Police's 'final warning' to Maryland residents, orders them to wear pants while checking mailboxes

The Taneytown Police Department shared the odd message in a Facebook post on Tuesday suggesting some of the town's 7,000 residents may have gotten too comfortable while being ordered to stay at home.

'Please remember to put pants on before leaving the house to check your mailbox. You know who you are. This is your final warning,' they wrote.

I don't understand people who don't wear pants, bras, fail to bathe, wash their hair, etc, just because they are home - they only do these things for other people? I think they have more problems than coronavirus.

That said, I've never gone outside even for a second without at least something wrapped around my middle area.

When I get home from work, the shoes come off first, and the bra is quick to follow. I took one off in the car one time on the way home because it was so bothersome.

I'm probably not being as hygienically correct because, really, there ain't no one that is going to pop in and visit me these days.....

It's quite disturbing to the monitoring staff. Except for you. Yeah, you. Sit up straight. Shoulders back. Much better. Thank you.

Clothing should be optional everywhere. If I don't like your looks when you're nude, I can look elsewhere; it ain't my bidness to tell you to get dressed.
