Sound like fun to you? Keep in mind, of course, that mooning is frowned upon in polite society, and a mooning at the wrong time or place can cost you many friendships. Still okay with it? Well, then, read on to find out how to moon someone properly.

Steps

  1. Have a reason to moon. Obviously, you might want to just moon someone because you think it's a funny practical joke. Well, it's also extremely crude, and insulting, so don't moon someone that you don't wish to be insulted by it. A good thing to remember also, at this point, is to look around. Is there someone you are attracted to nearby? What about family members? If so, it is generally advised to walk away at this point, pants remaining buttoned.
  2. Form an escape plan. This is optional, if you are running short on time. If you don't have time to figure out where you are going to run to, just run for the nearest bush, or, if you are in a city, alley. If you are indoors, run for the door.
  3. Unbutton pants. Keep one hand on your fly, so you will be able to pull and zip up your pants again as quickly as possible after mooning. There is nothing more humiliating than attempting to make a moon n' dash- mooning someone, and then running away, than finding out that you are unable to pull up your pants on time. If this is the case, you will fall. With your pants down around your ankles. That is the only possible way that your mooning will actually backfire, making you the "butt" of the joke.
  4. Pull 'em down.
  5. Pull 'em up again. The time between these two steps should be kept to an absolute minimum. People will be tempted to actually kick you, in the butt, when you moon them. The best way to avoid this is to not give them time. About a second or so of mooning is plenty to make your point.
  6. Button your pants.
  7. Run for it. If you followed step two, you already had an escape plan prepared at this point. You don't need to stick around and argue- there is no comeback to a mooning, and you should hope that whoever you mooned does not chose to run after you. At this point, you should be trying to put whatever possible between you and the person you mooned.
  8. Escape.

Tips

  • Part of the fun of watching someone over TV who has mooned in an open sports arena during half time, is watching a few officials attempt to grab them as they run in different directions to make a getaway.
  • Mooning is mostly done as a joke and by catching a viewer by complete surprise. It happens in a blink of the eye. Make sure that you move away just as quickly from the site of the mooning so you do not get caught.
  • Before mooning, you may want to check exactly how strict the local police are on indecent exposure. There is almost always a law to that effect, however, it doesn't always, or often, cover mooning as being illegal.
  • Sometimes being refined can be boring, so at times it is kind of fun to break out of it and be spontaneous and do something a little unconventional.
  • Run away quickly when mooning someone in person. Understand that mooning is not about whether the person you moon wants to chase you or not, but the simple act of running away adds to the insult. Aside from that, if they do want to catch you, you should make sure you run away fast. Whether your victim intends to give chase or not, the act of running away adds a much needed element to the insult and running will give you a head start over them.
  • A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge ruled that, while not tasteful, mooning someone in Maryland is not illegal, according to The Washington Post.[1]
  • Moon while in a driving car. This is fun, and everyone will laugh and will not know it is you. Sit in the passenger seat, and moon your butt through the open window. This is an experience almost every teen has enjoyed at least once, if not more often and find it fun and quite harmless.

Warnings

  • Remember it is meant to be funny not sexual, keep it clean and fun. Don't flop your goods out for the world to see and make sure everybody is laughing.
  • They may also develop a hatred or love for you so be aware of reactions.
  • Please note that this will not always anger someone, this amuses some people.
