Do you tuck your shirt or blouse in with your pants already buttoned? Or do you put your pants on, then tuck, then button? ---

It was pretty good perse, I did something totally original and went to the lake, drank some beer, got my ass sunburned. BTW I wouldn’t mind seeing you tuck sometime. ---

Persephone proves yet again she’s a girl. I do the same thing. Although I try to avoid wearing anything that makes me worry about having unsightly butt bulges. ---

Thongs leave sexy lines from the behind… and if it’s a windy day, like we’ve been having here lots… _ahem_… 😉 Let’s see… shirt, pants… tuck… zip. If I feel like tucking. I might have a headache and not wanna tuck at all. 😃 ---

It’s been so long since I tucked a blouse in, I wouldn’t know where to begin. For some of us, butt bulge was just the beginning . . . ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by aha \* > \*\*got my ass sunburned. > > \*\* I’m just wondering why someone who got his _ass_ sunburned is concerned about pants. If he’d been wearing any, regardless of the shirt-tucking-process, that would have never happened! ---

No more shirt tucking for me. I spent seven years in parochial schools where you **had** to have your shirt tucked into your skirt or pants. I wore a skirt all of the time and by my senior year of high school I thought I would go shirt-tucking insane. Oh yeah; and if you didn’t have your shirt tucked in and you recieved several warnings about it then you would get detention.:rolleyes: Of course I was a good little girl and always did what I was told. The others were just stupid. Don’t get me started on other parts of the dress code. Oh, the slap-happy days of no shirt tucking. ::dancing around in insane joyousness:: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ricepad \* > \*\*Butt tube?? WTF? \*\* Seconded. I’m getting visions of the London Central Line filled with hinies. And to answer aha: boxers, t-shirt, socks, pants (leave open for now), shoes, tie laces (SO AS NOT TO WRINKLE FRESHLY IRONED DRESS SHIRT!), shirt on, button shirt, tuck shirt in, button and zip pants (check ass for bulges), necktie, jacket, off to work. ---

Another non-tucker here - partly because of bulges, partly because my torso is relatively short so I wind up looking like my pants are up to my pits. Since my shirts are more colorful than mere jeans, I like to let 'em show all the way down… ---

The ass-bulge worry is indeed without gender, BTW. Every morning for 15 years, I’ve gotten up, ironed my husband’s uniform, made his coffee and tucked the back of his shirt down snugly to avoid the ass-bulge. Possibly he just likes an excuse to get my hand down his pants in the morning. ---

Ok just to answer the sunburned ass question here is briefly how it happaned. I was humping a super model around noon on the deck of my yacht…no really… Silly Rabbit > [@](#): > > If I feel like tucking. I might have a headache and not wanna tuck at all. Silly Rabbit… ---

What’s up with you people ?? _Everyone_ knows the sexy way to dress is Shirt \> underpants \> tuck in \> _then_ trousers / shorts. BTW, hope y’all are keeping your underpants and socks in the fridge now summer has arrived. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so/66937.md?page=2)
