Last night, I was relaxing out in the hot tub. I came inside for a drink, when the doorbell starts ringing. I ignored it the first time, but when it kept ringing, I thought maybe it was an emergency. I peeked outside, and OF COURSE it's the bishopric!

No one from our ward ever calls, they always just show up and it drives me crazy. But thanks to RFM, I had a good idea to show them how inappropriate it is to just randomly show up at 8 uninvited.

I positioned my towel so it covered my bikini, and let my hair fall in a way that covered the straps. I answered the door. The look on their faces was priceless, they totally thought I was naked!

I said, "Hello, can I help you?"

Them: "Hi, we're just checking in on some of our members, like we do every Tuesday night." (I feel bad for their families if this is truely how every Tuesday night is spent)

Me: "Oh, I had NO IDEA you were coming over! I probably would have put some clothes on!"

Them: "Is your husband home?"

Me: "He's not. Had he known you were coming, perhaps he would have been here." (My husband is still TBM, just an inactive one).

Them: "It's been awhile since we've seen you at church. We were afraid you moved."

Me:" nope, we're still here."

Awkward silence

Them: "Did we come at a bad time?"

At this point I let the towel fall so my bikini top is exposed. Bishop's eyes do some major googling.

Me: "Yes, actually. I was out in my hottub and clearly unprepared for visitors. Plus, aren't you supposed to make sure the husband is home? I thought men couldn't visit women alone in their homes."

Them: "Well, we have other people to visit, so we have to run. Have a good night, we'll try again soon!"

Out of respect for my husband, I wasn't as rude as I wanted to be. But I've read so many stories about answering the door in a towel, I couldn't resist when the opportunity presented itself! I only with I had thought to say "What is wanted?" first!

Priceless. Thanks for sharing ;-)

Awesome! Don't you wish you had a camera for their faces?

If they were thinking you were naked under that towel they stayed longer than any truly TBM shoulda. ; )

I'm just about immodest enough now to open the door to Mormons totally naked just to see what happens.

We don't call it immodest. That is a Mormon word. We call it, comfortable with ones body. I'm not that comfortable with my body.

I died laughing when you said your towel dropped to reveal your bikini top. Oh my god. Awesome.

Oh happy day!

I so wish I had gone inside to get something alcoholic instead of water, that would have been even more awesome. I normally clam up when church people come over, so it felt good to put them in their place on my turf. If anything, hopefully they learned the value in calling before visiting, at least for our family!

Hey, do the alcohol for the next time they visit ;-)

That system works for more than annoying unannounced LDS visits!
Fun reading the interchange!!

That's awesome!!!

Haha! A most excellent story! Great job, WakingUpVegas. :-)

That's priceless. And I am surprised they stayed, maybe just trying to be cool. Love it that you said "aren't you supposed to make sure the husband is home? I thought men couldn't visit women alone in their homes."
Hahaha, serves them right.

"Hi, we're just checking in on some of our members, like we do every Tuesday night."

I wonder how "some of their members" were doing after seeing you in a towel/ bikini?

OK, I literally laughed out loud. That is so funny. You handled it brilliantly. Two thumbs up.

Too bad you didn't have any 70's music playing in the back ground.

Since they said "We'll try again soon" I think next time you should do the "What is wanted?"routine when you answer the door.

Keep 'em wondering what you'll have, be, say, or do every time they come to your door!

Only next time leave the towel off.

Bikini, Glass of wine, 70's rock playing in background, Grateful Dead, Tom petty, Boston, Ozzie,, something like that.

Either way, that was Awesome!!

I'm loving all these ideas, nice! And now that I know Tuesdays are apparently "Visit inactives day", I have time to come up with Round Two. I hope they bring missionaries or the Relief Society Presidency next time ;)

Awesome!!
