opening the door for mail deliveries nude

[yitfs]

Like the title mentions. If you guys are home and there is a delivery to the door that you need to sign for, how do you accept it?
Usually I keep a pair of shorts next to the door and I wear those real quick before I open the door to sign my delivery. what do u guys do in this case??

[Baron Lake]

I just use a piece of duct tape over my butt crack then stand with my
back to the door, look back and reach over my sholder. No trouble so far.
I wonder, for the Holidays do you think I should add a bow and ribbon. I
think that's what naturistmark does (he's a classy guy). Don't even think about mistletoe. That would be rude.

b.l.

[yitfs]

what if you have to sign for a package u never turn around lol. very interesting.

[enertronik]

I like the bow and ribbon idea, very festive. I usually keep a bath robe by the door but I may just abandon that after hearing the ribbon idea. Sounds like a winner to me.

Covering up for those who deliver mail/packages etc is being respectful.

[yitfs]

yup i agree with that. I wanted to know what the group thinks. thanks.

I agree. Anything else is likely exhibitionism. Besides, I cannot even imagine not covering up here right now. It is bloody cold here......-20C. :eek:

I'm glad my apartment complex pays for my heating, so i can be fairly nude even if its cold.

And in some places, you COULD be prosecuted.

Our mail lady never comes to the door. If she has a package, she drives up the 300 foot or so driveway and puts the package with rest of the mail by the people door to the garage. Twice, she's caught me naked when I used to be out there like that, before the 3 kids moved in next door (about 300 yards away behind shrubs and trees). I just take the mail. She usually waves a cheery goodbye to me as she turns around to go back out.

Today, she caught me in long sleeved shirt and my tiny towel rig underneath (because the only neighbors who can see me have 3 kids; it's my towel where I grab opposite corners and tie at the side, just barely big enough). I took the package and other mail and wished her a Merry Christmas. She wished me back and turned around and left.

The UPS guy caught me the other day, with just a long sleeved shirt on.

Answering the door nude is asking for legal trouble. Use plenty of duct tape. Bows and ribbons optional.

In the cooler months, I often am wearing a robe around the house, so if I need to accept a delivery, I do so in my robe. During the warmer months when I am nude around the house, I will either keep the robe near the door where I can slip into it, or, more often, I put on the short terry wrap I purchased from the Naturist Society. It is a short piece of terry cloth with an elastic waist and velcro to keep it closed. It is quick to put on and does the job.

In the cooler months I always keep a robe handy. Summertime I usually have a pair of shorts nearby. No one comes by surprise with my little dogs living here!

[nakedjohn]

I do answer the door in the nude for a male mailman, but will cover up if we have from time to time a lady mail man. He has no problem with it.

[BernardUK]

Well, I rarely check who's at the door before just opening it. So sometimes I'm dressed, sometimes half, sometimes not! A meter-reader once turned tail, but deliveries requiring signature get dealt with as normal. I'm sure postmen briefly meet recipients in all stages of readiness. What's the big deal?

And I've found being nude very effective in putting off those Jehovah's Witnesses from calling again (can't think why!).

Actually, our FedEx lady was the first to ring-twice -- the signal that we can answer the door without getting dressed -- so I don't think it is a gender issue.

A dressing gown kept by the door is faster than shorts, and less dangerous.

Which reminds me, the pic below shows a standard style of No Hawkers door sticker plus one suitable for the current topic. (Agde would have to change the wording around). I should admit that it's not in service here...yet.

Like yitfs, I keep a pair of shorts near the door in the warmer weather. They're easy to slip on if somebody rings the bell. In the colder months, I keep an old robe hanging in the closet just inside the front door. I wouldn't answer the door nude, and would always cover up first.

[nosockstoday]

I'm usually in the office in the daytime when someone knocks or rings. Our dog will faithfully let me know unless he outside for a bit. I keep a pair of shorts in the office that are quick to get into.

Removal of said duct tape can be interesting. OUCH!

These are GREAT signs, don't think my roommate would allow them but still, I love them!

Then throw your roomate out! lol...lol

[risunbum]

usually keep a pair of shorts handy to answer door, less problems, less explaining

[wheelchair069]

i usually just have a towel to answer the door it's easier that way being in a wheelchair

[WriteNaked]

It's something I always want to do. It's something I've actually done, but only when I was sure that the person ringing the bell knows me and wouldn't mind -- in fact, would probably also be naked in a matter of minutes, after coming in.

