Mighty, ^^^^ I did that, too in the earlier days of s....I got dressed up and fabulous to go to H house and pick up my mail.... I'd prep myself mentally to have no expectations, smile, and be busy. Even the 30 second exchange and the look on his face (intrigued and wondering) was worth the effort.

I would have done the same exact thing. Just to get out. Just to not give any appearance that I was waiting around.... Good for you for taking that moment and OWNING it. No matter what the thought is on the other end.... You know you look good, and that's what matters.
