We’re having a warm, sunny morning and I was thinking of just wearing my cotton-knit boxer shorts out on the patio wouldn’t really be so bad, would it?
The neighbors might see me, but it’s not like I’m showing anything my regular shorts wouldn’t show.
I remember years ago when I was in the Army eating in the cafeteria this friend of mine came in wearing his boxer shorts he’d tie-dyed. “Nice underwear” I said.
“Oh, thanks for pointing that out!” he responded.
“Hey, they’re underwear dude. You’re not fooling me.”
Should I be able to sit in my back yard in my boxer shorts? Not as a matter of law, but as a matter of etiquette.
Well, unless you sew the fly shut, you just might show something your regular shorts don’t show. Those things have a tendency to gap open when you sit down. Believe me, I’ve seen it. (Well, not your it, but you know what I mean.)
My personal opinion is that if you wouldn’t wear something to have breakfast with your inlaws when one of you is staying at the other’s house, you probably shouldn’t wear it out in the yard. For most people I know, that involves at least putting on some jammies, even if you would normally roam about the house in your skivvies or the altogether.
Eh, my boyfriend is always in front of the giant windows in his boxer shorts. I figure the neighbors shouldn’t be looking anyway. And let me tell you, he has some seriously disreputable underwear. Some of it doesn’t even perform the basic functions of underwear anymore and is more of a notional sort of thing, the holes are so big.
Eh, I’ve been known to take the trash out in boxers and a wifebeater, but I probably wouldn’t just *sit *out there like that. Like Magiver said, what’s so much more difficult or time-consuming (or even less comfortable) about pulling on some gym shorts or pajama bottoms?
I actually have worse floppage issues with knit boxers. The only way my junk remains firmly ensconced in its soft cotton housing is if I wear boxer-briefs (or briefs, presumably, though I haven’t worn those in about 18 years).
I did steal the ones that literally no longer had a back. At all. All that was left was the back SEAM, like the world’s most oversized thong. And he asked me, “I’m missing some underwear. Have you seen them?” “No, no idea. Haven’t seen 'em.”
