Have you ever left the premises wearing nothing but (a) a bedsheet, (b) a blanket, or (c) a towel?

Asked by Jeruba (55829points) August 27th, 2011

What were the circumstances under which you ventured out without any conventional clothing (not even underwear)?

How far did you go, and for how long?

A towel in front of my house in broad daylight.
I took pictures of the man who entered my house and walked in on me while I was taking a shower.

When my friends rented a cabin Upstate, we’d leave the cabin and run around naked but I don’t think I ever left my home without any clothing on.

I’ve only had bad dreams about it. Never did it in real life.

No, but I wish I had.

Like @worriedguy only in my dreams. But they were’t bad.:D

Well, it was the 70s and we looked pretty good naked, so we streaked the UVM radio station, beach towels in hand. Everyone applauded, no one had a camera, and we felt quite smug about it all. Those towels got us to and from the venue without getting arrested.

no.

@lucillelucillelucille: What happened? Did you call the cops?

Wore a sheet as a toga to high school on Halloween, with workboots. Can’t remember if it included underwear. It was a tribute to Animal House.

I haven’t in real life but very often I have dreams about this. It’s always like, how the hell did I get here without my clothes?! Damn, I need to get me some clothes! I just had one a couple days ago in which I was shopping in Neiman Marcus and all I had on was a beach towel. In some dreams I have no clothes on at all. I guess this is a very common dream. Fear of exposure!

@jca I did.When they asked for a description of the man,I downloaded and printed a photo for them.I thought they were going to lose it when I did that.Thinking back on it,I have to laugh too.:)They did catch him and took him away to be evaluated at the hospital.I
had to go to court a few months later and the judge issued a restraining order.He never bothered me again.I also keep my doors locked now ;)

I’ve walked outside naked during heavy rainstorms in the middle of the night (not at my current abode, but when I was much younger). I have had no plans for doing this during Irene.

Currently I walk outdoors au naturel most mornings to get my newspaper from in front of my front door, and that’s a bit of a risk, because the road I live on is fairly well traveled, my front doorstep is only about 20’ from the road / sidewalk, the bushes sometimes don’t offer all the coverage I might want, and if I can’t hear a car (or if one is speeding down the road and I misjudge when it will pass), then I can be ‘caught’. And I’m not always doing this before sunup, either. If I’ve been noticed, no one has said anything yet.

I’m in college.

It’s not uncommon for me and/or several other people to wander around in nothing but towels, bedsheets, or blankets every now and then.

HS more times than I can count! Fire alarms were a regular event in the dorms in college and I can’t remember ever wearing more than a robe to any of them. Standing in a towel in a January blizzard in DeKalb Illinois is NOT fun!

No, but that’s on my bucket list. The wackier, the better.

Blankets and towels yeah, but always while wearing something. I get cold real fast when I go in a pool or whatever, so after I get out I’m wrapped in a towel for like 20 minutes. I brought a blanket out to lay in the sun before, and put it over my head when going back in, because it was soft and I was wanting to be funny. Not indecent exposure stories to tell though.

I don’t think so, but there are a few hazy years back in my teens. Anything is possible!

Technically, this doesn’t count, but most of the witnesses didn’t know the truth. While working at a church conference center as a teen, a friend and I were invited by two boys to go skinny-dipping in the lake one night. We met up with them at the agreed upon time. The guys were already in the water and their clothes were on the beach. Bobbi and I quickly realized that this wasn’t a good idea, so we grabbed their clothes and made a dash back to the girl’s dorm.

A week later, Bobbi and I received subpoenas to appear in a mock court being put on by two other summer workers. Ours were for the skinny-dipping shenanigans, and others received them for other silly summer employee doings. The whole staff was packed into a meeting room, and the two ‘judges’ were wearing black choir robes and mops on their heads.

Bobbi and I decided to wear just a bath towel. We had to sneak across the grounds to the conference room, then sit there with our friends until called. When the judges said that we were guilty, we got up, stood in front of the table where they were sitting, and flashed them as a bribe. Little did the audience know that we had shorts and some sort of strapless top on underneath.

In college I once left my room with nothing on but my coat and heels to go to….. (wait for it) the vending machine for some chocolate. I don’t remember why… Bombay Saphire was probably involved.

I attended the Philadelphia Folk Festival one year when it rained nearly the whole time—three days. We couldn’t stay dry. We were caked with mud. When it was time to pile into the car for the 6-hour drive home, I stripped off all my wet, disgusting clothes. I had nothing fresh left to put on, so I wrapped up in a blanket, kimono style, and wore that. We got some looks when we stopped for gas and rest rooms halfway home, but I just hugged my blanket around me and trotted in in my bare feet.

For purposes of this question, coats and robes and such don’t count, no matter how scant and daring(!). Those are garments, items meant to be worn and made to fit a body. Bed and bath linens aren’t.
