What do you make of ‘No Trouser Tube Ride’?

I watched a clip recently about hygiene on train seats. Think bringing bed bugs home with you.
Nuff said.

It’s very strange. Some wearing jock strap type underpants.
A tradition like this attract the odd weirdo too.
I don’t see my own leg’s November to March. 🥶

Well it's all about exhibitionism, people hoping to get noticed by someone .
Keep it amongst yourselves I say.

I think it's disgusting and very unhygienic.
Years ago I used to recoil from seeing men in football shorts all muddy legs on the tube.
Other people have to sit on those seats.
There's a reason overalls etc exist. Not just to protect the wearer. But to protect others as overalls should be removed before mingling. Ditto sportswear.
The fact the tube and bus seats are fabric makes all this more anxiety inducing. Other countries have hard surfaces on bus n train seats. Easy to wipe and hose down.
I was once pricked by i know not what in the upholstery of a bus seat. Went straight to a walk in for tetanus injection. The nurse could see the point of entry. Took it seriously.

It grossed me out, I wouldn't put my bottom without trousers or a skirt on on a tube seat. It's disgusting. London Underground is the most polluted part of London.

Also most people don't have the physique for it to be visually attractive.

Well let’s see. So give a translation because I am not understanding the order the words are in as you have presented them.

I'm not sure you'd understand even if I said it in words of 1 syllable

Which is a very fair and accurate comment too 🤣

Oh please, this is MN, there is no room for being sensible about things 😄

Honestly, I sometimes wonder if I have been transported back to Victorian times when reading MN threads. I hope any easily shocked MNers have taken to carrying smelling salts to deal with any attacks of the vapours they might experience when seeing (gasp!!!) people in their underwear.

True thought that is, you could have stopped typing just prior to 'about' and it would have been just as true and perhaps, in a way, truer.

Well, one would hope. However I don't think it's always a given.

Can you translate it? It looks like the Morecambe & Wise piano sketch - all the right notes but not in the right order.

That doesn't surprise me

I have no idea what any of that means.

I’d prefer there were jeans or similar in between us.

This is a bit silly. Everyone's naked under their clothes, there are dangling willies everywhere you go and if you sit on a tube carriage there is a high chance there'll be one not too far from your face.

I don't like having anyone's crotch near my face on the tube so if it's crowded I stand. Easy peasy.

It's done on the day that people feel down. People go to the tube, remove their trousers or skirt and ignore everyone else being half dressed.

Then everyone meets up for a pub lunch.

With the price of travel on the London Underground I can think of better ways to spend my money than riding the trains in my drawers

Tight trousers can show you more penis gasps because not a PENIS than those underpants are

Well that’s good to know. Passengers only have to have a willy encased in a brief near their face instead of an actual dangling one (phew 😁).

there is a difference. And you know it.

Not all actions and clothing are acceptable in all locations.

Yes they might be, but they wouldn’t necessarily be any more revealing than some budgie smuggler swimming trunks.

I hear you 😁. Apparently if you don’t find this all ‘such fun’ (as Miranda’s mother would say), you’ve got a sense of humour by pass. 😏

It does go to show though that you can get humans to do the dumbest things. No wonder cult leaders are so successful, there’s a lot of sheep out there who just follow if someone convincing leads.

It might have been someone who thought, what can I do that most people would think was stupid but I can get lots of sheep to follow it.

They might be Y fronts.
