That diagram comes up often and it annoys me every time. It's so poorly designed that it can be interpreted in two ways:
1) If it's a Venn diagram then the lack of overlapping indicates that the only time you are truly happy is when you are not wearing pants.
2) If it's two pie charts then it seems to indicate that you are only truly happy when you
are
wearing pants.
Two equally valid interpretations that have opposite meanings.
It's a perfect example of why all diagrams/charts need titles.

If you're going to be pedantic, then the pie chart interpretation implies that you wear pants 100% of the time and you are happy 100% of the time. Which would be weird because your pants will be full of poop.

Heh, yeah. When I first saw the image, I assumed they were pie charts because, without any overlapping of the circles, there really isn't anything indicating that it's actually a Venn diagram. I stared at it trying to figure out what it actually meant (or was trying to mean) and my conclusion was what I wrote in my last post.
My complaint is more about the ambiguity of the image than the specific interpretations.
In short: Titles matter!

This is a working example of deduplication. As long as someone in the car is wearing pants, or there is an emergency pants deployment station, we are covered. Why does everyone need a pair?

From the comments:
I truly hate all things contrived. ITS not funny, nor spontaneous or avantguard. ITS just following others. I don't think people under 33 know how to think for themselves anymore. I"m glad my 11 year old daughter is an oddity. SHE wants to stay in her PJ's all weekend and relax. ... BTW, she still rides her bike, electric scooter, texts...She at this point is a free thinker...SOmetimes I find myself saying, how come you donj't join the soccer team,....then I'm like..why am I pushing her to be like the rest. the rest don't invent the lightbulb, or write the dec of ind, or the bill of rights. The rest go to work in a cubicle. So I guess what I'm saying, these people on the train, are simply "like the rest" not original....more followers.
Yeah, your free-thinking kid is so unusual, she sits around in her pajamas all weekend, texting her friends and otherwise expanding her creative mind, just like the Founding Fathers.
