That basically sucks, even when there&#8217;s little you can do about it. Going out to find a new job because of that is rather drastic.<\/p>\n<h2>Another side of things<\/h2>\n<p>One day at work, this past hot summer, I had a very interesting encounter. A co-worker came to me and whispered, &#8220;I saw you in your car yesterday&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-650\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/drivenude-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/drivenude-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/drivenude.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/>The reason for her whisper was that she&#8217;d seen me just before driving off. When it&#8217;s really hot I don&#8217;t want to wear clothes in my car so once in there I take everything off before leaving the parking lot. Since the building where I work is in town it&#8217;s hardly surprising someone sees me. Honestly I don&#8217;t care one bit about that. It&#8217;s my car and my sanity. If they really want to look into my car they should be prepared to deal with what they see.<\/p>\n<p>To said co-worker I said, &#8220;Good for you. Have you tried it yourself?&#8221; Hardly surprising that the answer was &#8216;no&#8217;, followed by the question why on earth I was doing that. Was I some kind of exhibitionist?<\/p>\n<p>No. I am not. I simply want to be comfortable and I did my best to explain that to my co-worker. Of course the concept of being comfortable made sense, but&#8230; &#8220;we have air conditioning for that.&#8221; This response is the default for modern people. I explained that taking your clothes off often makes that you don&#8217;t have to switch on the A\/C in your car. Nor in your home if you have such a thing there and that is a huge cost saver. That information in turn triggered even more disbelief because &#8220;you don&#8217;t walk around naked at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To that I could only say, &#8220;Wrong. I do. <em>You<\/em> clearly don&#8217;t, but that&#8217;s not my problem.&#8221; It was nice to turn things around. Dear co-worker wanted to make my way of life <em>my<\/em> problem but with a simple statement I turned that into the opposite. It also made for a surprised person who had nothing more to add.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I drove home naked that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before In a previous post I wrote about telling the people at work about your lifestyle.
