Is it unwise to answer the phone naked?

Question

I have known people who dash to get dressed if they are nude when a phonecall comes, as though it were instead a knock at the door. I have also known people who laugh at such behavior on the grounds that the person on the other end of the line can't see you.

I hadn't thought about the dichotomy myself before it was brought up in conversation recently. Do you feel comfortable answering the phone naked?

Why/why not?

Answer 1

wtf? obviously.

Answer 2

I sometimes have whole conversation while naked. It sounds weird but I usually have a towel around me.  

Answer 3

I love this question...anyway.. if its my hubby i dont mind answering the phone in any capacity...but I would certainly feel odd answering the phone naked and find I am talking with my father in law....so i tend to avoid the naked phone thing unless i recognize the caller id to be "safe" lol

Answer 4

it is very unwise to answer the phone naked...

Answer 5

yea? but i wouldnt answer the door naked

Answer 6

it wouldn't bother me as i don't have a video phone.  if i did it would be quicker to drop a towel over the lens than to get dressed.

Answer 7

I won't go to the door naked of course because i don't know who it is. But i will answer the phone naked if i happen to be that way when then phone rings.

Answer 8

You know, it's interesting, because a while back I though about how interesting it is that when using the phone, you don't know if the person on the other end is naked.

The same thing goes for the internet. I mean, for all you know, I might be naked right now, as I type this answer. Or you might have been naked when asking. Overall, we have no way of knowing.

Still, this reminds me of a Kids in the Hall sketch:

If you're interested about what you can do while naked, even if people can't see you, take the 3 minutes to watch the video. Maybe it'll answer some questions

Answer 9

No....if knowone else can see you, it shouldnt be. It's just a phone call not like you're in person.

Answer 10

Relax!!  You greatly overestimate the "perils" of nudity.

Answer 11

Yes, it does feels unwise to answer the phone naked.

More or less like you want to respect yourself in attire and appearance, even if its talking to someone a few miles away from you when they can't see you.

Based on my own opinion, I'd always wear something before answering calls.

Hope this helps

Answer 12

yes answering the phone naked doesnt matter. its not like they can see me.
