23:36:05) Rachel: omg
(23:36:18) Rachel: so i had 2 boxes i was putting in the garbage chute
(23:36:35) Rachel: as i was going out, steven, the ortho boy across the hall, said hi to me
(23:36:38) Rachel: and i just realized
(23:37:04) Rachel: i was wearing a tank top under my shirt, and i took off my overshirt right now and completely forgot about it
(23:37:09) Rachel: so he saw me in my tank top
(23:37:40) Rachel: eeeep
(23:37:51) Rachel: if he hadn't been ortho it wouldn't have been so bad
(23:37:56) Rachel: but aaaaaah
(23:38:09) Ariela Housman: steven?
(23:38:13) Ariela Housman: i don't think i know him
(23:38:22) Rachel: he's a freshman. he's from texas
(23:38:28) Rachel: i don't know him so well
(23:38:32) Rachel: but he exists
(23:38:39) Rachel: and has now seen me in a tank top
(23:39:09) Ariela Housman: technically speaking, shomer tzniut obligation falls on the man
(23:39:23) Ariela Housman: he isn't supposed to allow himself to see women clad inappropriately
(23:39:28) Ariela Housman: so it's his fault, not yours
(23:40:11) Rachel: well he was just walking to his room
(23:40:37) Rachel: and i'm pretty sure orthodoxy would say if i'm leaving my room, it's my responsibility to dress appropriately
(23:40:56) Ariela Housman: halachically speaking, that's not the case
(23:41:00) Ariela Housman: it's just mesorah
(23:41:13) Ariela Housman: or minhag, rather
(23:42:17) Rachel: well if halacha includes daat torah...
(23:42:19) Rachel: i dunno
(23:42:24) Rachel: i feel really icky now

yeah. this is the first time in almost a year since i've been untznius in front of a guy. i guess i wouldn't have been as freaked out if someone not jewish had seen me. and he's the only orthodox guy on the floor. great. gotta love my luck
