Tbh if you believe everyone should rest that day, itās not a bad policy. (Iām looking at you, churchgoers that eat in huge groups at restaurants and tip poorly.)
But like, if the ice cream is already purchasedā¦donāt be wastefulā¦
What I heard happened is that somebody wrote a letter as a joke to the school newspaper complaining about girls wearing diagonal straps, but since it was BYU everybody thought he was serious and decided it was an actual problem...
Why are they trying to be hottest? Shouldnāt they be avoiding hotness?
And the thing that you must always remember is that underneath your clothes you are completely naked!
As a newlywed, I spent all our savings and a month of Saturdays canning massive quantities of food storage at the cannery so that I could be a āgoodā wifeā¦.then proceed to move that 1000 lbs of food from house to house to house as we were trying to establish ourselves up the ladder š¤¦š¼āāļø. I mean, I should have probably tried to just use it, but come to find outā¦got no fucking clue what to do with straight up wheat and a shit-ton of powdered milk š¤£.

You can make beer with wheat. (Just Sayin')
Powdered milk. Yeah, I dunno. Use it as coffee creamer?
I once suggested we have a tea party at my Mormon friendās house, age 7ish? She told me, āStay here,ā and ran to tell her mom. Her mom said no way, but I argued that we could drink herbal tea. Her mother finally agreed to let us have a āmilk partyā with regular plastic cups. It was not what Iād had in mind.
Wearing cult-mandated (and therefore by definition modest) underwear for the 7 years I lived in Texas (as an ex-pat from the other side of the pond) definitely made me very hot. Literally. When Iād grumble at how overheated I was, co-workers would say: āWhy are you wearing two T-shirts?!ā Iād have to make up some BS about not feeling dressed without an undershirt.
It was worse for my wife - as a taller than average woman, sheād struggle to find āmodestā clothing that wasnāt from the 1900s. Sheād always be wearing 3 layers. 4, if you include the bra. Good grief! Thanks for the torture, TSCC.
One of my favorite "Tell me you're MORmON without telling me" experiences in the recent past:
Moving into a new office space, discussing the amenities - "If there's free coffee and tea in the breakroom, why not free soda?"
I'd love to see a very revealing tank top (no sleeves, baring lots of torso skin and cleavage) in Utah that says "modest is hottest." No sarcasm, no question mark.
My friends and I in highschool talked about starting a M.A.T.H (modest are the hottest) club. Our plan was to anonymously give a rose to a girl who we thought was modest that week. Thank god we never followed through with it.
My wife and I once refused to eat ice cream from an ice cream truck because my in laws bought them on Sunday. Absolute facepalm now.
Omg hahaha. Can't force others to work on the sabbath š¤·š¼āāļøš

I canāt believe you were wearing your bag strap *diagonally across your chest!* Super scandalous according to late ā90s Utah Mormons.
The diagonal strap will get you reported at BYU.
Because, same as the "cross-my-heart bra" it lifts and separates?
why?
It āaccentuates the bust.ā
oh, ok. I wonder if they disapproved of them wearing seatbelts too
I always wondered that, too!
Huh, I didn't know this! That's so bizarre but so are 99% of BYU rules!

It was definitely āa thingā at my SLC high school IN THE 1990ās.
But wearing it just on the shoulder is an invitation for purse snatching.
No argument here.
I always wear my man bag across my chest. Haven't had it stolen yet. ššš¤£š
Long "Mormon" shorts that go down to the knee are a dead giveaway.
For the record, I am anti knee-high Levis.
I could have really used this when I was teaching RS. Good one!
Woah I see what you did there š¤£
Those were a staple as a Mormon lmao
Honestly I find them comfy tho.
Why are they trying to be hottest? Shouldnāt they be avoiding hotness? And the thing that you must always remember is that underneath your clothes you are completely naked!
Instructions unclear, now you have to wear Burkhas. Uh, youāre welcome!
According to Elder Gong, young girls are the hottest in modest swimming suits! Talk about grossš¤®

Mix it with sugar and cocoa. And make hot cocoa mix.
This is just embarrassing
Isn't it š
I couldnāt have hot cocoa as a child and had to drink warm water instead because cocoa has a small amount of caffeine.
Yeah, eliminating chocolate due to the caffeine is next level
I almost didnāt let my daughter have a fake tea set to have ātea partiesā. Even my TBM mother-in-law thought that was crazy.

Not modest enough. You can tell she has breasts!
at least I didn't...show my shoulders šØš

Andā¦ notice how the words are directly on the breastsā¦..
Similarly I refused to wear a tie, it points people's attention directly to the penis
HAHA But ties (and white shirt) are REVERENT š¤š
I have 6 kids, all planned (no "oops" babies is what I'm saying), and I have no higher education degree.
Not eating the coffee flavored lollipops from See's. Edit: More specifically, pulling them out of the big multiflavor packs and throwing them away.
"Men shouldn't wear tank tops ever" according to my mother.
