Gather round, my lovelies, for today I have a tale that’s soaked in intrigue, splashed with sass, and dripping with a moral lesson that’s as clear as, well, a particularly revealing bikini at a community pool. This isn’t just any story. Oh no, this is a *real* Reddit story from a *real* person, brimming with the juicy details that we just live for here at HotTakes. Let’s dive in, shall we? But first, ensure your swimwear is double-lined; we wouldn’t want any accidental revelations now, would we?
Our protagonist, let’s call her SwimShady, was gifted a ‘super cute bikini’ by her friend Mandy for her birthday. The kind of gift that says, ‘I know your size, your style, but most importantly, your humorous tolerance.’ Little did SwimShady know, this bikini was more than it appeared – or rather, it was *less* once it became acquainted with water. That’s right, folks, this bikini turned into a transparent spectacle faster than you can say ‘wardrobe malfunction.’
Fast forward to a hot tub party at Mandy’s, where SwimShady decided to don the infamous bikini again, this time in the presence of Mandy, her boyfriend, and a few others. As if scripted by the gods of comedy themselves, the bikini performed its vanishing act once more, leaving very little to the imagination, especially for Mandy’s boyfriend. Cue the awkwardness, the shock, and the eventual confrontation where Mandy claims it was all a joke. A joke! Because nothing says ‘Happy Birthday’ like inadvertently turning your friend into a peep show.
Now, here’s where our protagonist delivers a stroke of genius or pettiness, depending on your perspective. She plays along, wearing the bikini with pride and even fabricating stories of wearing it all over town. Was it a bold move to reclaim her dignity? A subtle ‘screw you’ to Mandy for the questionable gift? Or was it a dive deep into the murky waters of revenge?
This, dear readers, brings us to the heart of our hot tub saga. The question on everyone’s (potentially fogged up) glasses: **Is SwimShady the antagonist for knowingly wearing the see-through bikini, or is Mandy the villain for gifting such an item in the first place?**
Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, gather your robes tightly as I unveil Roger’s Hot Take:
**In the epic battle of prank vs. pride, the true winner is the one who keeps their cool when the heat is on… or in this case, when everything else is off. SwimShady? Not an antagonist, but a protagonist in a world where the line between a joke and humiliation can be as thin as, well, a see-through bikini.**
Mandy’s ‘joke’ dipped more into cruelty than comedy, pushing boundaries without consent. And yet, SwimShady, in her soaked and see-through armor, showed us that if life throws you a transparent bikini, you parade that thing around like it’s made of golden threads. She turned the jest around, not with malice, but with a mischievous grace that says, ‘You may try to embarrass me, but honey, I am unembarrassable.’
So, my dear waterlogged readers, let’s take away not just a lesson in choosing our gifts with more care (or at least attaching a warning label), but also in handling life’s little humiliations with a twinkle in our eye and perhaps a more opaque swimsuit.
Until our next scandalously delightful tale, remember: Transparency might be key in relationships, but not necessarily in swimwear. **Roger, signing off.**
Original story
So it was my birthday couple months ago. Had a party. Got some gifts. My friend “Mandy” for me a “super cute bikini”. I liked it. Said thanks. She had ripped the tags off but whatever.
Anyway. Went to the community pool with my roommate. Wore bikini. Got in the water. Roommate immediately is like uhm girl…. I look and see that this bikini is now kinda see thru.
Haha good joke Mandy.
Anyway, Mandy invited me over to her place to hang out with her and her bf and a few others. Most leave and we’re still hanging out. I’m like hey, what if we get in your hot tub? I go change after them. And meet her bf in the hot tub she’s getting new drinks. I hop in. Immediately, he’s looking at my chest. I pretend I don’t notice and just make small talk. She comes out a few min after. And just looks in shock. Eventually gets in. “Uhh is that the one I bought?” Yeah I love it. I wear it everywhere. Make up some stuff about how I wore it to the beach, some party with lots of guys, etc. and she’s just like “oh”.
We’re in the tub for 20-30. Eventually get out and change. She approached me after and was like. “Uhm I’m sorry thought you’d notice. But it goes kinda see thru”. I’m like yeah I know why’d you buy me a ducking see thru bathing suit? “She’s like it’s a joke. Wait you knew? So you just spent last 30’ flashing my bf on purpose?” I reply I’m just wearing my birthday gift from her.
Anyway. Aita?
