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

I flashed the bin lorry once - I hadn’t realised my trousers had a big rip in the bum until the driver kindly pointed it out !

She knew what she was doing. Let her crack on.

For me, it’s more that she knows her skirt is short, so me telling her that her skirt is short isn’t going to do anything to benefit the situation.

She might not realise that her bum is showing, but she might take me approaching her as a critique of the length of her outfit - it’s embarrassing to be approached about.

Everyone has their own personal line of what they think strangers should/should not see of their body anyway - if she’s comfortable with her upper thighs on show, she might not care if her skirt rides up a bit for a few seconds when she temporarily bends to check the child.

Excuse me , I understand you're here to check out clothes on display and your booty is fully cooperating with you by putting herself to display

It's happened to me a couple of times. I have a really long torso and wide hips, so if I wear something remotely short, it ends up riding up and I flash my arsecheeks by accident. If I dared wear a denim skirt or the like i'd spend my entire day pulling it down to avoid moonies, which, if I was out with the kids trying to sort them out, I wouldn't get chance to pull it down every 10 seconds!

I'd keep my mouth shut and be completely unbothered by it. The only time i'd say something is if there happened to be a sanitary product on show as that's obviously a little more embarrassing and I wouldn't let a woman walk around unaware of it.
Bit of bum flashing on a hot day? Meh

Anyone who wears a thong knows this risk. She either doesn't care or gets a buzz from it.

Fucking hell, this is deeply unpleasant

first week back at school in September my hubby came home from picking our then 5 year old up and proceeded to tell me how he (and the rest of the parents) had seen his new teachers whole bum! A gust of wind had lifted her just above knee length dress up and she had a thong on 🙈

No I wouldn’t say anything why would I? My sister goes out with short dresses and no knickers she knows what shes was doing

I have a feeling she probably knew her bum could be seen.

Oh my very gawd!!! Can y'all actually hear yourselves?
bend from the hips

Call me old fashioned, but I do believe a woman's skirt should be longer than her vagina

Agree. I would probably have asked her where I could buy a thong like hers....(No. Not that brave - but I hope i would have said something as she probably just thought it was a great skirt and didn't realise it was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen)

If she had a baby in a pram and was juggling everything she probably didn’t even think that she might be flashing her bum. I wouldn’t say anything because I would worry about her reaction. Even smiling in my town gets a ‘what you looking at?’ response though. If I was told I was flashing my bum I would be embarrassed, I would rather the ignorant bliss of not knowing.

I think if it was a clear wardrobe failure (eg the skirt accidentally hooked up on something) then I’d tell her so she can sort it there and then. But if it’s just the way her outfit looks due to wearing a short item I wouldn’t say anything as I’d assume she is aware and wanted to look like that, or that it’s not something she can easily sort it out. Sometimes ignorance is bliss as she won’t be walking around feeling embarrassed until she can go home and change as she won’t realise what others saw…

to be honest though if I was wearing something that short I wouldn’t be bending over like that intentionally

Jeez this thread is mean-spirited.
When I was in my 20s I often wore short a-line skirts cos they looked lovely from the front. I never saw myself from the back, and I had no idea that I was showing my bum every time I bent over. As soon as I discovered that I stopped wearing such short skirts.
The poor lady probably had no idea about how much flesh she was exposing, and I can’t believe how many pps are suggesting that she was doing it deliberately.

Nobody wears a mini mini skirt and a thong unless they’re happy to have their arse on display

Just shout "Total Eclipse" next time. She'll get the picture

How did she not know that though?!

Pointless telling her, as she will already know and possibly wearing such a get up intentionally. It is worlds apart from having a skirt accidently hooked into knickers etc (that has happened to me when standing at the bar in a pub).

I once witnessed a man get a barrage of abuse when he pointed out that someone's ass crack was showing. Said ass crack was not that clean either

It’s rather like women wearing such see through leggings you can see every thing!

Surely when one pairs a short skirt with a thong, one would know about the risks of bending over and exposing one’s derrière?

I’d definitely NOT tell someone “ My dear, your cheeks are showing “ in these circumstances.

A girl in a very flimsy long skirt bent down once in the street, and her bottom took a “ Bite” out of the thin fabric and held onto it.

A male friend I was with noticed. 🙄

A hitched up skirt in error I have mentioned
and have has people warn me, too , Eg If zip came undone on trousers) very grateful to them.

YANBU , she knows . You only need to look at half the teenage girls going into school nowadays that are wearing belts instead of skirts and must be flashing their assets all day that that is obviously the way many people feel it’s appropriate to go out in public .

@Dibbydoos
can’t answer for the others but in terms of the world I live in…I live in a Midlands city, the type they often appears when we have unpleasant threads about the ‘worst’ places to live.

Members of the public are often drunk or stoned when going about their business, ‘anger management’ is a challenge to many of them. Looking at people ‘funny’ is risky; road rage is an every day occurrence.
Queuing in busy shops like B&M or Primark can be challenging if tempers are frayed and people are keen to take offence or create drama.

So in the situation described - adult with another adult, no vulnerability or learning disabilities etc mentioned I’d be very much inclined to keep my mouth shut. Perhaps if the lady was on her own, or a teenager rather than an adult, or clearly had a vision problem then I might consider it.

That's entirely different and cruel

If someone wears a short skirt and a thong, they are deliberately exposing themself. It's inappropriate and offensive (and unhygienic)
