ffs - it's not hard to understand is it? If you are wearing low-cut jeans and low-cut or no pants, and you crouch down or squat to play with or talk to your dcs, your arse crack will be on display to the whole playground.

lovely warm day today but the playground experience was rather spoilt by arse cracks on show everywhere. my eyes!

None of this would be a problem if everyone
followed my mother's command:

Tuck your vest in your PANTS and your shirt in your TROUSERS!!

I was shocked by a mother pushing a pushchair who seemed to be wearing a normal looking t-shirt - she turned around and it was backless - Oh my giddy aunt. (to put it in context, we live in a very "effnik" area - lots of mums are covered head to toe apart from their face - so a bare back was a shocker. I definly couldn't cope with bums as well.

Oh yes.

I strongly believe that anyone should be allowed to wear whatever they jolly well like. But sometimes I really wish that they wouldn't.

"Put it away, love!"

I struggled to find jeans that would cover the vast acreage of my arse and reach all the way up to my waist. I really can't bear the feeling of things sitting around my (admittedly flabbed over) pelvis. My knickers must reach my belly button and my jeans must do the same. Thank heavens for saint C+A. I was so thrilled with them, I got three pairs.
Why are boyfriend cardigans called that? I got one last year in England and my friend commented on it. DD misheard and told DH that I was wearing my boyfriend's cardigan.

My pet hate is thongs showing above the waistband.

I suggest that in the spring you go to the school gate with a bunch of daffodils and present one to each offender in a gracious manner in true Carry On style.

YANBU. I hate the way everyone has half their arse on display these days, and that applies to men AND women. I've noticed people are like it at work too, and have often been confronted with arse-crackage in the office while someone is bending over to do the filing.

But then, perhaps I am just getting old before my time and should learn to enjoy the human body more? Grin

nameymcnamechange · 05/11/2010 12:34

OP - I quite agree. I am sick to the back teeth of arsecracks on display everywhere. Get some bigger bloody pants if you can't be doing with high rise jeans.

Miggsie · 05/11/2010 12:41

I think it is because clothes maunfacturers have worked out that cutting 2 inches off the waist of 40000000 pairs of trousers when they make them means they can make more trousers form the same amount of cloth. So they sell us clothes that show midriffs and areses and make even more profit.

this is called "fashion" and yes, it is horrible.

NerdyFace · 05/11/2010 12:41

Hahaha...I don't mind it so much!

Whenever I have to pick my little brother up from school there are some "Yummy Mummy's" around!! So i'm hardly bothered! Grin

jonesy71 · 05/11/2010 12:43

"oh my giddy Aunt" madsad it's a long time since I heard that expression, my Gran used to say it

I would definitely not allow my bikerack bottom cleavage to be out on display in public, but have once or twice inadvertantly allowed it to show at home while on the floor playing with the children. I did put a stop to this though after my youngest toddled by and casually dropped his dummy in the gapingpit gap before joining in with the floor play.

I guess he thought it was a safe place to keep it.

rockinhippy · 05/11/2010 12:47

YNBU, don't like it either, & I'm a firm believer in freedom of dress (I'm sure I've probably done worse Blush but theres a time & a place & DCs School 1st thing in the morning, is neither the time nor the place....cover it up love Hmm

mind you, I can bear if far more than the hairy arsed male bum crack, complete with clingons Shock [puke] that suddenly popped out inches from my face, as its shabby looking owner stretched up to reach something off the supermarket shelf this morning Confused put me right off my shopping that did Angry

arfasleep · 05/11/2010 12:56

Grin at smack the pony. Totally agree, sometimes when I see that I wonder if person 'displaying' is aware of it, pretty sure I'd be. Equally horrid on either sex.

thesunshinesbrightly · 05/11/2010 13:25

I'm ok.. cause my thong hides my arse crack.

hifi · 05/11/2010 13:54

pale,spotty arses,urgh.
