Bums hanging out of the bottom of teeny tiny shorts

Don’t know if this really AIBU or a question!
AIBU to think that shorts have become way too short ?
I have seen a LOT of girls in shorts today - with their bum cheeks hanging out the bottom ! Personally I wouldn’t let my daughter out like that. And I wouldn’t were them myself (I would give everyone nightmares !).
so what’s the consensus on bums hanging out of shorts ?

Exactly! Everyone has traces of urine and faecal matter on those cheeks. 🤮

I was in the unfortunate position of being right behind a pair of arse cheeks on an escalator recently and I caught a slight whiff of poo. I kid you not.

I would have been tempted to loudly say Eww, can you smell that, it stinks of shit. 💩
People can turn round to look at the person wearing the flash your bum cheek shorts and figure out why it stinks. Gross!

I saw a picture of a woman's funeral recently and her two daughters were leaning over the coffin with those shorts on, in church with their arse cheeks on display for the congregation. I'm no prude but it sickened me. In my town those leotard things also seem to be in fashion, with every bump, nipple and camel toe out in full force. I have finally turned into my mother, I regularly think What is the world coming to?

Something needs to be done and someone needs to get to the bottom of this.

I don’t remember the last time I saw someone’s arse because I don’t pay attention.

its fine to look away if it is such an issue. If I do see something I would rather not see, I don’t judge, I just choose to disengage.

I don’t get how people even notice the choices of others. It’s much less stressful to concentrate on what you are doing and leave others fo do the same.

But when you see a thing you make an judgement and either disengage or don’t, unless you’ve got some kind of neurological disorder where you are unable to engage with anything you see. If you did you would never recognise a friend or be able to navigate through familiar landmarks because everything would be merged into one continuous blur.

I didn’t want frumpy shorts, but thank you for your input.

🤣 Oh, so you're one of the ones with your bum out! Oh well, make sure you wipe properly!

DimwittedSkater · 02/07/2026 16:55

@Daisy54 I hope your Daisy Dukes aren't white, Daisy, otherwise you'll look like you're wearing a nappy! 🤣

That is basically office wear though compared to what is being discussed on the thread.

Maybe she had a pair on in the coffin?

It looks absolutely dreadful. No way would my daughter be walking around in public with half her backside on display.

The current fashion is the whole backside.

Who on earth takes pics at a funeral, is this a new thing? Who wears shorts to a funeral and then bends over a coffin? All sounds very strange.

It annoys me as it’s one extreme to rhe other .. girls/ women so desperate for male attention they want to attract it by wearing unattractive and obviously sexually provocative clothing because some 16 year old has seen it on SM . To women clad in head to toe cover ups because a religion has been interpreted this way by .. men ! Who mostly ignore the same religion requirements for themselves..
common denominator here ..

I agree. They are doing it for male attention and shouldnt be surprised if they get some.

Apparently she did! Her daughters were dressed identically and the mum was too.

This was virtually unheard of until about 10 years ago. I was very shocked when my grandfather's funeral was filmed, but it was done by a photographer and professionally done to send to relatives abroad. Now I see young ones waving phones, taking selfies with the coffin and/or at the grave side. I came across a reddit thread recently asking what is the new sign of chavvy behaviour and posing at the graveside was a top answer. I actually saw a request on a funeral announcement recently "please no filming at the graveside, our mother was a private person". Who on earth would have thought...

That's appalling behaviour. Did anybody say anything??

Yes a little bit at the bottom, not the whole cheek.

So where would you draw the line?

Office wear! 🤣🤣

Yeah, some people really don't have a clue, do they. There was a thread on here a while ago about a woman who went into her office job wearing scrunch-bum leggings and a tight cropped T-shirt. 🤣

Then your great nephew could probably use a lesson in not shouting out personal comments.

And I’m guessing your granny was saying that many decades ago in the bad old days when women did what they were told

"Then your great nephew could probably use a lesson in not shouting out personal comments"

Well done to the nephew for saying it like it is. The straightforward talk of children is a wonderful thing.

Pump up the jam, pump it up a little more.

Fart out the shorts, fart it out a little more.

I’ve never really cared what other people are wearing tbh

No they didn't, which made me think I was odd for being horrified.
