School run wearing almost nothing. Why?

I have thought this through and decided I'm not in the least unreasonable but this still seems like the best place for it Grin

Yesterday, afternoon school run, a couple (parents) walking ahead of me, wearing:

(man) white sports shirt plus shorts (woman) some sort of sports top, I forget, plus shorts that can only be described as painted on, lycra, see through, swimwear material just covering the arse. Orange fake tanned legs and (both) MATCHING DAY GLO ORANGE TRAINERS.

Arms round each other and a few sneaky bum-rubs going on, in front of everyone, clearly unable to keep their hands off each other but honestly is this display of anatomy really necessary?

It was really difficult walking behind them as short of turning round and going back home, I had to just try and find somewhere to look that didn't involve her arse and his hands.

Oh god I would VOM if I seen bum pinching and slapping.

GingerCuddleMonster · 29/04/2015 11:08

so have you never playfully flirted with partner whilst walking?

I mean they weren't fingering and fucking in broad daylight. They weren't even akwardly snogging just bottom groping Confused

Psipsina · 29/04/2015 11:09

Erm nope, I haven't. Not even in Tesco Wink

hooby, the OP's person might not have had an arse and legs like the girl in the picture.
The picture seems to be an example of the shorts worn.

likalixer · 29/04/2015 11:10

There was possibly a lot of bum spillage - not a good look on the school run.

likalixer · 29/04/2015 11:12

My husband is will often grope my arse when we are out and about. But he wouldn't grope it if we were stood in the school playground waiting for our children to come out.
Even he knows there's a time and place...

I sort of see where you're coming from OP but I still think those shorts are ok

googoodolly · 29/04/2015 11:12

Clearly DP and I are an annoying couple then Grin we don't kiss all the time or anything but we often have a cheeky bum grope and we (gasp) hold hands in public too!

Psipsina · 29/04/2015 11:16

The ones in the picture are a conservative representation. The actual ones were stripy and sort of translucent. Coupled with the fact they were 'in motion' it really was a bit embarrassing.

Psipsina, Your description of the shorts puts me in mind of the bloke from

''dont you wish your girlfriend was hot like me'' ad Grin

Psipsina · 29/04/2015 11:22

Yes Grin

no she did actually look nice in them, it just was very revealing. I dunno; I think it's probably a matter of personal taste.

There were a lot of people staring. I hope we are not treated to it all again today.

GingerCuddleMonster · 29/04/2015 11:24

goog me and DP must need to be a register for inappropriate MN public behaviours Grin.

we tickle, hold hands, bottom grope , when pushing trollies I sometimes push the trolley whilst DP stands behind me and wraps his arms around me and pushes the trolley too, same with the pram. On the beach we play fight and giggle. We give each other the odd peck on the cheek and smile and flirt across a resteraunt table on "date night" Shock

Me and DP spend much of our time apart due to his career so maybe that's why we are how we are.

likalixer · 29/04/2015 11:26

Well that didn't work. Confused

How do you do pics on here?

KatoPotato · 29/04/2015 11:29

Gropers are embarrassing. I presently have my brother and his wife staying with us. He pulls her onto his lap for a straddle smooch and they sit rubbing each other's inside leg when we're all sitting about.

Dh and I hold hands when out, and he'll occasionally kiss the top of my head, but not while we're midst conversation with someone.

KatoPotato · 29/04/2015 11:32

Ginger would you act like this if you were for example in the supermarket with your sister?

ragged · 29/04/2015 11:37

It's freezing where I am, cold & windy, wish I could wear that little to walk to school & be comfy!!

GingerCuddleMonster · 29/04/2015 11:46

Me and my brother "play fight" still and were in our mid twenties. We also hug and have been known to miander home drunk together linking arms.

no bottom groping or kissing though

Joyfulldeathsquad · 29/04/2015 12:13

It depends where the setting is.

I seen a couple that had to be in there 40s in a full on tongue sarni out side Asda and it was hanging! People were walking past looking in horror - no one likes to see tongue Sad

If we are in a bar then then DP will drape his arm round me and rest his hand on my bum and have quick peck but on the way to school continuous feeling her up - urgh no thanks .

If dp slapped my arse while I was bent over while shopping I wouldn't be happy. I don't live in a benny hill sketch.

I often play foot ball with dd and d'p and that results in toy fighting but we're in our bavk garden so have the privacy.

I wouldn't be arsed if a couple started wrestling on the beach near me unless they were being dicks and spoiling my R&R

There was a couple in work who swore blind they wasn't seeing each other that used to toy fight and chase it other. It was embarrassing and awkward. They were both in their 30s

Georgina1975 · 29/04/2015 12:38

I really don't like to witness bum groping. And I really don't like DP doing it to me. He smacked my bottom once "playfully" and it took all my strength not to slap him back in the face. Maybe it is a repines to being exposed to too much Kenny Everett and Benny Hill in the 1970s.

Anyhow. Me + DP saw couple groping (they were sat in front of us) at the "welcome" from Head Teacher at start of primary school. That WAS really inappropriate.

Mrsstarlord · 29/04/2015 12:50

Disney is shocking for PDAs. People stand in the queue and snog and grope each other, full on tongues and everything - it's gross!

And you can't move anywhere because you would lose your place in the queue. Decided that it is a cultural thing as they were mainly south american.

DH and I will hold hands and occasionally have a quick peck (I'm in my 40s, he's in his 50s - does this mean that we are not allowed Joyfull) but any more is completely unnecessary and embarrassing for all concerned!

Sallystyle · 29/04/2015 12:54

Last year a woman did the school run in a skimpy bikini Hmm

likalixer · 29/04/2015 13:18

I can top that, in my son's infant school, there was a mother sitting in the front row watching her child's play, wearing a bikini top and swigging from a bottle of vodka.

Duckdeamon · 29/04/2015 13:36

Now that would bring out the cats bum mouths likalixer!

SingingHinnies · 29/04/2015 13:45

If anyone groped me in public they would get slapped, husband or not

likalixer Shock

SingingHinnies · 29/04/2015 13:49

kissing is not gopeing imo, still horrible when people do it in public in front of a big crowd and keep doing it when people look like this Hmm at the bus stop. A quick peck's fine with hand holding, quite sweet, full on smooching depends, hands up arse cracks, bum stroking or boob feeling is just nasty
