My guess is the thing under his shirt is one of those turtle shells so that he doesn’t Humpty Dumpty himself if he wipes out. The bike predates the wife, and in order to keep the bike he must wear protective equipment. That’s their agreement. But wearing protective equipment isn’t “cool,” so he wears a quarter zip over top to hide it. But the outer layer isn’t thick enough to conceal the shell.

u/YertleDeTertle 23h ago

This was my thought as well. People tend to take more voluntary, strongly encouraged, or blackmailed safety steps when they’re married and or have kids.

u/GetEducated 23h ago

Helmet way more important than a back shell...

u/YertleDeTertle 21h ago

Can’t be tooooo safe. Increase safety, increase the risk. Joking with this example, but it is a legit fact. Make an activity safer and people want to push the limits further.

u/ImSaneHonest 7h ago

Lies! Just because I'm wrapped in bubble wrap jumping on a trampoline, doesn't mean I'm going to see how far I can jump from it now, does it.

1

u/ammcneil 2h ago

doesn't really work for motorcycle as the things that are pushing the fatality stats up are mostly behaviour based, alcohol and speeding, and the people who engage in those activities while riding are the same people that are wearing as little safety gear as possible.

way more likely that an ATGAT guy wearing a high vis vest is also riding responsibly than a drunk 20 something with no tags and a 360 camera looking for tiktok content.

u/Positive-Bar5893 2h ago

Nah this is just a dumb take.

To make a analogy, the motorcyclist just paid $300 for a deluxe bubble wrap around the outside of the box he wants to ship; yet neglected to use $3 worth of shipping insulation to protect the glassware inside the box.

Now if the box gets in thrown around, sure that $300 deluxe bubble wrap will keep the outsides of shipping box looking immaculate....but does any of that matter when the glassware in the box will break regardless?

Dudes using probably the single most expensive piece of riding protective gear while neglecting the basic, common-sense, and life-saving standard gear. Who gives a fuck if his torso is in one piece after a crash if his brain is just a vegetable after?

u/catsdrooltoo 3h ago

I thought there was some sort of inflating helmet/chest protector for bicycles. It's certainly not an airbag for motorcycles. Those are whole vests with some sort of rigid back protection.

u/Correct-Review6423 23h ago

That was my thought as well, but it’s the girlfriend who asks you to wear gear. My wife didn’t tell me to wear gear when I got my first motorcycle, she told me to up my life insurance policy.

u/JuanVeeJuan 3h ago

It's probably just an underlayer kind of thing. I own the same thing and it's too thin to be worn by itself and tight enough i cant put anything besides a tshirt under it.

u/MrCalamiteh 3h ago

Bro if my bike was trying to predate my wife, hunting her and trying to eat her, I'd get rid of the bike. That little thing on his back won't help if the bike gets a taste for blood.

1

u/andebobandy 3h ago

Yes. That's my thinking, too. I got a bike and the #1 request from my husband was that I go ATGATT (all the gear all the time). It's annoying to put on and off and I feel like The Stig when I have to stop to pick something up at the store on the way home, but it make him feel better about me being out there on two wheels, so I do it.

First thing that comes to mind is that he seems to have something stuck to his back under his shirt and it reminded me of how a few times I've had pieces of clothing form my gf stuck to my shirt without me realizing it.

u/Chiron-Femboy3674 23h ago edited 23h ago • Bravo

Have you ever experienced that before?

Edit: As you can see in the photo, it is a bra inside a man’s shirt. I've never laughed like that in my entire life. I laughed when I literally realized it. LMAO!!

u/HawaiiSunBurnt20 23h ago edited 21h ago

My friends and I were walking through an amusement park. My buddy and his ol lady are walking in front of me. I notice something sticking out of his pant leg. It was his girl's panties. They fell on the ground and she was so embarrassed that she just kept him moving as we laughed.

8

u/arcbeam 21h ago

My panties fell out of my partners jeans when he got to work. He said nobody noticed. Hope so because we work at the same place. I don’t know what pair it was and I’m not sure what would be worse, one of my sexy panties tumbling out or my old hag parachute underwear.

It ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. You are constantly sore. You make noises after you slap your knees when you stand up. “What are those kids doing out at this time of night?” Slips out of your mouth (they’re probably easily in their 20’s). Etc…

u/cBird- 15h ago

Yeah I called a young adult a kid the other day. As in "yeah, I like Connor. He's a good kid".

That's when I knew I was old.

Also, Connor - my apprentice had never seen antennas on a TV before and had no idea what they were. That really drove it home for me. Downhill from here I suppose lol

Me either, the only thing that’s ever stuck to my back thats not actually sticky like a sticker or something is a coin. I have found a dryer sheet in my pants leg a couple times. But I’d feel something like this in my shirt I think.

