your legs, but I'm more prone to crash in pants anyways, so it evens out.

I've never caught any of the jeans I bought that actually fit in my chain and they're not uncomfortable to me, then again I've been buying the same Levi 508 31 32's since I started riding. If my jeans were slightly tighter I'd be even happier.
Shoelaces get tied inside my shoes behind the tongue and ends tucked under/beside my feet.

God, no. Not for me. Every time I decide that it's too uncomfortable to wear jeans, I end up wearing shorts occasionally and then shit happens to my legs.

Oh, and I have the problem of getting grease from the back of my leg making contact with the sprocket. I got a guard sprocket and that problem was solved up until I started running a regular sprocket..

Skinny jeans , cuff the bottom of regular ones , shorts , get an elastic and put them on your jeans so they dont snag , buy shitty 30$ jeans and ride them only

That doesn't help the coming to an immediate stop when the jeans get caught if you go the 30$ way.
