I remember a scene from a movie or show I watched on tv in the 90’s two young adults one man one female were tied with a rope together on their belt loops on their jeans. Their boss wanted them to do that because there was a storm coming and it was to ensure a buddy system so no one got lost. They were preparing the place for the storm while this was happening. They were either camp counselors at a summer camp or possibly ranch hands on a dude ranch or even workers at a resort. There was a whole bunch of young adults working there.
There was some sexual tension between the two and I remember him yanking on the rope a lot and they bickered.
