Well, I didn't need to get up on a ladder. (The ceilings on the third floor are only a couple of inches more than eight feet, and we attached the scraper to the pole from my push broom.) And the way this skirt hangs, I'd have to be a ways up for it to matter.
This is, in fact, my "doing stuff I want denim for" skirt. It's not the "nice denim"; it's "go ahead and get messy" denim. And it's not like it gets in the way of carrying stuff. So I guess I just saw it as being functionally equivalent to jeans for this sort of thing. It really didn't occur to me as an odd/extreme choice. Hmm.
But you're right that I'm more attached to skirts than most women (though I've met a couple of exceptions). I'll grant that. Still, I know some women who avoid wearing skirts to a greater extent than I avoid wearing pants, which is a kind of related phenomenon...
