  Lint to Google search results that contains several links to articles about the situation. Hopefully one will work outside the US.

  https://www.google.com/search?q=nude+yard+work+florida&rlz=1C1LENN_enUS497US497&oq=nude+yard+work+florida&aqs=chrome..69i57.16917j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

  I wonder if driving nude would be similarly permitted?
  I have wanted to try it on my winter vacations in FL but my wife is concerned that I could wind up in jail.

  I just did a search on Bing, "Florida man does nude yard work" and had more than one article or video of a newscast come up.

  This story and all the ones I can find on line are from September 2018.
  It would be interesting to know what has happened since this story first appeared.
  Is there anyone from that that could provide an update?

  [quote]If you want to do your yard work nude you should move to Florida. This story is written in an amusing way but it is factually accurate. https://rare.us/rare-news/across-the-u-s-a/florida-man-naked-yard-work/[/quote] LOL...Very good story!

  [quote]Unable to open it as I don't live in the USA.[/quote] I copied the article for you here.... A Florida man who has been doing his yard work in his birthday suit has his neighbors upset because, apparently, theyve forgotten they live in Florida and that this is probably the least terrible bad thing that could happen near their homes. There arent any Scientologists kidnapping children for a galactic slave army or bath salt addled demon hobos chowing down on faces. There arent even any giant lizards hanging out in a backyard because they smell small children that they want to eat. The only snake terrorizing the neighborhood is attached to this guy. Consider yourselves lucky, people. The residents of the Stuart, Florida neighborhood say the man regularly does nude yard work and walks around his property a la natural, and that theyre not too happy the part of their neighbors body most resembling the state they live in is on full display as he works on his car in the front yard and pulls weeds. Several neighbors have called the police on the man but according to the law in that area, because the man is on his own property and is pulling weeds rather than himself, everything is legal. In fact, what the man is doing is so legal that every time the Sheriffs department has shown up at the behest of a distraught neighbor the man answers the door naked. The police are then, presumably after a long sigh, forced to explain that Florida law (of course) sides with the penis exposer, and must inform the naked mans neighbors that if they dont want to see this guys dong its on them not to look at it. Its just the way of life it seems. One neighbor was upset when she came outside Sunday night to put out the trash and saw her neighbor naked, bent over, and winding up his hose (his hose in this instance being the one he uses to water his lawn, making everything legal). Theres no doubt the view of the neighborhood is extremely interesting for people making a shortcut through the neighborhood. Neighbors have expressed concerns over the neighborhood kids seeing the naked mans genitals but, really, if they cared about their children not being exposed to wildly inappropriate things they wouldnt be raising them in Florida.

  Would have liked to have read it, however it will not permit out of country access! :(

  The person writing the article obviously had a lot of fun with it.

  Good to know the residents need not fear giant lizards! We Aussies should be so lucky!

  Having said that, Florida sounds like a great choice for those migrating to the USA.

  I lived there for a while, on the Sun (western) Coast. It was murderously hot in the summer, and the roaches were bigger than the mice. But except for the occasional alligator intrusion, it was a nice place to live.

  Several people I know spend a little over half the year in FL and the rest in NJ. That would appeal to me so I would avoid extreme heat and cold.

  I've been to Florida too many times already. The hot humid weather well into September had me wanting to go home and everywhere I went it smelled like rotting vegetation.

They can also avoid paying state income tax by doing so.

  Dont see why driving in the nude would cause any problems. Ive never even heard of a law that deals with any clothing requirements while driving. I mean we all should be wearing seatbelts and I might want basic shoes. And if leather seats, a towel to sit on. But until you get out of the car, you wont have broken any laws that I have ever heard of. Depending where youre at when you get out, nudity may be perfectly acceptable and legal.

That's why I don't drive nude. I would rather have shorts on and the top off than the other way around and don't want to risk doing both.

I guess it may come down to a magistrate's decision depending on the circumstances (passing truck, pedestrians near an intersection when stopped). Not sure where the concern about bare feet comes from. I routinely do it in summer and it feels normal after a few minutes on the first try. Flip flops are way more dangerous than bare feet.

  I feel the same way and always drive barefoot if I am wearing flip flops somewhere.

  I have checked the bare feet issue more thoroughly and found that no state prohibits bare feet driving. Flip flops and high heels are legal too, but I don't think that they are as safe as the bare foot operating the pedals.

No state has ever had any laws requiring a normal citizen to wear shoes anytime, anywhere, for any reason. All of the laws that require people to wear shows are regarding employers and employees (health code and OSHA). If you don't own the business and you don't work there, you don't have to wear shoes. No state has ever required non-commercial drivers to wear shoes. I'm looking at moving to either Oregon or Vermont because of their favorable laws regarding nudity. Anyone live in either of those states and know first hang what it's like living there as a nudist?

Have you experienced such situations?

At the last big box store I worked, we had a 3rd party vendor (Pepsi) show up in sandals operating one of our pallet jacks. He was told to either put on real shoes, or cease using our equipment (Moving heavy pallets of soda heavy from his truck to the sales floor). John aka cobeachbum

  I would never think of going into a place of business without a shirt and something more substantial on my feet that flip flops. Besides, I hate the sound of flip flops and just grit my teeth when others are wearing them within earshot.
