DH uses 4 pairs of underwear a day!

Lighthearted thread

AIBU to think this is excessive?!

He cycles to work so wears two pairs in case of ahem sweatiness soaking through on his work trousers. When he gets there he changes into a fresh pair. After work he cycles home, has a shower (key worker) then dons a fourth and final pair.

Four bloody pairs for every work day!

AIBU or is he?

I knew a man like this ,he was outrageous and wonderful,his name was Dr Day...is it him?!

[lljkk]

How far is his cycle commute, OP?

[Oysterbabe]

That's hipsters for you.

[JustinMyJustin]

Probably double the journey time when you’re riding on a penny farthing @lljkk

Lycra should never feature in any mans wardrobe!!!!

You clearly don’t know fit enough men!!

I can’t believe no one’s commented on the most shocking revelation- OH got married in a pith helmet. What?! Talk about upstaging the bride.

Agree with PP that this sounds pretty gross. Ok, if eccentric, to cycle in tweed if it’s a v gentle and leisurely ride, but if he’s so sweaty he needs two pairs of pants, the tweed must be minging. To those saying no need to shower after cycling to work- are you assuming enough sweat to soak through double pants?!

I can't even....but like why?

@1300cakes we call them trousers. As a collective word, they’re all trousers

Thanks for the laughs, everyone. To answer a few points:

The cycle ride is two miles along undulating country lanes.

He's not a politician, or a psychiatrist.

I only mentioned the key worker bit because he provides personal care to disabled clients and has to shower as soon as he gets through the door due to the risk of bringing CV back home. Apologies if I offended or upset anyone.

I thought the wedding outfit was hilarious and the children love looking through the album and laughing at silly Daddy.

Again, thank you all for your input. We need fun during these times

It must be the age of being very very fussy about cycling,and clothes. and being sweaty now.. In the 60's era, I and mostly everyone in my workplace cycled to work, two miles for me, We just got to work, stuck our bikes in the bike racks, and went straight to the offices.

This is how it is for most cyclists where I live now. I wonder if some people only think of cyclists as people who are "in to cycling", whereas I live in a city where cycling is a very common mode of transport and people jump on their bikes to get around all the time.

Maybe cyclists who need to change clothes are treating the commute like a race course. My body, let alone my arse has ever got that sweaty whikst cycling

I'm wondering where he hides his sweat soaked undies during the day 🤮🤣.

I once had to go into a (cycling) colleague's drawer and encountered numerous well used socks (shudders ).

I can't believe how many on here say shower at work. I've never had a workplace with a shower. Jealous.

Pants no big deal .No washing up Big Deal! 1/Marigolds 2/Dishwasher?

Well my kids have just been cackling with laughter at the sweat marks on my crotch area while doing a HIIT workout there so I’ve realised I am not one to be commenting on this thread
