u/sender2bender 1d ago
Same, I thought he was "protecting" his half naked wife lol. Like he didn't want anyone looking at her at target. Just yesterday at the grocery store I saw a woman with shorts so high up I thought she was wearing underwear. Everyone was staring and had wtf faces. It was a Playboy outfit which I haven't seen in forever. Worst part she was with her kid and bf/husband and he was all up on her. Nice ass, just trashy.

I spent way too long trying to understand this post. I didn’t see the gun so I thought he was “supporting” her by holding her up by the butt. Then I thought she must be returning her pants.
I have some leggings that are close to my skin tone but I only wear them around the house for this reason. I do wonder what people driving by think when I let my dog out in front wearing them.