And I'd very gladly answer the door naked for solicitors or to unnerve religious zealots who might be knocking: there are times when a person wants to be "bad" ...

But the chances are also good that it could be the mail carrier, whose response I'm not sure about (does he know the content of "N" when he delivers it to my box?) or the maintenence guys from the building I live in.

So I "maintain discretion" and cover myself with a robe when the door bell rings but I'm not expecting anyone.

Is discretion the better part of valor? Or am I just a chicken?

Don't know; and don't want to find out in court.

Out of resect, even if it's your own house, it's better to put on a robe, or shorts to sign for a package, or a letter. It's better to keep the dust settled than to fluff it about to see where it may land. Better to play it safe.:smoking:

It's something I always want to do. It's something I've actually done, but only when I was sure that the person ringing the bell knows me and wouldn't mind

I've done that and been surprised before. I was sleeping, naked as always, and heard a knock at my bedroom window (which is right next to the front door) and a girl's voice saying my name. I just figured it was my girlfriend, who often stopped by after her morning class, and without thinking twice went into the living room and opened the door naked only to find my (female) best friend standing there. I'm not sure if she had ever seen me naked before at that point or not but she knew I went to nudist resorts and I was always the first one to get people skinny dipping at late night drinking parties so it couldn't have been that much of a shock. Without even batting an eye she just walks right in and starts telling me about how the previous night her car was towed, she had a run in with the cops and was dang lucky to have not gotten arrested for DUI.

And I'd very gladly answer the door naked for solicitors or to unnerve religious zealots who might be knocking: there are times when a person wants to be "bad" ...

I've done that before when I was a kid, perhaps 13 or so. My Mother left to go to the store, leaving me home alone, and called me a minute later saying that she saw what looked some religious types down the street going door to door. She recommended that I kill the lights and not answer the door for them. I thought that this chance was too good to pass up. I got undressed and when they knocked I answered the door that way. It was two middle aged women and I didn't just fling the door opened and show them everything. I kept my "boy parts" hidden behind the door but they could see my entire side and one leg so it was clear that I was not wearing anything. They defiantly were flustered and specifically asked if my Dad was home, I guess that the idea that a 13 year old boy would be naked at home in front of Mom was a little too much for their limited world view to consider. I told them "no' and they just gave me a pamphlet and left, no questions, no preaching about how great their religion is.

And the best part about that is..... If they are truly following god's Word, then your unclothed state would not be an issue in any way.

A quick way to weed out the hypocrates!

I keep a pair of shorts by the door for such times. However, twice, the UPS guy has delivered packages, and looked in the window as he rang the door bell. The first time, I had just gotten out of the shower, and was looking out to see what all the racket was in the driveway. Our guy drives like a NASCAR Driver and the truck has to be the noisest thing on wheels. He saw me look out, so I just opened the door and got the package and he said Hi and went on his way. The second time, it was the same story. Just out of the shower, and there he stood. Have never been caught by the regular USPS driver. She will put the package on the porch, and the ring the door bell. If we dont' answer, then she puts the rest of the mail in the box at the end of the driveway.

[johnbare]

I usually put on a dressing gown if I have to go to the door. I always used to feel guilty as though I'd been caught out, but I've got over that now.

[beachfun1002]

My delivery people just come in, so I have been caught several times bare, my mail person, UPS, and Fed Ex, all have had the experience. Once had a different driver who just dropped the package and ran away though. If someone knocks, I put on a robe that I keep hanging near by.

[JohnE44]

2 times I have meet my morning paper carrier when I was looking to see if the paper was there must happen a lot it did not seem to bother her

[bafromca]

i usually just have a towel to answer the door it's easier that way being in a wheelchair

I, too, am in a wheelchair and though I usually had small pair of swim trunks, bikini briefs or speedo handy if the mail carrier or UPS man was coming by, there were a few times where a dish towel or even the newspaper draped across my lap was enough to do the job.

During the many hot days of this past summer, I happened to be home a lot when the mailman came by. There were a few times when I actually needed to have him come to the front door to give him some last-minute mail that had to go out. On the few occasions when there was nothing close by enough for me to put on, I was discreet enough to partially hide behind the door.

I'm sure he's figured me out by now. In any event, what ever he did (or didn't) see, he was always nonplussed about it.
