Sorry, 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't like wearing panties, all right, Dear Stephen Shirley. 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: I truly embarrassed myself and I want to pack up 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: and move out of town. I live alone in a 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: quaint little area of town, and I am the only 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: black resident on the street. My neighbors and I sit 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: on our front porches in the evening and laugh and 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: talk to each other to pass the time. The other 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: evening is I was sitting on my porch, I noticed 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: that my azaleas were blooming, so I decided to pull 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: the weeds and put out some plant food for them. 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: My next your neighbors were out, so was a couple 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: across the street, and a few more of my neighbors. 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: The children were either playing in their yards or riding bikes. 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: Since the quarantine, I've gotten used to wearing house dresses 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: around the house, and I usually do not wear anything 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: under them. I live alone, so I prefer not to 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: wear any underwear when I'm at home. This particular day, 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: I chose to wear one of my shorter dresses, and 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: without thinking, I decided to fool around with my azaleas. 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: As I was bending over in the yard to pull 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: out weeds and clean around the blooms. It didn't phaze 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: me that I didn't have on any panties. When it 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: got dark, I stopped working. I told everyone good night, 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: and I went inside. Later on, I checked my cell 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: phone and I had a group text message. My neighbors 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: texted me three pictures of my bare naked behind up 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: in the air. One of my neighbors was mad because 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: her child was outside, and she texted me a lecture 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: on being mindful of the families that are in the 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: area and how minudity had affected her child. I told 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: her that I didn't do it on purpose. The other 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: neighbors just laughed and told me to be more careful. 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: I am sure the neighbors and their children will laugh 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: about this forever. I'm renting this house. I'm renting this house. 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: So should I move? Should I just move? All right? 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Is anyone buying this? As anyone buying this? I'm just 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm not buying I'm not into this. I'm not buying this. 46 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, what woman do you know puts on a 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: short dress. I don't care if it is a house dress. 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: Bend's over with no panties on and forgets that her 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: naked behind. I don't know. I mean, what, who's a draft? Yeah, 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: but you gotta feel a draft. You gotta know that 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: your butt is out. Every woman knows this, especially if 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: she's in touch with her body. Stuff like this doesn't 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: happen in real life. I just don't believe this. I mean, 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure this happened, but you're you're that out of 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: it that you don't know your butt is out. I 56 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: just I don't get it. I mean, you sound like 57 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: a nice lady. Who is that blowing like there's a breeze? Okay, crazy? 58 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean you sound like a nice lady. Like I said, 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: you sound like a good person. Your letter was nice. Um, 60 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, you sound like a good neighbor and everything, 61 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: But come on, I mean, I don't understand as a 62 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: woman how you don't know when you're out commando. I 63 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: just don't get, especially bending over. I don't know any 64 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: woman who wouldn't know this. I'm just shocked at this letter. 65 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: And if they did, it would be on purpose. If 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: a woman went outside with no panties on and bent over, 67 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: and that's an entirely different kind of woman. I don't 68 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: think you're that. So, you know, I get why neighbors 69 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: were upset and group texted you. I'm sure it looked crazy, 70 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: especially in front of the kids. So I would apologize 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: to my neighbors again, tell them you didn't mean it. Again. 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: I wouldn't leave my home or anything. You know, this 73 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: whole thing is gonna go away, especially if you don't 74 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: do it again. But I mean, I just would make 75 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: sure when I went out to check my garden on 76 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: my azaleas that I wouldn't go commando. If you're that 77 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: out of it and don't remember, it just sounds odd. 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: I'm just not buying that she didn't remember that. Steve, Well, 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: this is a hard letter because I can't relate to this. 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: Oh okay, my ass has never been out. Now, if 81 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: it was, you would know it, right. It just has 82 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: never been out out.
