Guy Thought He'd Have The House To Himself The Entire Week, Wonders If He's The A-hole For Getting Caught Naked By Unexpectedly Early Roommate
Walking around the house naked can be a liberating experience. But before you do so, make sure the neighbors can't see you by keeping those curtains down and doors shut.
Even experts agree that sometimes, it's good to be naked at home. It gives you a sense of empowerment and body acceptance.
Struggling with body image concerns has unfortunately become increasingly common in today's society. Taking time to be at home and observe your naked body can help you come to accept yourself as normal just the way you are.
After you've accepted your body, you'll experience a sense of comfort within yourself, feeling liberated and completely at ease. Your relaxation levels are at their peak, making it nearly impossible for stress to linger.
Create a cozy atmosphere by drawing the curtains, lighting candles, playing soothing music, and embracing nudity once you get home from work. Embrace the freedom as nakedness will quickly make any lingering stress from your mind disappear.
But despite the exhilarating feeling it provides, you might want to think twice about doing it when you have a roommate. You'd end up like this Redditor, otherwise.
A guy decided to walk around the house naked because his roommate told him he'd be back in a week. A few days later, while he was taking a shower, he decided to check on the cake he was baking.
He was butt naked when his roommate suddenly came home. Unfortunately, the roommate saw his manhood.
Now, things have been awkward between them. The guy decided to share the story with the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit and be judged by online users after what happened.
The Redditor asks:

According to the original poster (OP), he had the entire house to himself.

The roommate was supposed to be away for a week. But he got back early and was shocked to see the OP butt naked.
The roommate got upset, and now, the OP wonders if he's in the wrong for walking around the house without any clothes on.

While the OP wasn't considered the a-hole, he was advised not to be naked while cooking as hot surfaces could cause burns..

This is one bad idea when naked at home.

The roommate should've at least told the OP that he'll be coming home earlier than expected.

The two guys need to state clear boundaries about nakedness at home.

At least, the OP now knows that when his roommate says he'll be away for a week, it isn't necessarily true.

The roommate probably didn't like the idea of the OP sitting on the couch without anything on.

The best advice for this situation is for both guys to set clear expectations while they're living together.

The OP may not be considered the a-hole for going out of the bathroom butt-naked to check on his cake. But at the same time, he might want to consider his roommate's feelings on the matter.
The guy might have hygiene concerns, which could explain why he's upset. The next best step is to create clear rules about which things are allowed in their home.
