How many clothes to open the door??

[Goodbookandbed]

This morning a delivery man came to the front door whilst I was getting dressed. DH was on the loo so couldn’t get it. So I did. I was fully dressed on the top half, but only knickers on the bottom half. I sort of peered round the door so he couldn’t see much.

DH jokingly said that I shouldn’t have gone to the door ‘semi naked’ and now I wonder whether he’s right. For some reason I think it’d be better this way round than half dressed on the top half, if you know what I mean?

So what’s the minimum amount of clothing necessary to answer the door? Clearly I’d not wear just underwear. But a towel?? No… Maybe I need to have a standby poncho by the front door.

I’m the same. It’s weird, would definitely not have answered the door wearing bra and trousers, but did wearing jumper and knickers (despite fanny being ‘worse’ than boobs).

On TV women are always answering the door just wrapped in a towel - like who does that? I've answered in my Jim jams but that's an oversized t shirt that goes to my knees. You were probably fine if you were mostly covered by the door.

Given that they often take a photo of you holding said item did this fella angle the camera slightly upwards hoping for a later zoom into minge base?

mine never do. They have taken many pictures of the parcel at my feet. I got caught out once having no flip flops on and between pedicures so the picture was of my hobbit like feet with the parcel next to it. I’ve never stretched out pedicure appointments since!

I absolutely love the idea of a “standby poncho” 😂

I'd grab a coat from the selection which hang on the row of hooks beside the front door if needed to open it and I was less than fully dressed.

I realised once after shutting the door that I had a boob hanging out after breastfeeding. I thought the delivery driver looked a bit... confused. But I was so tired with baby twins, I didn't really know or care why. My husband laughed when I told him. (No photo was taken, and I remember thinking as I shut the door that that was unusual... )

I have answered the door to the post man in underwear and just put my head round the door and asked them to chuck the parcel in 😂

I answer the door in just a towel. Mind you, got caught out once because the towel slipped as I bent over to pick up a parcel. So the delivery man got a good flash of my ample bosom. Took the mick out of me afterwards as well, cheeky sod.
Another time, my husband went out just as I was getting into the bath. When the doorbell went 2 minutes later, I assumed he'd forgotten his keys, so I answered the door dripping wet wrapped in a skimpy towel. It was Jehovahs Witnesses, who asked me if I thought there was enough peace in the world. To which I responded there would be a darn sight more peace if people like them didn't disturb people like me, trying to take a bath whilst the baby was asleep, only she's not now because you've woken her. Thanks.

Please explain why you keep all your clothes in the toilet your husband was sitting on.

Frequently answered the door breast feeding as partner was getting 3/4 deliveries a day as "well you'll be in won't you"....

I think she means he was on the loo, so couldn't get the door, not she couldn't get her clothes. I can see why you thought what you thought, though.

The last time i did that i got a creepy text from the delivery driver

@Goodbookandbed DH jokingly said that I shouldn’t have gone to the door ‘semi naked’ and now I wonder whether he’s right

I'd be wondering why my DH said I shouldn’t have gone to the door ‘semi naked’

You obviously weren't semi naked - and what did he think the delivery driver was going to do when you answered the door?

I'd be more worried that he was judging how he would have reacted in the same situation .....

i just yell through the ring doorbell for them to leave it on the step.. and then send DH to collect it

I’ve answered in a towel and like op with top half dressed but just pants on.

I wouldn’t have done just knickers! Definitely need top and bottoms on. I feel awkward if I answer with no bra on but a baggy t shirt or if I’m clearly in my pyjamas.

My knickers are so big they need 3 pegs to hang on the line. I wouldn't think twice, as long as I had a top on! 😁

I've answered the door to the postman in my nightie, it covers everything though! I definitely wouldn't answer the door in a towel or just pants on bottom half 😂
