I was making breakfast this morning and one of the neighbor men stopped by to borrow a tool, I offered coffee which he came in and sat down for and I said I am making eggs would you like some? He bashfully said yes, Linda doesn’t make breakfast any more so I usually go hungry…. Men are such children! (I am totally not out in my neighborhood so as much as I wanted to change into Mrs. Cleaver clothes and mode ((would June Cleaver wear heels and hose to make breakfast?)) I couldn’t) and so just as I started to beat the eggs the whisk times fell out of the handle! Well Megan to the rescue! I covertly slipped into my girly goods bag, got out my nail polish remover and nail glue and a cotton puff and as he had his coffee I quietly fixed the whisk with my girly stuff. Too funny. But that also brings the question of what I’m gonna do when he comes by and I’m dressed and in nails and make up? That won’t come off in two minutes! What is your emergency plan for such events?
I have yet for it to be an issue, but have thought about it. As I see it you have two options, one act like nobody is home, which may not work if the lights are on, et cetera, or just own it and welcome him in and answer the questions he is likely to ask. Of course the third option is to not dress at home, but where’s the fun in that?
I have never had it happen with a neighbor, but have with delivery people, and just had to go to the door dressed and sign for my package…and the world keep turning.
Simple answer is to not answer the door when dressed unless you want to out yourself to this person.
It also depends on what state of dressing you are in. Can you remove clothes quickly enough? Are your nails polished with no way to hide them? Can you cover up with a robe or something? Can you remove your bra or taking off the forms will do? Makeup?
I don’t answer the door dressed unless its a delivery person or evangelical that I know won’t be back.
That has happened to me several times and I always go scrambling for the bedroom to get as much off as need be to answer the door, I have forgot my earrings a time or two. One time I pushed open the garage door to get my mail and the mail lady was just walking past and got a goofy look on her face, I only have one ear pierced and just had a turquoise earring on. LOL I’m going to try and get the other one done so I can get some cute earrings………
I used to worry about that myself. Usually would not even go to the door and pretend no one was home. Now I have gotten to the point were I don’t care who knows. A few weeks ago A sales person stopped by the house to sell us on solar, I came home after he was started with his pitch. I was wearing my dress,after coming home from a day of ‘Cassie time’, I didn’t change or hide I was just there as Cassie.

Hi Stephanie.
That is a funny story. We forget sometimes but you know the typical guy doesn’t notice things like what shoes you’re wearing so I’m sure you’re safe.
Also I relate to when you said your wife ran to cover up. At my home, my wife runs to put a bra on and I run to take one off…. lol

I make a point as of lately whenever I get to work from home to always dress up. Nice skirt and blouse, makeup & lipstick after all a girl’s gotta look as good as she can, right? My biggest concern is one of my adult kids stopping by, and I haven’t introduced them to Rachel. I always put my phone next to where I’m working, set to display the front door camera, so I can dash to the upstairs washroom if need be. Hasn’t happened yet, but there is a risk.
Once or twice I’ve answered the door for a delivery and while I might get a 2nd glance from the delivery person, I’ve yet to have anyone say anything.
