Partner got really funny about swimwear I wore to work away day

100% inappropriate!
My God, I am dying of secondhand embarrassment. The thought of wearing a thong bikini in front of colleagues! 😱

😂😂😂

OP, what is the occupation of your team? Can’t get over a work team trip to a swimming pool @JadeHoliday

I was thinking he's out of order until I read it was a thong bikini. Totally inappropriate, both for a work event and a family water park. Very grim.

Interesting! I’d have thought you spend the whole time pulling the string out of your crack, water and movement forcing it up kind of thing.

I know I’m now old fashioned but I feel really uncomfortable in close quarters with women (or men) in thongs, different at the beach just just feels unnecessary in local swimming or spa days, I don’t understand what the need is, I don’t want to see peoples arse cheeks lol

😁

tbh i don't like seeing my coworker's arse cheeks and am not impressed if they wear thong bikinis to swimming events. Same as i don't like it when the men wear budgie smugglers.

They are for free time and holiday (and even then, i think they are plug ugly, but that's just my opinion, clearly others like them)

I don’t believe a word of this but if it is true, am I the only one that thinks no one in their right mind would go to a water park in a bikini, the force of the rides means that the bottoms often get pulled down. And climbing stairs in a thong with your colleague face in your arse? Nah, not having it.

It is a really bad choice of awayday activity.There would be quite a few people who wouldn’t want to wear swimwear or jump in a pool with colleagues.

I voted yanbu but that was before you said about the thong.

Can’t believe a working bond event involved a trip to a swimming pool

If there were 2/4 people there or a group of 50 i would find relevant, also if it was a mixed group. I find it relevant if it was a mixed group or all women.

The is she gorgeous was more aimed at her husband thinks she is and doesn't want her showing her arse off at work.

I am very aware women of all shapes and sizes can have affairs and wear whatever bikinis they want.

I would think you were an attention seeker if you wore a thong at a work thing - even if in a swimming pool. Not a work thing, no problem.

This may be a reflection on my workplace, but someone rocking up in a thong bikini would be the subject of much hilarity, and would be one of those stories we bond over for the next few years. But you don't say what industry you work in. Just seems so completely unprofessional. You are still 'at work' off site.

I don’t believe for a minute that this thread is genuine, but I sometimes wear one when swimming and snorkelling. The bottoms are actually a lot more secure than an ordinary bikini.

Sorry, but I think this is total CRINGE. I see these thong bikinis (urgh) and it's so obvious that the wearer is crying for attention. I agree with your partner - it's totally inappropriate for a work event. Your female colleagues will have talked about it, for sure. Why would you subject anyone to this? No one wants to see your bum cheeks, except maybe the guys ..... and you know this. That's why you chose that bikini. You know it, I know it, your colleagues know it, your partner knows it. Would you be happy if your boyfriend wore a thong in front of his young female colleagues?

Up to you at the end of the day but I wouldn’t have worn a bikini to a work event, plus it was indoor and watersides. Surely one piece would have been better for slides and being indoor anyway?!?
Sure you wasn’t trying to impress anyone??

I definitely see the issue - it’s inappropriate to wear a thong bikini for a work event !

Last time I went to one. They stipulated wearing full bathing costumes, presumably for that precise reason. Again long time since I went to one though, so who knows ?

You should have said it was a thong bikini in the OP. That really changes things. Thong bikini is inappropriate and totally unnecessary. I don't know why anyone thinks it acceptable to have their arse out like that anywhere.

Initially, I voted YANBU. Then I read your update, that you were wearing a thong bikini and you literally did have your arse hanging out.

Changed to YABU. I agree with your husband.

Why on earth would you wear a thong around your work colleagues?

dreadful. Completely inappropriate to wear a thing. To be honest I think swimming is not an inclusive activity for a work event. If it was on a Saturday afternoon fine. If it was in work time I feel sorry for anyone who did not want to show their body off or see the OPs arse.

A thong bikini at a works do is not appropriate. Why anyone things anyone else wants to see their arse is not quite beyond me but it's not a good assumption.

Blimey, this is about as far from my life as it gets 🤣 where on earth do you work, op 😵‍💫

Unless you work in a strip club thongs are never appropriate work wear. I would have worn a swimsuit around colleagues tbh but a regular bikini shouldn’t raise too many eyebrows.
