Intruding Prudes

[KnitShoni]

Still, I think it is rude to flaunt your beauty at someone who have asked you politely to stop. A robe isn't that expensive and shouldn't get to much in the way of checking the weather.

Exactly. You don't have to be naked to know whether it's hot, warm, cool, or cold outside.

Its a waste of time though to get dressed before I get dressed.

Pulling a bathrobe on is hardly the same as dressing, those two seconds is a small price to pay. I'm not embarrassed by nakedness, my own or other peoples, but I know that there are people who are, so I'll pull a bathrobe or some trousers on when someone knock at the door. I like to walk around naked when I'm at home and alone but why impose that on a poor LDS missionary or mailman or even my friends?

I have a tendency to walk around my house naked in the morning straight after a shower. It's comfortable and it allows you to dry completely before getting dressed.
I too sometimes have to go out onto my balcony during this time as well. I hang my knee brace out on the railing every day to dry (I hand wash it after the gym every day). But must be doing something strange here.

-I wrap a towel around myself-

Tada! Not dressed. Can still feel the temperature against my naked skin. Able to retrieve knee brace without drawing unwanted attention. It's amazing!

Though I'm gonna have to curb my nakedness in the morning soon. Roommate coming in in a couple of weeks. Yay for cheaper rent! Boo for having to dress in the bathroom.

What exactly are you getting dressed in that you can't at least put on pants or a skirt and a light top before going outside? You're getting dressed anyway. If you have to wear pants to work, can't you at least put those on?

Also, your OP mentioned that the weather varies from area to area. So, why does it matter what the weather is like at your apartment, when you've already said there's a high probability it won't be the same at your job?

You also mentioned wanting to go outside before you dressed to see if it's raining. Does it rain differently where you are as opposed to the places I've been? Because everywhere I've been, all you needed to do to know if it was raining is look out the window.

I work closer then the weather station so it is usually the same as at my house. As far as rain, if it is going to rain the air feels differently then if it isn't. I want to know if it will rain later so I can be ready.

I guess keeping an umbrella in your car would make too much sense? Oh, and it never rains out of the blue, and there are never times when it might "feel" like rain or "smell" like rain, but doesn't actually rain.

[Red Panda]

There are times but usually its easy to tell and if its going to rain I want to wear a jacket that does well when wet.

So...keep the jacket in your car?

[Red Panda]

Well gee, I suppose keeping all my clothes in the car would be smarter then dressing for the weather.

[Boozy]

You have the most baffling logic.

Basically, you are being asked to refrain from appearing buck naked in public. Somehow, you interpret that as "I must keep my entire wardrobe with me at all times."

[Red Panda]

I just think it makes more sense to check the weather then to keep umbrellas and other clothes in my car in case the weather is bad.

[KnitShoni]

Of course it does. What doesn't make sense is having to be naked or almost naked to do so.

^This. Seriously, why would putting on a light robe be such a hardship? I wear kimono-style robes as regular clothes sometimes, and it takes no effort or time at all to wrap one around you enough to preserve modesty. Now, taking pains to arrange it neatly, putting on sashes, belts, or other accessories takes more time. But even I don't bother with all that when I'm only wrapping myself in the thing to cover my nekkid self.

You don't have to keep all your clothes in your car, or fully dress to go outside. Just throw on a light cotton robe, and maybe keep a folding umbrella in the car. Heck, a folding umbrella takes up hardly any space at all, even if you threw in one of those folding plastic ponchos for emergencies, it would take little space.

Heck, underwear and holding your arms across your breasts would suffice.
