When's the last time you mooned someone? Or got mooned?

[flibbitygiblets]

"mooning" friends or even strangers was such a quintessential mid-70's thing, often done in the rear window of a car as an alternative to "flipping the bird" as a response to some minor traffic faux-pas (or sometimes for no reason other than just to be funny). I haven't thought about it in decades.

But now we have one of those security doorbells that takes motion-sensor video, which goes straight to me & the spouse's cellphone. So, it's been game-on to see who can out-do each other..

1. I've never mooned anybody.

I don't want some smart-aleck saying: "Hey! Looks just like your face!"

2. Way back when I got married 27 years ago

We were in the local town park next to where the reception was held.
As we were waiting for the next shot My brother, best friend, and maid of honor.
mooned us. The photographer was shocked and I had to yell at him take the damn picture.

3. It was also a thing in the early 70's too.

It was 1972 and my friend was turning 20. We were at his birthday party when some other friends called & said they were on the way. Birthday boy said let's all go out front & moon them as they come around the corner. That's what he wanted from us for his birthday - so all 10 of us lined up and proceeded to moon them. They thought this was hysterical so stopped and pulled down their pants and stuck their asses out of the windows & mooned us. It was a great party.

6. It'll get you into the database of registered sex offenders, incidentally

There's a guy not far from where I live who is in the database for exactly this reason.

Indecent exposure is a sex crime. Moon someone, or take a whizz in an alley or park, and you are going to be marked for life.

10. Peeing in the park

Several years ago, I was golfing at a New York State park and one of the guys in our group walked off the fairway into the trees to relieve himself. Suddenly, a state trooper appeared out of nowhere and wrote him a citation for public urination!

None of us could believe it. I didn't know the man other than that day of golf and I've wondered how it turned out for him.

13. Lewd act, yep.

15. and yet "sagging" goes unpunished. It's a crime against fashion if not actually obscene.

I'm loathe to sound like Bill Cosby but how do they keep from tripping themselves?

7. Never mooned or been mooned (that I noticed). The 70's for me were kinda quiet. I was a housewife

I remember going to see Animal House and smelling a strange odor after somebody lit what I had thought was a cigarette.

8. Oh you poor little sheltered thing....you should get out more.

9. Recently, I was on a boat ride around NYC.

A guy on land waved at the boat as it passed by and then mooned it. He was pretty far away. It didn't get much of a reaction. I think that is the only time I have ever seen someone get mooned outside of a tv show or film.

11. Last night!

My Landlady(!) was annoyed with me and flashed her butt.

I love that lady!

[flibbitygiblets]

16. OMG that's hilarious.

[PJMcK]

18. She's really my fiance but we live in her apartment! (n/t)

[Iggo]

12. Yep, mid-70s. So I'd have to say the last time I did it was in high school.

As far as doorbell security photos/video goes, we just flip the bird. It's easier.

(Plus, we're not sure whose server those photos are stored on, so...yeah.)

14. I mooned myself this morning when I dropped my razor!

The mirror cracked!

17. Mid-70s

It was a 'pressed ham' against a dark-tinted window. I have been assured the effect was quite remarkable.
