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

[Proaky]

Saw the spectacle for myself. As a woman in my late 20s I have absolutely no desire to participate in this. Seems like an outdated 2013 “quirky” trend that won’t die. I’m always surprised at the diversity in those who participate - old/young, thin/bigger etc.

Maybe I’m getting older but I really just thought “put it away”

Saw the paps at the St I got off and would be mortified being photographed in my knickers.

Some of the hairy, Casper legs were quite frankly gross!

What’s the event?

Oh I do, I do 😂

🙄

Amen!

I thought that deserved more of a 😁 than a 🙄.

It would be literally impossible for them to take their trousers in a bag with them and put them on when they got to work.

This thread illustrates perfectly how much MN has changed.

It used to be fun and funny.

Now it's an exercise in who can be offended the most.

It causes no harm to anyone and will probably be something that they laugh about for years to come.

a story for the children and grandchildren

Exactly. As you say when they got to work, ie they’re not at work while they’re travelling on the tube.

They must be cold

No Trousers Tube Ride

It's literally in the OP

Its like the naked bike ride thing. Its making people unwilling participants in their exhibitionism.
Also, can you imagine putting your bare skin on a tube seat?

And if they were travelling to work it's entirely possible to put trousers back on before work anyway

Like I said, pointless slop. At least do it for charity.

You sound offended by that?

And like I say, you can say that about plenty of things people do for fun 🤷‍♀️

If you organised an everyone meet at the local park in your underwear for no other reason than being in your underwear, is that really an event?

Not offended, no.

Sad that's it's come to this though.

Gross.

Yes...

You're not angry, you're just disappointed?

I don’t see a problem with it at all. It’s not something I would do, but it would make me chuckle if I came across them on the tube.

I haven't seen this. Is it in the daytime? Because personally I want every possible layer of protection between myself and wandering hands or other body parts during rush hour.

Mostly nostalgic.

Plenty of women do in the summer. Or at least wearing skirts so short that they may as well be. I'm not offended by them either.
