It's been on since 6 this morning and I'm in agony - band is digging in ferociously to my back. On train home from work (work in London live in the midlands). Train is busy but no one sat next to me.
I reckon I could get of off in stealth - Ninja style and slip it in my bag.
AIBU and should I just sit here and suffer for the sake of bra/train ettiquette?

Bra is the right size, oddly. Just can get very uncomfortable at the end of a very long day. Fits fine normally.

It's off. casually slung my jacket over one shoulder and did the double shoulder strap through sleeve and the slipped it under my top, under jacket into bag.
No one saw and happy that chest is no longer in boob jail.
Glad nobody was too horrified at the idea on here Grin

Can you get inside loo cubicle? Even though it is out of order?

ShinyTurd · 30/03/2014 21:12

Do it, do it, do it Grin

kidsarekillingmesoftly · 30/03/2014 21:12

Ah, cross posted. Well done objection

Gileswithachainsaw · 30/03/2014 21:15

Well done :)

Fullpleatherjacket · 30/03/2014 21:15

Marvellous.

Nothing like letting the girls swing free Grin

firstchoice · 30/03/2014 21:18

Ha! I've done this many a time. good for you. Grin

Done that before myself - on a day when I'd left my house at 5:30, flown to London, sat through training all day, got on the train home then been hideously delayed! My bras fit (naturally Wink) but after sitting for that long they can still get a wee bit annoying! I think I got to about midnight, sitting on a non moving train in the middle of nowhere before the out the sleeve stunt was employed!

AlpacaPicnic · 30/03/2014 22:08

I 'released the boys' in a busy cinema once... Nobody noticed and I put my jacket over me like a blanket afterwards to disguise any free form movement...

PickleSarnie · 30/03/2014 22:22

You can't possibly be on a train with just one toilet. There's no way I could sit on a train to Sheffield (assuming you're on East Midlands) without a wee - never mind un-comfy norks.

LineRunner · 30/03/2014 22:50

I once sat on a train from Cardiff to Salisbury without a single working toilet. One had the door ripped off, and the other was locked shut because of excess shittage. Try taking your bra off in that.

Marking place and waiting for scottishmummy to show up and call you 'minging' and 'bogging' in haiku.

StatisticallyChallenged · 30/03/2014 22:57

Yeah, I ate food on that train journey too. I think I even reapplied my lipstick and powdered my nose.

MinesAPintOfTea · 31/03/2014 06:45

I've done that on a national express coach in the past. Halfway from London to Manchester my skin all started to hurt. Getting off wasn't an option and I suddenly felt too ill to walk up a moving coach to use the horrible toilet. Bra came off, Jeans undone etc.

By the time I was in my parents' house I was covered i'm am itchy rash.

PedantMarina · 31/03/2014 06:51

Well impressed and jell Envy of your phone coverage if you can keep us updated the entirety of your train journey.

Spectacularly missing point, errm, points.

Objection · 31/03/2014 11:16

I managed to watch several episodes of Buffy on Netflix on my phone on last weeks journey! The signal to London is awful but its pretty good on the way back.
At the office and trapped in boob jail again. Sigh.

OK, now you're not even stealth boasting, Objection. Hate you.

BUNNIES, BUNNIES! IT MUST BE BUNNIIIIEEEEEZZZZZ!

Lady of large norkage! Brilliant!

My humungously-norked friend (think a J cup) starts taking her bra off as she gets out of her car and throws it into the house as soon as she gets the door open. I've seen her do it, it's a very fluid action Grin

ThatBloodyWoman · 31/03/2014 22:02

BTB.

M cup here - yes, M Shock

It has just been removed prior to hopping into bed - one swift motion.

Many years of practice!

TheVictorian · 31/03/2014 22:09

Some trains i've seen have those little black domes which is the trains cctv, i think if you can take it off ninja style you should be ok.

Primafacie · 31/03/2014 22:09

Book yourself an appointment at Rigby and Peller. Life will never be the same again.

(Well done for taking it off btw, I love a good ninja bra-off)

NearTheWindymill · 31/03/2014 22:10

Glad to hear you're libooberated. I never really understand the connection between burning the bra and being liberated before. Never been that uncomfortable I suppose - nobody should feel they have to be though. Oh, and the discomfort caused by subordination. Oh heck - I'm going now else the intellectual lot will be here and leave me standing. LRD - where are you?
