Look, we're all shvitzing right now, but it's still not socially acceptable to just take off all your clothes and rollick around the subway naked...although that's kind of what one young lady did last night. A reader tell us that a woman de-pantsed three times last night on the D train, pulling up her pants every time she thought security might be coming—as one woman said to her, "yeah, that's really smart young lady." The reader caught her the third time on video, which you can see below (NSFW: butt shot). The best part though? The young man who walks on the train and obliviously sits down, sees her, then promptly walks away. Ahh, this is what summer fridays were made for:
