No Pants Epic Fails

There's a lot of annoying hipster shit that goes on in New York City, but No Pants Subway Ride day has got to be the most obnoxious day of the year.  As if the concept isn't bad enough, people clearly do not know the proper way to behave in public when wearing only their skivvies. If there is one at all. This is evidenced in the following things I witnessed around Union Square today:


1. Girls in Forever 21 trying on jeans in the middle of the store. You wouldn't take off your clothes to try on jeans out in the open any other day, so just because you have easy access does not make this okay.

2. People having the balls to even enter Whole Foods in only underwears, let alone browse the hot food section. This is a frickin grocery store. I'm trying to buy a chick pea salad, I should not be able to see your pubic hair.

To make matters worse, it's never the people you'd actually want to see pants-less that participate in these things, is it?

I'm mortified, if not surprised, that this No Pants Day is actually a thing people embrace. DC certainly has its share of hipsters, but so far I haven't had the misfortune to be confronted with one pantless, at least not in public. ;)

Perhaps there's a higher, more appropriate sense of shame yet clinging on here in the nation's capital. Who would of thought THAT statement could be said.

More likely it's the general conservatism of dress that predominates here keeping naked hipsters relatively in check. The hipster-favored neighborhoods are also a bit removed from the center here and not necessarily as connected as say Brooklyn to the Lower East Side. Then again, I would think that stodgy downtown DC would then be all the more juicy a target--real shock value--for pantless masses yearning to be free (to "express" themselves?).
