On Monday, as I was changing from my work clothes to my bike clothes for my commute home at the end of the day, I thought, as I stood there nekkid as the day I was born, “Gee, I’m really glad I have an office with a door that locks. My colleagues would be, too, if they knew what the door is concealing at the moment.” I also thought, “I wonder if office nekkid-ness is a common occurrence?” Who better to ask then you guys? The poll is quite simple. Feel free to add as much detail as you want in the thread. ---

I’ve changed in the office before, but never my underpants, I don’t think. And if I’d had to, I would of course have used the junior high gym class trick of changing one half of the body fully before moving to the other half, just in case. –Cliffy ---

Never nekkid, but down to my skivvies many times to change clothes for various reasons, usually athletic related. ETA: Two of the three floors of my building have showers in the respective restrooms. ---

Many times. Many. But there was a short time when I was going through a divorce that I lived at my office, so there’s that. ---

Never had an office, so… Does the workplace count? 'cause I could probably remember a couple of those. ---

We have a locker room so no need to get naked in any of the offices. ---

Well, I have changed from work clothes to casual clothes in the office restroom (the big handicapped stall) but I don’t have an office with a door that closes. I’ve never been naked in my cubicle, that’s for sure. ---

> [@kmshrader](#): > > Does down to the skivvies count? I say no, it doesn’t. The fact that I was buck naked, not just down to my skivvies, was what prompted me to ask. We have lockers/showers, too. But at the end of the day, it’s quicker just to change in my office. ---

Last time I checked, most offices have restrooms with private stalls. So no. I’ve never been naked in the stalls either. No reason to be. ---

When I had an office with a door, my girlfriend at the time and I were quite happy it had a lock, if you know what I’m sayin’. ---

Not my current one, but in the past. Recreationally, so to speak. ---

Unfortunately, yes, one of the few times my cycle wasn’t regular as a clock occurred while at work. I had DH bring me clean clothes and changed in my office. ---

Never fully naked but down to underwear. I used to sometimes change in or out of my uniform in our locker room. ---

I canoe and kayak after work, so I change into my paddling togs at work. Mine is a private inner office behind a private outer office, so no one is going to interrupt me when I change. ---

Yeah, I had to go up on the roof to take a look at a condenser unit that was acting up (in my role as Facilities Manager.) This outraged a seagull who had nestlings on top of another condenser. On one of its repeated dives at me, it dropped a bomb in my hair. Shower, no towel, naked until I could comfortably put my clothes back on. ---

Stripped to the waist, and I’m a woman, so it’s a little more significant than with a guy. I had to perform an EKG on myself for certification for a study, and the instructions specified that a woman patient’s bra had to be removed. Not only did I lock the door, I put up a “do not disturb, testing in progress” sign. To be precise, the performance of the EKG was what I was being certified on, not the results - they wanted to know I could perform one, rather than being concerned about whether I had a normal EKG. 😛 (And I did!) ---

I haven’t, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. We have a shower, and a number of people use it after going for a run at lunch, biking to work, etc. If I ever got off my lazy butt enough to follow suit, then I could change my answer.