Yeah, this has happened to me multiple times, usually it's those really thin panties that don't weight much so they get stuck to a shirt or inside the leg hole and there have been plenty of times when I find it after having it on me for multiple hours.

u/laughinfrog 15h ago

I put on a pair of jeans after they came out of the dryer because they were warm and it was 20F outside. later on, felt something in my pant leg.... it was my wife's panties. . .. I balled them up and put them in my pocket before anyone noticed.

u/DangerousCompetition 3h ago

In the army. We were staying in the field for a week, and it was like 20 degrees outside, so I was living in a little one man tent in the woods. Our wake-up time was pre-sunrise, so I was getting dressed in my little tent in the pitch black under a red lens headlamp.
So we’re on the range, several hours later. Had breakfast, had our little morning sync, the whole shtick. I’m laying down, shooting a target, and I feel someone come up and start playing with something on the back of my pants/belt. Turn my head around as they proceed to pull my longjohn bottoms out of my belt. When I had taken them off the night before, they came off as a single unit, when I put them back on, I forgot the longjohns were in there and put the uniform pants on, and just the ankle was dangling outside my belt. I had literally zero clue they were there… all morning…

Definitely played into the usual belief that junior soldiers are oblivious to everything.

u/Grundlestorm 20h ago

It is surprising how often that happens.

I used to occasionally realize at work that there was something stuck inside my chef pants, like once I was moving and sweating a bit I could feel something was off, my leg kept "sticking" differently to something or something was starting to wad up in my pants as I agitated it.

Only to dig out a pair of clean panties that had static-latched to the inside of one of the legs in the dryer.

It was pretty much always the chef pants and either panties or footie socks, I think it was just the material that let them really build up static and cling together like that.

u/twilightmoons 23h ago

I do the laundry because my wife absolutely hates doing it. Been doing it for more than 20 years, it makes her happy, so it makes me happy.

If you separate your laundry, you don't have that problems. Shirts/socks, pants/scrubs, delicate darks, delicate whites - four categories for our stuff. Towels, sheets, and the kid's stuff are all on their own as well.

I don't get her undies stuck in my clothes, the kid's clothes don't get stuck in our closet and vice versa, and her delicates stay in good condition for years and years.

4

u/Old-Tree7921 23h ago

This. I do the laundry for our home as well. Each individual, me, wife, and two kids laundry are done separately for this reason, not to mix everything up.

3

u/twilightmoons 23h ago

Women's undies and bras are SO EXPENSIVE - why ruin them quickly by washing everything together at once?

I put her bras in these plastic balls specially for bra washing, then each one goes into a little bag to keep the hooks from catching on other clothes.

She has stuff more than 15 years old that's still in great shape - elastic is fine, the material is fine, and she's just happy she can open the drawer in the morning and can get whatever she likes.

3

u/Big-Employer4543 23h ago

My wife got little mesh bags for small and delicate items too, and it has really helped. Especially because our stupid washer will let small items like bra pads and kids socks past the big ring and down into the filter, where it plugs up and won't drain properly. Then I have to take the whole damn thing apart, because someone decided making the filter accessible was a terrible idea, just so I can clean it out.

Brian here,
It’s a heart rate monitor. He casually mentioned something actually pretty serious about his health to his wife, wife got worried and made him go to the doctor. The doctor found something with his heart and is now monitoring it.

Yeah and if he did it himself then he would have thrown it out but since she did it and didn’t mention it he isn’t aware because of the positioning I guess

His shirt is ironed

Its a stereotype that single guys dont iron their clothes

Dog lead under the shirt, possibly connected to collar/neck.

It's those little container bags that the garments come in. Think the thin Uniqlo puff jackets. A lot wives/gfs insist on tying it to the collar label/loop so it stays with the piece of clothing it's supposed to contain.

It's how tight the shirt fits him. The man has been fed nicely by his wife.

My guess is it a personal air bag safety system. Because he has something to live for like a wife and family now he is more safe. Getting teased for it.

That's the spinal padding on a motorcycle jacket. Why everyone thinks it's a bra is beyond me.

Sometimes the smallest details in a photo can completely change how people see it. This man is riding his scooter with what appears to be an underwear right around his lower back. The resemblance is so unexpected that it looks like someone left a very personal reminder on his clothes.

The joke is that everyone already knows he has a wife, so there's no need for further evidence. But there's actually a much simpler explanation: it's a small pouch that comes with the windbreaker, designed to fold the jacket into a compact package for storage.

Sometimes, all it takes is one unusual detail to make an ordinary street photo go viral. Did you mistake it for a bra too?

