Where I work everyone shares the same open office. It’s also a middle school. So make my vote a _heeeelll no._ ---

While I’m in a cube farm these days, I’ve had my own private\* office a few times along the way, and more often than that been in a shared office that was private other than that, and was safe to change in after my officemates had left for the day. Which I did. \*Private for the purposes of this thread, i.e. you don’t share it with anyone, you can lock the door, and no one outside can see you when the door’s shut. ---

Yes. And a couple of times, I was lucky enough to have a lady gettin’ nekkid with me. 😃 ---

Since I’ve never had an office and I’m a bit too shy to strip down in a cubicle, I voted no. But the last place I worked before retiring had locker rooms with showers, so there was no reason to get nekkid anywhere else. ---

Yes, for exactly the same reason as the OP: Bicycle commuter. Before I got a promotion and an office with a door, I used to use a small conference room to change in the afternoon. ---

Frequently, but it’s a home office. I’ve even talked to clients on the phone while au naturel! (Not video calls . . .) ---

Partially, and it was my boss’s office. Um, I should probably explain that ;). 1. he was gay, and not remotely interested in anything I had to offer 2. He was not in the office at the time, and 3. I was using it to pump milk for my infant daughter. He was a bit startled to come in one day (a day he was not normally at work) and find a sign saying KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING on his own door. Fortunately for both of us, he did in fact knock. There was a story, many years ago, in the City Paper (I think) by a man detailing all the trials and tribulations he and his wife went through to try to get pregnant. There was the day he needed to produce a fresh sample. He didn’t have an office of his own, but his boss _never_ came in early so he decided to take advantage of the empty room. More precisely _ **she** _ never came in early before (or ever again, I’d imagine). ---

My office is my living room, so yes, many times. ---

Other. I’ve never worked in an office, but one miserably hot and humid afternoon I was working on a piano, had the non-air conditioned building to myself (working in the shop behind the showroom). I locked the front doors, put up the CLOSED sign, and worked butt-nekkid for a couple of hours. I was a lot more comfortable physically, but felt sillier than shit.
