If silverfish live on book glue, I'm screwed - they'll never leave.
Wait! Maybe that's how Bush plans to render them all! He's gonna get rid of all the books!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would be able to guesstimate what size jeans I wear. I was in a hoity-toity used clothing store, and the sizes were all 25, 26, 27, and I had no idea what size I would be. I know that's not a waist measurement in inches, and it's certainly not inseam
By waist size, do you mean your natural waist, or where your navel is, or where the waistband of the jeans hit? Inseam also works best if you have a standard style of jeans.

He's busy creating a living Hell for the rest of us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

By waist size, do you mean your natural waist, or where your navel is, or where the waistband of the jeans hit? Inseam also works best if you have a standard style of jeans.
By waist size, I mean the number of inches around of fabric the garment has at its waist. (Which may or may not be where my own waist is.) Inseam is pretty straightforward as well: the measure from the garment's crotch to the garment's hem. How those fit on me is another matter; but if I at least knew that the "size 25" meant "inseam is 25 inches", I would be able to determine that my legs are a lot longer than that, so unless the crotch is somewhere halfway down my thighs, that won't fit me.
I don't think it's possible to do measurements on the body and make that a sizing system. People measure in different places, or the garment isn't designed for what the person is measuring for, etc. etc. But describing the garment by its own measurements, that seems like a feasible thing to do.

The real problem with with October surprises is that they aren't, and people still fall for them anyway.
