Should we dress for the pizza delivery man?

When he showed up last night I was walking through the living room toward the bedroom. My first impulse upon hearing the knock at the door was to bolt for my room, but then I stopped. "Why should I?"
Myra answered the door, and by the time I had dropped off the laundry and come back into the room he was gone.
We talked about it a bit, and of course disagree. I don't see where it SHOULD be a problem, but can understand her position that we shouldn't push our nudity on the unwilling/unprepaired.

What do y'all think?

If Myra was clothed when she answered the door, and you weren't answering the door, there was no need for you to be clothed.

If Myra was naked when she answered the door, and yu weren't answering the door, there was no need for you to be clothed.

Therefore, there was no need for you to be clothed. <G>

There is an important Christian tradition, both Biblically and historically, that calls for us to show hospitality to strangers. Startling, and possibly frightening, strangers at our door wouldn't be hospitable; it would simply be rude.

Having said that, I've seen articles that suggest that it's not uncommon for pizza deliverymen to be met by nude bodies when they ring doorbells. Sometimes the homeowner thinks a flash of flesh takes the place of a tip. Now THAT'S rude.

If I decide to answer the door in the nude, I would make absolutely sure that the poor unsuspecting delivery person gets an awesome tip! They would WANT to come again!!!!

If you ask somebody to call at your home, I believe that you should either warn them that you will be nude or be prepared to cover up quickly, otherwise they could feel entrapped. Obviously if somebody clothed deals with the caller at the door, then there is no need for the other occupant(s) to dress. Recently in a moment of financial recklessness, I telephoned to arrange for the car to be washed and when the chap called round he thanked me twice for warning him. If somebody cannot state a definite time, I tell them that I will almost certainly be nude- it is bad enough having to wait around all day, let alone stay dressed! If somebody calls unexpectedly, I open the door but shield my bottom half with the door and immediately warn them that I am nude and I usually find that they are not concerned and meter readers have entered the house. Usually delivery staff are in such a hurry, I often find that they are about to turn away by the time I open the door so I would not have time to put something on and they seem to be more worried about their next call than my lack of clothes. It detracts from the sense of freedom if you have to be within arm’s length of a cover up at all times Most of my friends and relatives expect to find me nude. Our builder is quite used to me being nude when his working in or around the house.

Very good all around advice,

Thanks

Pizza delivery guys,....delivery people in general, has seen more nudity than they can possibly count.

I was caught by a courier once, I slipped on my shorts, but caught him chuckling a little. I was in the back yard and the driveway ended where he could stop and see me.
