Woman showing entire bum in public when bending over - what would you have done?

I think I must be becoming a prude but I wish people had a little more decorum these days. I don't want to someone's entire arse when I'm out. The other afternoon (5pm) I was walking through town and there was a very drunk women in a very short dress. She was bending over to vomit on the pavement and exposing her entire bum. It looked completely naked so I don't think she was wearing knickers. My Goodness.

Bizarre comments on here, she probably wasn’t aware as she was obviously stressed and focussed on dealing with new baby as OP stated.

I saw another parent with a young baby like this, but in a health centre rather than shopping. She was wearing a pre pregnancy dress and don’t think she realised how short it was at the back.

Short skirt + thong. She has to have known!

It certainly is.

Some will call it 'dressing for themselves' but I'd say the exact opposite is true.

Is she bent her knees she might have flashed her minge!

But if this was the beach no one would bat an eyelid.

Take a photo then show it to her? 🤣🤣🤣

She knows, she doesn’t care, I’d have pulled a face, I don’t want to see people arses in public thanks.

I might have said, I'd be careful bending in that skirt, when my skirt is short like that I just squat as you never know whose looking. Or I might just think they don't care.

I saw a girl once that her backpack had caused her skirt to ride up exposing her bum to everyone, I tapped her on the shoulder to tell her and when she turned she looked about 16! She was mortified and really grateful I'd told her. I'd hope someone would tell me so I'd definitely whisper to them if I saw it again

Outfits that are a perfectly good length when standing upright can become a bit much when bent over at a child’s level. Many a time I have accidentally flashed people due to forgetting this! Depending on situation I have been more embarrassed than others but honestly these days u see people laying on the beach in their thongs (not even a swim costume but clearly pants)!! So u get used to bodies hanging out! Just ignore and move on!!!

Similar thing happened to me. My friend had bent right over and teenage boys were laughing at her bum, so told my friend and now she won’t speak to me said she preferred not to know!

At least is wasn't a massive pubehairy arsehole on full show. Tonight at work a bloke bent over to empty his basket and I'm not kidding, his entire arse was on show. Right down to the browneye 🤢 rotten 🤢 jeans far too big and clearly didn't bother with underwear 🤮 rotten man, rotten 😬

Surely if someone wears a thong they are well aware of what can happen? It's very different to someone having their skirt caught up in their knickers. I would have left well alone.

I think people have forgotten what life is like with a young baby if they really think this young woman had the intention and time to choose clothes in the morning that enabled her to flash her behind to all and sundry.

Surely you would be out at a pub or club late at night if you wanted to do that, not stood in a queue in a clothes shop!

The far more likely scenario is that having had a broken nights sleep, she saw it was a hot day outside, and grabbed the first two items of summer clothing that she could find, and they didn’t fit her quite as well as they did before having the baby.

It's more embarrassing to find out hours later.

Last summer I was walking and couldn't help noticing the girl walking in front of me wearing a pair of what I'm assuming she'd call shorts - but consisting of basically a waistband with a modesty strip attached, so her entire bum cheeks were visible.

Then half the secondary school girls I see walking to school have skirts that barely cover.
"Young people these days tut."

Unless there's an obvious wardrobe malfunction like someone's skirt is tucked into their waistband, I probably wouldn't say anything as I'd assume they know what they're choosing to wear and I wouldn't want to embarrass them for the rest of their outing until they can change.

I had this happen to me, was walking for about 20 minutes on a busy street, I can't believe no one told me. I would have said something

This is Mumsnet so of course no you shouldn't have said anything. Because her showing her bum is only an issue because all men are sex pests and she should be free to go out naked and its the bastard sex abusing men who are the issue and why are you body shaming her when its the men not her bum thats the issue its the men THE MEN YOU HEAR ME!! ITS ALL OF THE MEN! 🙄

You don't live in Burnley do you lol x

I would have smiled to myself and moved on. When I had a young baby and was in that stage where you take the whole travel system out with you and have to fold it down, lift it in to the boot etc, and on a hot summers day wore an M&S chino type skirt. After dismantling the pram several times and bending down I realised skirts and prams don’t mix, I opted for shorts for the rest of that summer. Saying that, I wouldn’t have worn a thong, that makes things 10 times worse.

Same here!

If it's something someone can easily fix there and then, like this or a skirt in knickers then I'll let them know. Something that can't be immediately sorted, like see through leggings , I wouldn't say anything.

Last night I was picking up a DC from the station. I was waiting at the bottom if the escalators. As I looked up for her a very beautifully dressed young woman was coming down in a short dress. Make up perfect, great fitted dress hair to perfection. Unfortunately I could only focus on the fact that her labia were out for the world at such an angle. I wanted to tell her as I am 100% sure she wouldn't have known that from this view all was on show. However I wussed out and let her walk past me.
