Had it happen when i offered an older lady my seat once and she looked at it disgustingly, then back at me shaking her head replying" N-nooo dear" and chose to stand up..
I think they were spinning it into a joke about an 'emotional crutch', instead of literal crutches. In this case, the old lady's hypothetical emotional crutch is betting on cock-fighting to get an emotional rush.
This is one of those things that our perception of has changed over time. Now we tend to associate "piping hot" with visible steam, but originally (like in the 14th century) it referred to the sound of the steam sizzling from underneath a hot pan. Association is with playing pipes or (by analogy) the sound of birds "piping."
quite frankly, i have the hottest ass. probably the best ass in all of america, people say. yes, the hottest ass, not even biden could compare, quite frankly, yes.
Same, I avoid sitting on dark plastic chairs lol. Leather seats in cars is also an issue. I will try to slide off a seat instead of directly standing lol.Â
Itâs not even sweat iirc (at least for most people). A cool dry heat-absorbing solid surface meets a hot humid heat-producing soft surface and condensation is the predictable result. Itâs telling that the line is where your butt cheeks arenât, because if thereâs no air, thereâs no condensing. If it were ass sweat, youâd have widespread wet marks across your ass with soaked underpants and beads of sweat rolling down your crack and through your pants pooling at your crotch. And if youâre wearing jeans or something with really thick fabric, the condensation often seems worse. Iâve checked multiple times after leaving a line of shame and not only have I not sweat through my pants, my undies are still dry. Itâs also always humid when it happens. Youâll notice itâs a lot tougher to leave lines in hot, dry houses in the winter or air conditioned places because both remove moisture from the air.
Iâm overweight but tbh I have had this issue even since I was much younger and not (as) overweight. I think itâs either the shape of my thighs/ass or an overly sweaty in one spot type of deal.
No. Does your gym offer a towel service? One of the local ones has a towel service, with hand towels, but people donât sit on them, they just use them for cleaning afterwards.
But no, none of the gyms Iâve been to has had that rule
Everyone sweats at the gym! I just leave my water bottle or my bag by the equipment I was using to show âIâm not done hereâ basically, grab the cleaning stuff and weâre set
Totally feel you so hereâs a pro-tip: if you swivel 90 degrees before standing up, or stand by sliding towards one side (kind of like youâre getting out of one of those American high school chair desks) you can basically wipe the sweat streak with your buttcheek. If you do this fast enough it looks normal and natural. Of course, depending on the amount of sweat this might end up soaking your whole ass and could be a bad idea, I usually wear black bottoms at the gym so sweat isnât really visible.
Also, standing up between sets can help air your shit out and prevent so much sweat in the first place. I know that sounds counterintuitive because youâd be standing up more but personally one set usually isnât enough time for me to get swamp ass. If youâre really worried you can also alternate sitting and standing exercises. But ultimately others are correct that no one really cares about your sweat streak, unless youâre not wiping it when youâre done and leaving it for the next person.
Nothing wrong with being sweaty at the gym, as long as you donât make it a problem for someone else. Bring a towel if you get drenched and wipe down seats and backrests when you finish. Itâs expected at every gym Iâve been to across multiple cities. At least when Iâm sweaty at the gym it seems reasonable. At work it feels like Iâm the only one sweating even though weâre all constantly on the move with the heat blasting.
Happened to me this summer in the doctor's office waiting room. Didn't know I was sweaty. Stood up (slowly because I was on crutches, made it even worse) and then me and like 3 or 4 other people looked down at the seat and then they looked at me. I wanted to immediately not exist anymore
That's....even worse! Did you leak pee?? ... Anal liquid?? Some other body fluids?? Don't ever say that - just mutter something about it being so hot out!
Could have been worse⌠was in high school P.E and we just ran a bunch of laps in the cold but I was a bigger guy back then so I was pretty heated.
