A photo of a person at a hotel counter is dividing the internet. The question is, are they wearing pants or not?

Posted by website Passenger Shaming to their Facebook page, the image was accompanied with "Caption this"... and has been shared more than 280 times.

Almost 1,000 comments have rolled in, many debating whether or not the person is clothed on their lower half.

Lisa Jones wrote: "Please tell me they're leggings in an unfortunate colour."

While another woman called for an end to the production of beige leggings:

"I think clothing manufacturers should be sued for making leggings in that color and subjecting our eyes to such horror. NO ONE, not even a size zero little, itty bitty thing, looks good in that color," wrote Karen Meier Henderson.

And attempts at befiiting captions were plentiful:

Shimon Chaim wrote: "... I'd say he'd been flying by the seat of his trousers but..."

Gina Ferguson offered a play on words with "Up at the crack of dawn..." as did Trish Edelman who wrote: "Butt, I have a reservation for an end room with a full view!"

Others suggested the person had been caught out and needed assistance:

J A Shong Foo suggested: "I was hoping you had a complimentary sewing kit and maybe a toothbrush? OH!! and a pair of men's underwear, I left mine on the airplane with my socks while I was clipping my toenails..and I think that's it. Thanks!"