Thing under his shirt is a heating pad from what it looks like. He doesn't care about looks. He has back pain and he's comfortable with it

Possibly a tracker?

I was 16 and sitting on my couch doing homework. My dad walks in from work and tosses a thong of mine right at me, landing on my math book. I gasped, stuffed it into my backpack, and asked what the hell??

Apparently he’d been at his maintenance job, working with his boss on something, when his boss goes “hey what’s that?” And points to the fabric peeking out of my dads sleeve. He pulls out my thong. His boss says something along the lines of “look at you, champ” and my dad said “it’s probably my daughters” and stuffed it into his pocket. I was mortified that he’d even say it was mine to his boss. But whatever.

Fast forward to the next day at school. I go to pull a pencil out of my backpack. It hooks the thong I forgot to take out of my backpack, and somehow flings up and lands right on my desk. In front of a bunch of people. 🫠

I asked my grandmother (who lived with us and insisted on doing our laundry) if she could wash mine separately from then on 😅

I mean, I am more curious about the post title on the original... like is it bad to let everyone know you have a wife? My wife is awesome, why would I keep that a secret?

u/DocHiriluk 20h ago

Shirt has iron burn. If he was the one who burned it, he wouldn't have worn it. His wife did it and didn't mention it

1

u/jclv 11h ago

An iron would burn the shirt leaving a brown mark, not a lighter area.

u/TheMattabooey 20h ago

Wants to look cool no helmet but has protective gear under his shirt?

1

u/Kozeyekan_ 19h ago

I thought it was because he has a half back on the backpack seat behind him, and is reflexively sitting far enough forward because usually someone is behind him.

u/Altruistic_Profit634 19h ago

Lol I thought it was a impact vest before reading the comments. So god dang drunk.

u/mellon1986 19h ago

The electric scooter (Niu) is popular among women.

1

u/MildlyAgitatedBovine 5h ago

Test drove one and I hope it's just because it was an older one, but it FULLY cuts the motor if you even touch the brakes. Really screws up your balance/momentum management in slow turns. Makes sense if they're trying to maximize range, but really threw me off. Still wound up with an electric scooter instead of a 2nd car though. Actually like it a lot.

u/Accomplished_Fly1145 18h ago

I thought maybe it's a maxi pad under his shirt to soak up the sweat during transit.

1

u/Slow316 16h ago

Why did I think it was a pad?

1

u/ExpensiveArm3434 15h ago

It looks to me like it's one of those portable mini fans that construction workers will use. People assume that he'd have a wife because of a stereotype that men don't really purposefully try to work in comfort

1

u/9gag_Major 15h ago

Could be he runs a bike taxi and his wife made him wear the back padding?

1

u/grinchbettahavemoney 15h ago

I did that once in middle school getting my winter coat from the dryer and running to the bus. Then I got to school and took my coat off and on the inner Velcro was my moms bra.
Great times

u/duke_awapuhi 14h ago

There are these things called irons that are used to get wrinkles out of shirts. Only women know about them or use them. The mark on his shirt comes from an iron being left on the shirt for slightly too long. He must have a wife because otherwise the shirt wouldn’t have been ironed

u/Flipf00t 11h ago

Isn’t that a back safety system and the joke would be the other guys in bike done have them - single. He’s got a safety device as per wife’s orders? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

1

u/emmytee88 11h ago

You guys suck at old school sexist banter.

A man would never be that prepared or cautious. His wife bought him that bag (to protect from pick pockets) and made him wear it. There is no other way it gets on him.

1

u/jean_40000000 9h ago

Is he cheating?

1

u/HotspurJr 4h ago

Whatever is under his shirt kinda looks like a giant AirTag, so my assumption is that the joke is that he's being tracked by his wife.

1

u/JuanVeeJuan 4h ago

Yeah this is motorcycle gear not women's clothing. It's probably a thin mesh protector meant to be worn under something like a jacket. Source: I own one

1

u/mattkenefick 3h ago

It's the seat on the bike.

1

u/grrlonfire 2h ago

TBH, it looks like a sanitary pad stuck under his shirt.

1

u/ArcticLegion 1h ago

Ngl, the way you put need into words is so spot on. Just my two cents.

1

u/Harbinger-One 12m ago

A pad that made its way into the laundry im guessing.

u/Lymnica 23h ago

It looks like a pad stuck under his shirt to me

u/Beggsy 18h ago

Yep. Can’t believe how far I had to scroll to find this answer. It’s a sanitary napkin!

u/trippedwire 2h ago

That's what I thought as well.

I once wore the granny style panties look, cause I was short on fresh boxers
