TANEYTOWN, Md. — People all over the United States are stuck at home under “stay home” orders during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic — making pants unnecessary for the most part.

According to one Maryland police department, many people are neglecting to don pants for their daily trip to the mailbox. Taneytown Police Department posted a playful “final warning” on its Facebook page.

“Please remember to put pants on before leaving the house to check your mailbox,” the post says. “You know who you are. This is your final warning.”

Some commenters are defiantly vowing not to wear pants during the trek down the driveway. Others are asking for pictures to prove it’s happening. Many questions revolve around whether underwear alone is OK, and if not, what about a Speedo?
