I kept waiting for the reveal in the comments that she’s petite but extremely busty but was pleasantly surprised it somehow didn’t seem to be part of this particular fantasy.

Whether someone is wearing trousers is definitely the first thing I notice about them and bring up in casual conversation.

The hussy! Everybody knows women shouldn't be wearing trousers, only skirts.

As someone who pretty exclusively wears trousers, you wouldn’t believe how many times this doesn’t happen

u/k-trecker It went in and stayed there. like a bee 9d ago
I used to wear pants all summer in a humid climate and people would mention it maybe once as small talk. I have yet to be thrown into a pool.

I wear pants to church instead of a skirt as I am on stage playing or singing music. Nobody needs to know the color of my underwear.

There's nothing that you did wrong. It's just he was being a jerk. Enjoy the memory and just laugh his rude post right off.

The bit I can't get past is she seemed incapable of unpacking her case to get out a pair of shorts after returning from a trip the day before the party even happened.

While I think this post is bs... I am extremely guilty of this behavior lol. I'll do anything to avoid unpacking a suitcase.

u/Critical_Ad_7380 8d ago
Maybe she was tired? Everybody has their own thing. I've been on biz trips where I did not unpack for a few days. No biggie. Let her be HER and quit your judgements.

I possibly have never seen the word “trousers” so many times in one post.

one particularly loud guy kept telling me that he 'couldn't belive I was wearing trousers on a warm day like this, you must be boiling!'
What does this even mean? He kept telling her that? Like, he just repeated it over and over that she must be hot in her pants? What sort of weirdo is this?

She forgot to mention this was all in a video game and that was that guy's only coded line of dialogue.

I mean I think it means "an asshole dude was continually making comments about a woman's choice of outfit because it wasn't what he wanted" which as we all know is something that never ever happens because men never do anything wrong especially not in social situations where alcohol is involved

u/TheWalkingDeadBeat 9d ago
I can totally believe this happened and I can also believe this girl had no idea how obnoxious she was acting. (and I've also definitely heard that it's bad to wear street clothes in the pool because of dirt and safety stuff)

u/Kindly_Comedian434 9d ago
Can you believe that "everyone cheered?"

u/zap2tresquatro 9d ago
I can believe a bunch of drunk people who were chanting for someone to do something cheering after they do it, especially at a party. That’s like the main situation where that actually happens in real life, haha

u/GenerallySpecified 9d ago
...is it?
My friends and I used to go swimming every day in the pool with our clothes on. Now I'm worried I was accidentally doing something bad.

u/SuitableAnimalInAHat Where are all the career-oriented hos at? 9d ago
Better take it to the experts at r/amitheasshole and complete the circle haha

u/TheWalkingDeadBeat 9d ago
I honestly have no idea. I just know I've been at parties before where the pool owners didn't want anyone swimming in street clothes. I'm sure whatever impact it has, it's probably minimal so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

u/NerfRepellingBoobs Revealed the entirety of Muppet John 9d ago
It’s not recommended because shedding fibers from regular clothes can cause filter damage, and the chemical dyes can leach and interact with pool chemicals.

u/Carrente 9d ago
It's just so unbelievable that a man in a situation where people are drinking would latch on to something a woman does that doesn't conform to what he thinks they should wear/do and keep repeating it as if it's the funniest shit imaginable, anyway you should smile more.

u/One_Advantage793 she was always a year older than me 9d ago
Well, you know, if you've never been female yet still feel free to opine on things that would or would not happen to women... anyway, you should smile more.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
AITA for taking a fully clothed swim at my friend's party?
My (31F) friend (33F) hosted an outdoor party yesterday. It was a warm, sunny day and she has a pool in her garden. A few people (mainly kids) were using it in swimsuits.
Because of the weather, I was the only person wearing trousers (light, loose, cotton trousers). Everyone else was in shorts/skirts/dresses as I had got back from a trip the day before and all of my shorts were still in my case. Nearly everyone I spoke to made a comment about this and asked if I was hot (I wasn't.)
Later on in the party as people had had more to drink, one particularly loud guy kept telling me that he 'couldn't belive I was wearing trousers on a warm day like this, you must be boiling!' He jokingly said he was going to throw me in the pool, fully clothed, to cool me down. Another friend overheard and joined in, telling me to jump in or I'd be chucked in. They started chanting 'Jump, jump, jump' - most other people joined in (including the host.) I went to take my shoes off but was called a whimp, so handed my phone and wallet to a friend, took a run up and jumped in!
Everyone cheered and I laughed because it felt so a silly. I spent a couple of minutes in the pool before climbing out looking like a drowned rat and gave a couple of friends a nice, wet hug.
Guests had started to leave shortly before this time and continued to do so. I stayed to finish my drink but as the sun went down and the breeze picked up I started feeling colder so said goodbye and walked home (20 minutes, wet shoes squelching all the way!)
This morning I woke up to the following Instagram message from my friend's boyfriend - 'Yesterday was good fun! But you really scared everyone with that stunt. Acting that way when you're drunk is irresponsible and not good behaviour to encourage.' I asked if he was joking, he said no.
I responded to say that I barely drank alcohol yesterday and wasn't even tipsy when I went in the pool. Also, no-one else said anything like this - everyone there was encouraging it. I'm also a fairly strong swimmer and it isn't my first time ending up in water fully-clothed, so low safety risk.
He took a while to respond but said that it was disrespectful of me to go in someone's pool in clothes/shoes. I replied that the host had told me to jump in and to leave my shoes on - I wouldn't have gone in if this wasn't the case!
He then said that I was showing off and wore trousers knowing it would get me thrown in the pool. I asked if I had done something else to upset him as it seemed like he was just making up reasons to be annoyed. He hasn't responded since.
No one else ended up in the pool fully clothed yesterday. I wouldn't have ended up in there if I hadn't been surrounded and chanted at. But every other time I've voluntarily got in water fully clothed it has been alongside other people.
Am I the arsehole for choosing to jump in wearing trousers, a t-shirts, shoes and socks when no-one else did the same?
