I think it's the fact that in face to face encounters we expect to be fully clothed and put together. We expect others to put their best foot forward, although sometimes not doing so can work to our advantage. Take, for example, one of my partners over at Digital Associations. Robert has jury duty this morning and showed up without shaving, hoping to be bumped because he looks like a "mountain man." We shall see, but the concept is valid. I enquired about whether he bathed or not, which may well clinch the deal for him if he plays it right. :p
You just never know.
Meanwhile, I think I'll make the effort to get ready for my lunch appointment in the more socially acceptable way instead of PJ's. This is a college town, but even here that would indeed be Scandalous.
By the way, if anybody sees these extraordinarily awesome shoes on sale, will you give me a holler? I'm on a budget.