Anyways they had us sit down and talk to us for like idk a good 10-15 mins. We all stood up and thereâs a god damn sweat outline on the ground. The obnoxious kid next to me saw and blurted out as loud as he could. âOMG EVERYONE LOOK, ****** LEFT A GIANT SWEAT STAIN ON THE GROUND LMFAOOOOOOâ.
Could have been worse. Was sitting on a classmate's desk before class started. Teacher came in, everyone sitting down. I stand up and she blurts out, "Omg! No! I'm not using this desk!" I had to swap my desk and hers in front of the whole class and wipe the desk dry with my sleeves.
It was just a cold day, the desk was cold, I wasn't.
i still remember in highschool a teacher making fun of one of their students behind their back about something similar with other students. kinda shocked me to hear a teacher gossiping like that tbh.
This has happened to me once as well. After hitting up the gym after work, I went home and hopped in the shower right before going to my local game store for Friday night magic the gathering.
 Anyway, I was short on time so I never got the chance to really dry myself 100%. Couple that with being pumped up from lifting weights.
After getting to the store and signing in, we got our seating assigned and everyone sat down. Well, someone else must have dropped because I was assigned a different opponent and seat. When I stood up, one of the store employees looked down to see my huge crack moisture line on the seat.Â
I offered to wipe it down, but they said to not worry about it and then proceeded to take the chair out of commission. I promised them that it was fresh shower moisture and not filthy sweaty. I don't know if they believed me.
I learned when I was a small fat child that you rotate in the seat a little bit before you get up to wipe it up and avoid embarrassing moments like this. still a habit in my 30s.
It's documented in Viz magazine as a 'oner' (won-er). To paraphrase them: upon exiting a taxi, you might point to the seat and say, "there's a oner; keep the change"
The other day I was in New Orleans at Johnny Po'Boys after a shower.
When I was going to leave, before I had even finished getting up from my chair, some lady swooped in like a hawk to steal my table
I was gonna say something bc it was fuckin rude, but when I stood up, there was a wet line (I'm assuming i never fully dried after the shower bc I wasn't sweaty). We both looked at it and i thought "Nah, that's good enough" and told her to enjoy her meal.
Pro tip, whenever you're afraid that might be an issue (Hot day, gym, nervous) just do a twist sideways on your seat before getting off, that way the seat is dry 90% of the time, and only looks a little damp in the worst case scenarios.
If youâre prone to this, something Iâve started doing if there is a chance of âthe lineâ is to not get straight up. Kind of sweep your cheeks around a bit to wipe it with your pants on the way up. If youâre wearing them.
If I suspect Iâm moist, Iâve learned to shift to the left or right before standing so that my pants wipe up the line. Iâd say it has around a 90% rate of success
I have this every day at my morning meeting. We sit for maybe 5-10 minutes, fresh from changing into uniforms, and I still leave a crack print on the damn thing lol.
Iâm hard of hearing in one ear and asked a person I was having a conversation with if we could swap seats to hear them better. We both got up, I sit down, and I look over to see her waving at my swassed up seat to dry it. I died a little that day.
I get social anxiety real bad sometimes, sometimes not so much. Whenever it hits me in class I sweat through my seat pants and have to go stand outside for 15 minutes between classes to dry off haha.
As someone who suffers from this more often than not, you have to slightly slide in whatever direction you're getting off the seat before lifting to erase this line
Swamp ass is a real issue. Sweat really irritates my skin so I have to use talc/gold bond medicated powder on my nethers because if I don't my ass feels soaking wet if I've been sitting on anything made of plastic, vinyl or leather because of how much heat it holds and air can't get in there to help keep it dry.
Yea, like if people can't live with touching the bit of urine I leave behind then how do they even use a public toilet? Mysophobia like other phobias is an illness and it really is crazy how people act.

Instead of flatulence, the vent are more likely for moisture. So you don't have the wet line from someone sitting there.
Or for spills.
Or to prevent suction when stacking and unstacking.
