NIFOGMR

[Gary Naturist]

I was NIFOC when I heard someone knock on our front door. I looked out the peephole and saw that it was the gas meter reader. He's a nice, older guy whom I've let into the house many times.

I opened the door a crack and said: "Oh, hi. Do you mind if I'm nude?" He said: "Doesn't bother me at all". So I let him in and he went about his business.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is NIFOC?

[Snoboy]

I have done this numerous times. The cable guy is accustomed to seeing me nude. If I have clothes on he will jokingly say, "Going somewhere?" I just provide the courtesy of knowing that it is my preference and if they say they are uncomfortable I say hold on a minute and grab some shorts and let them in. I have a guy here right now. He just left to get his younger brother to help him with the remodel job of my guest bathroom. I told him that I am a student and I am more comfortable nude when I am studying and would it be a problem for him. He said, "Heck no, Man, I am always nekkid at my place." So here I sit buck-naked and he has gone to get his brother and I am not the least concerned about it. I am minding my business and they are doing their thing. If they want me I am right near by and are free to come and go as much as they wish so long as they do not let my Yorkies out of the house. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I'd guess it means something like "Nude In Front Of Callers"

Of course I could be wrong!

NIFOC = Nude In Front Of Computer.

Wife came home the other day and saw a Dominion Electric truck here. The reader came up from the back side of the house and acted surprised and said, "Oh, you're clothed." They're used to seeing me here. The lady told how one day she came to read the meter and heard a machine racket in the back. She looked around the corner to the right and behind the house and saw me in my hat and shoes running my shreader. I remember looking up and seeing the truck leaving the driveway. I'm kinda down below such that those coming up the driveway would never see me, but I can see them. Didn't see it come in.

I think that Your house is Your property, and property rights are certain kindred of "saint cow". It means the GRM should ask You the permit to come in Your dominion and obey the rules You use there and never contrary. So I vote for 3~rd.

[butnaked]

Gary, I think you handled the GRM just fine. I always grab my shorts when someone, unnanounced come to the door, so I do not shock or offend anyone. Although permission to be naked in your own home is not required in my book. But you protected the service "person" from shock and I think that is the courtious thing to do.

And there is a chat group NIFOC.com and there it stands for Nude In Of Computer.

You did the right thing by first asking him. It was the polite and correct thing to do.

I keep a robe next to my door for delivery people and unexpected visitors. Although I love going to nude beaches and resorts. I'm still in some ways a bit shy. Don't think I would have done the same thing.

[Guest]

You did the right thing by asking him because otherwise he miht have been offended at the sight of your nudity and, as he has no choice but to enter your home (to do his job), he should be able to do so without suffering offence.

Presumably if he had said that he preferred you to be covered up you would have put something on.

I am very glad that you recognise that people have a right not to be offended. The last time I looked at the poll here only 17% of people think differently.

It's not so much a right not to be offended, but more people choosing to be courteous. The poll merely shows that the majority is being considerate. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

You are the master at generalizing from a very small sample.

I do NOT believe that people have a right not to be offended. Anyone can be offended by anything. It is impossible for everyone to modify their actions to eliminate everything that might offend any other person.

Gary!
I know a man who are heavely offended if someone offer him strawberries or products consisting of. He have a heavyest allergy against them and feel sick weeks after if even smell it. He looking on the person who do this kind gesture like a personal murder. I know him personally.

So Your sentence is very true that it is allways possible to find a person who feels offended by something thought being even most innocent.
