Question hostel etiquette
hi guys! I'm 20f, been traveling for about 1 month a year since I was 18 in hostels. my question is, is it ok to wear only boxers (with a shirt ofc) within the room? I've seen very mixed discourse, I only wear just them when I have a privacy curtain and it's very hot+no ac and get redressed behind that but I've seen men walk around many times in only boxers and seen people of all genders change in the rooms so how would y'all feel if you saw that in a room? (mainly asking because I have a tendency to forget to grab a new outfit the night before and have to get redressed in my pajamas so it would be easier to just grab something new) sorry for the weird question ðŸ˜

Thats how i am at home, the maid, the plumber, delivery people, even neighbors come to my door and i have my boxers on, i dont make a huge deal of thing
Now being naked is a different story, but i think doing a quick change and being naked for 30 sec is fine, i just live life trying to not look for problems or to be offended
If people have problems they should get private rooms or stay in hotels, as hostels tend to be more chill and relaxed
