Today was the annual No Pants subway ride. In New York and around the world many brave souls willingly dropped their pants on the subway to the alarming glares of bundled up passengers.
New York is yet to recover from the "Bomb Cyclone" which saw temps plunge to -35C but this didn't halt the 17 year tradition of riding the subway without pants.
In a 19 degree (-7C) temperature, New Yorkers met at different locations throughout the city. They got on the train and started taking off their pants one by one. No pants day was observed in other countries around the world.
How would you like to be the one sitting in the seat last occupied by one of these pantless persons?

@Freelanzer So the whole idea behind is to grab attention?

Yes but then it won't be as attention grabbing as in the cold.
