Try as I might, I just can’t get a handle on the point of No Pants Day. But thanks to this collection of photos from TotallyCoolPix.com, and my powers of deduction, I have come up with nine potential reasons to participate.
1. Give old men something to look at.
“Honey, can you get out of my way, I’m trying to get a picture of this girl’s butt.”
2. Get attention while acting like you are oblivious to the attention, when really you are loving the attention.
“Tra-la-la. Just another day at the office. Let me just make some notes, check the time, have I forgotten anything? Nope, all good here.”
3. Get a whole row of seats to yourself on the subway.
4. Make people that much more uncomfortable when packed ass-to-groin in a train car.
“Scoot on back, lady, there’s plenty of room over here!”
5. Reinforce the disdain people have for millennials.
You just know this lady is shaking her head thinking, “This bitch.”
6. Get blatantly, unabashedly, point-blank, downright, straight-up ogled.
7. Have an image of your ass captured and stored for all eternity by countless strangers.
“I will sleep soundly tonight knowing all these men have a picture of me in my underwear.”
8. Scar a child for life.
“Oh the humanity!”
9. Show off the goods to attract potential mates.
She is not impressed.
But she is.
Is Everyone an Idiot but Me? 
I am going to feel lonely on this one, but I actually found it funny š seriously, it takes some guts to break the conformism, especially when it looks so cold. Look at those people’s face, isnt it hilarious? Btw, what I loved most were your precious comments!
No Filter Day should definitely coincide with No Pants Day. That’d be much more entertaining. I really hope that the people that chose to participate in this ridiculousness did it for charity or a fundraising event, otherwise it’s just an embarrassing cry for attention…which is not uncommon in our society.
That is a great idea! If I ever kick off No Filter Day I will keep that suggestion in mind
I don’t know if it’s the same, but I once stumbled upon a group called “Improv Everywhere” or something like that… and they basically set about shocking people in weird situations and capturing it on camera. Think flash mobs, with a little more creativity added in.
I think that might be related to how it started actually!
It looks so cold, not sure how they deal with that. A bit of a pointless event to me, but I don’t live in a huge city or use public transportation. Maybe I’m missing something.
Exactly. It combines so many things I don’t like – being cold, being around people, getting stared at…it’s hard to see the appeal
Reblogged this on ajaivgeorge1996 and commented:
Why not in India? š¦
I just heard about this?? What the frick?!?!
I don’t get it either!
I live here in Manhattan and thankfully I was down in Atlantic City that day. It’s pretty dumb and pointless to me. Seen it all before. Personally, most of these people should put their clothes on as they really should never show off what they have anyway!
Yeah I’m glad I wasn’t riding metro that day, my head would have exploded

Hey, if they wanna walk around with their junk in full view… have at it. More power to ’em. Mathair and I, on the other hand, do not have the balls to pull that off… figuratively and quite literally. I think there’s a point where the line of public indecency is crossed. I was raised around old school southern men, who would’ve probably cold-cocked a guy for walking in front of their women without any pants on, but I realize we live in a dysfunctional society and as long as their not rubbing up against me, I really don’t care. Let them freeze their asses off and garner all the attention their unfulfilled hearts desire.
Haha well said, though I would love to see that old school southern male reaction
Love this blog. I don’t even like taking my pants off in front of myself.
Haha same, I definitely admire their ballsiness, just don’t get what it serves
Me either. There are photos of some very…..confident people.
Your commentary was HYSTERICAL!!!!
All I know is that I would be carrying a tub of Lysol wipes around with me on No Pants Day.
So true, I already have a don’t touch anything on the metro policy but now I can’t even sit down without wondering who’s bare ass was there
Hahaha! Ewwwwww!!!!!
I love this. There would be no hiding your “short comings” that is for sure. But also notice that is all people that wouldn’t giggle to save their life who actually followed through with the “movement”? I never saw one picture of anyone who had additional weight to them, but I digress.
I love the shot that you found for “scar a child for life”. That is soo sooo sooooooo true.
Poor kids, imagine you are just as tall as someone’s hip level and they aren’t wearing pants! Awkward
Very awkward.
To quote what would appear on my tombstone if I wasn’t planning on cremation:
WHO DOES THIS??!
“3. Get a whole row of seats to yourself on the subway.”—For me, this is almost enough of a reason to go pantsless. Almost.
Haha agreed, much like a Klondike bar, there is not a whole lot I wouldn’t do for that
So this is just something stupid people organized? Like senior skip day? No statement to be made? Just doing it because?
I think so. If that’s all it takes I’m going to start No Filter Day where I stop biting my tongue all day and tell people what I really think
Ohhhhhhhhh…… I want in!!
Is there supposed to be a point to this? I’ve never heard of this before. Looks like a silly way to make your private parts freeze…
I have no idea what the point is, I wish I did
Or then again. Maybe ignorance actually is bliss in this matter.
We really need people to start embracing this in the UK I feel. Though we’d need to call it ‘No things that go over your pants day’… Otherwise things could get very weird.
Haha good point, that would be way more awkward
This is what happens when you live in national parks. Or outside the country for two months. Is this a new “thing”? Never heard of it. And now I am scarred. Thanks.
Haha I do what I can
Dear Most People,
You are fucking stupid.
Love,
Don
Haha well said. That would make a great tattoo
Best. Letter. Ever.
What The Hell, when did someone decide this was going to be a thing? Take me away now, I give up. They have won……
Haha pretty much!
You know, I’d have more respect for this if they were raising awareness about something. Anything. I mean, this could totally be social commentary. But alas, it is not.
Exactly. They are raising awareness of their underwear that’s about it
At least in the photos you showed us, they are wearing underwear. *cringing at the thought*
Yikes, well walking around nude crosses the line into indecent exposure thankfully
THANKFULLY!
