The Bau-Thai experience

I still have not been able to find out what is the accurate English term to refer such phenomena. If you do, please enlighten me…

Anyway, “bau-thai” refers to the situation where the back of your pants burst open mostly due to your pants having grown too old or your ass grown too big. Under these circumstances, the middle of your ass will be taking on great pressure when you engage a squatting position and suddenly… “piak!”… “bau-thai” can happen.

I remember it was within the 2nd year of my working life when I had one helluva bau-thai experience. Since it was only my 2nd year of working life, I guess the pants were not that old so I can only conclude that my ass has grown too big then. See what damage 1-year of work can do to you… sigh…

My desk was swamped with stuff and so I placed a really huge file on the floor and went on that dangerous squat position. That’s when it happened… “piaaaaaak!”. Oh yeah, it was a very big one. The damage was so big that I felt the chill of the air-condition on ass almost immediately.

In a flash, I ran to the toilet to assess the damage. It was bad… very bad… it was a full “bau-thai”. It stretched from just below the belt-line right to the bottom, where the sewing met the front piece. Like I said, it was a full “bau-thai”.

It was still very early in the morning. So I had no choice but to get home and change into a new pair of pants lest I want to parade my under-wear clad ass for my colleagues to see. But I had a big problem. My car was parked in the opposite building. This is the reason why I remember that this incident happened on my 2nd year of working life.

Anyway; like I said, I had no choice. But before I embark on the journey to my car, I managed to somewhat secured the pants by stapling them together. Thereafter, I subtly sneaked into the lift lobby, took the lift down, walk to the front of the building with my back against the wall. I needed to look for the right timing to dash across the road without having to stop in the middle.

Alas, the chance came and like a flash, I dashed across the road and immediately ran towards the staircase which led to my parking level. By the way, the path covered Starbucks and a mamak store so there was no chance for me to take a breather.

Finally, I reached my car and I let out a deep sigh of relief. A little drained from my brief sprint, I immediately dropped my ass to my seat as soon as I opened the door. That’s then the climax hit me…

Unknown to me, the staples which briefly secured my pants were loosen during my sprint and since I dropped my ass hard on my seat…………………let’s just not go there…

Have you had any bad bau-thai experience before?
Though such scenarios are common to guys, perhaps some girls have their own version of bau-thai too? Or boobs grown too big leading to bau-button situation…?

Crankster said...

Oh dear. I once managed to rip my skirt zip (at the back) when I was 12. Highly embarrassing experience, so I feel for you. These are truly moments you can't forget. :)

I remember once in the early stages of my working life... the threading of the button on the front of my blouse was loose and the button popped off... and the button was exactly at the bust area... I had to frantically hold the blouse with one hand, walk to KLCC and buy myself a new t-shirt just to get home... hahaha.

This is funny. Haha! I do not have 'touch-wood' any bau-tai situation but I do have very embarassing moments... the lady type. I guess its as bad as bau tai.

Lesson learnt from bau-tai stories ... wear a nice panty. Haha!

Fi-sha said...

Dear Zewt, i just had bau-button moment on friday. had my kebaya pendek on and forgot to done my brooch - to further secure the buttons. i was asking question during a division briefing and suddenly 2 of the buttons popped open, showing my tummy. Yikes! thank god for the handouts that i used to cover my bare flesh and attempted to snap back the buttons. throughout the day, this bau-button moments haunted me that i stapled in between the buttons. That was the worst day in my working life and on top of that i was to meet my schoolmates after office. Shish...i vowed not to wear that kebaya again.

Huei said...

at first i thought Bau-Thai was Kuching's Bau town and Thailand.

-

unfortunately, i have no bau thai experience before. nor are my boobs too big to have one. hah.

and no i never had staplers piercing into my ass.

but during a trip to kl and sg, i fell 3 times there.
and when i say fell, i meant face flat on the floor and hurt my foot and i walked like a crippled person for the whole time.

3. bloody. times. (!)

oh thanks for dropping by :)

sooky said...

LOL!... Today's my first day back at work after CNY (unwillingly) and this post certainly helped brighten up my day! :)

Kathryne said...

U certainly had me laughing out loud like a mad woman in front of my pc! What an experience huh? Guess the 'staple' incident was more excruciating than the embarrasment of ur 'koyak seluar' experience!
I once had a 'bau button' experience on my dress...and it was right in the centre of the dress and a cm away above my panty! It was embarrasing enough cos I was at a fullmoon party! Guess this kinda experience just make our lives more interesting heh?

Anonymous said...

I haven't had this experience before. And I hope it won't happen in the future. It is such an embarassing thing to happen, I have to say...

missironic said...

Hahahaha..couldn't stop laughing when reading it. It's so hilarious! I do have such "bau-thai" pants last time which I tried to sew it back but, still can opened it up by itself. In the end I gave up and threw the pants away. A bit embarrassing but I still managed to get myself not exposed. I can still imagine you running and sneaking around! hahahaha....
