So it’s like this. Straight indian men have this horrific habit that troubles me so. Is it just straight men? Or are the gay ones infected by it too?
It’s late enough in the morning and you need to start the day. Naturally, you’d start it off with a bath and get all nice and clean. Unfortunate as it is, the establishment you’re in does not offer you an attached toilet with your room, and instead offers a large common toilet at the end of the corridor. So you carry your bath-related belongings and strut off towards it. What would one conventionally carry? Soap/Shower-gel, shampoo, towel, a top, underwear etc… right?
But my esteemed temporary room-mate, who was once a room-mate for many months 2 years ago, does not consider a top a necessity, which is alright by me. I can make my peace with it. But to not carry underwear??
No, he does not walk back showing off his “pride”. He carries a pair of boxers. “Well, that’s underwear, isn’t it?” I hear you asking.
Not for him. So he returns to the room, wraps the towel around his waist, wiggles the boxer off, puts on fresh underwear, and is full of glee.
WHY OH WHY? WHY can he not just CARRY the bloody underwear to the bath, HANG it on the lovely hooks that they’ve provided, WEAR it when he’s done and NOT change out of one and into another 5 steps away from me?
It’s a revolting habit! What if the towel fell of? What would I be subjected to then? Has he ever been considerate enough to consider it? Why can’t he just wear it inside the bathroom itself? It IS andar-wear after all!
He’s not the only one, unfortunately. My present room-mate does quite the same. With the exception that my current room-mate is far more appealing to look at (No, I have no sort of attraction to him) and I wouldn’t be grossed out if I glanced at his Jerry Wong.
Hey You! Yes YOU, reading this! Do YOU do the same? If yes, WHY?
I know I’m pathetic with all my biases and hypocrisies. But this is MY space, and I’m allowed to be. So there!
LOL! Straighties are usually so skillful in changing underwear with their towels on. I have never seen that thing fallen off!
Straighties are least bothered when they are changing dress around other guys while we are way too shy for the same. Now imagine the situation in the West where the guys would be changing in locker rooms in all their naked glory! So ours is a much “safer” place.
And to answer your question, I always carry my underwear on my way for the bath.
I’m proud of you, Sam!
oh Lord!
Thank God I never entered anything which required me having a room-mate or having to face the calamity of having to witness the un-graciousnesses of an unattractive Jerry Wong.
Seriously, there is something very wrong with straight people.
We all have our biases and hypocrisies. That’s what makes us special.
…
hehe…. No comments pls!!
Don’t you think its too hot in India to be wearing an andarwear? ha ha ha…i try to go Commando as much as I can.

Hullo there! You tread this way for the first time, yes?
