OK fellas! Question for ya. Need serious answers.
When I go out to get the paper in the morning (usually 6:30 am or earlier), should I wear:
A - my bathrobe (dressing gown for you British guys) and socks.
B - my pajama bottoms and socks.
I've been doing B but my back's a bit on the hairy side and I'm starting to worry about freaking out the neighbors! (grin)
I'd thought about A but my robe is kind of torn up and washed out and I'm not sure they'd want to see that either.
On a related note... when I go out to check the mail or do yard work on weekends, I've been wearing just jogging pants [trousers], socks and sport shoes. But as above, I'm starting to think I should wear a top too.
So what do you guys think?

PS Just so you know ... when I'm getting the paper or the mail, I'm just in front of my house and not going anywhere else (like the post office, shops etc.)

man who cares what they think. it isn't like you are going to a formal dinner at their place. if you are going to get the mail, it shouldn't be a big deal what you wear. i go out in my boxers with no shoes on in the winter. if they think i am crazy then oh well. if you are mowing the yard and it is hot, you have just as much a right to not wear a shirt as the next guy. some people like us are hairy. i like to think i have a higher testosterone level. i tell them they can be like me when they hit puberty some day. as long as you are comfortable do what you have to do. if they don't like it they can turn around.

Have to go with the throw a t-shirt on as well, however you might want to invest on a robe for those quick runs out side. Since you asked the question obviously it's a "issue" for you so yard work should be done in a t as well...

When you are stepping out to get the mail real quick just make sure the bottom half is covered in at least boxers if they are the colored ones. When doing the lawn shorts, long pants, something on your feet. Don't be so uptight unless you are trying to impress some one then get fully dressed. I bet half of your neighbors wear their boxers to get the mail, dang they look like shorts.

My neighbor gals don't wear anything to get the paper, the mail, or do yard work!
We live in a nudist colony in Florida!!!
Everyone is beautiful, though, at first impulse a man might want to hump them all, it soon wears off, and, we start to genuinely appreciate their inner beauty.
But, it sure is nice to enjoy everyone in a totally relaxed atmosphere, unlike the rest of the world, where everyone hides behind a fascade of ugly printed fabric!
'Who shot the couch?' we all say, when we have to dress to go get groceries! Believe you me, we don't usually wear undergarments, and also, can't wait to get home to shed those dirty clothes!
Our skin is very much healthier for it! Try it! Invitation only...

Wear a top too. Don't freak out the neighbors. Either that or get your back waxed and go from there.
If all else fails, get a new bath robe.

Just throw on a t-shirt and wear your pajama bottoms. If you wear your bathrobe, you will either look like an old man or a perv.

Who cares what you wear when you go out for a couple of seconds to get your mail!!! Just go out there in whatever you happen to be wearing! I don't think anyone's judging you on you fashion sense or lack thereof. You're obsessing over a very trivial thing!!!

Pull jogging pants over the pajama bottoms. The shirt is up to you.

B - just add a tank top or T-shirt.
You might want to add flip flops to protect your feet from accidentally stepping on some glass or anything like that.
