How about women just being out of dress code at work in general.   There are several who were what amounts to a flip flop or running shoes.  We're business casual but we're not that casual.

Periodically we'll see emails from HR, reminding everyone about some aspect of the dress code. Those emails aren't being sent out because of any men that work in the building. It's because some bitch got pissed at some other bitch.

I teach MS/HS, and there are plenty of grown ass men who take "dress down" day, or "jeans day" way too far.  Shirts untucked, looking sloppy, etc.  If I wear jeans and I'm sporting some team/spirit-wear, I don't care how dorky I look, I'm tucking my t-shirt in.  

[Vic Mackey 47,953]

Tucking in a tshirt is so fucking dorky. And gay.

[skipperj 377]

Yeah. That’s weird.

[ernest_t_bass 1,196]

Considering the circumstance, it's necessary.  The alternative is sloppy. 

[Player 4,610]

They make button up and polo team wear. I have plenty for exactly this situation. “Jeans day” does not mean t-shirts. Period.

One of those went out today from a manager in the only dept that gives a shit about such things... was wondering what might've been the root cause until I was leaving for the day and by far the hottest chick in the building walks by in the tightest little short skirt. She just happens to be in that dept. The manager who sent that out just happens to be an ugly middle aged crotchety cunt.

At my work it's cyclical and like an arms race. Some chick will wear  some heels and then more will start to wear taller and spike-ier heels. Then the skirt lengths will start to go up. Next the cleavage starts to pop out. It's a slow burn. It's also seasonal. Fall/winter it generally starts with the boots and leggings competition. Spring/summer it starts with sandals/sleeveless tops. Always ends the same way, some prude gets offended.

The most impressive abuses of office dress code I have ever seen were in my company's Moscow office (not a troll farm, promise).  Holy shit, it looked like these ho's came straight from the street corner half the time and it was magnificent.

Still, even the Rooskies have limits.  The receptionist got sent home one day to change when she came in wearing some 6 inch stilettos and a mini-skirt with slits on both sides and so short that it barely covered the essentials.  Before she got sent home I told one of my co-workers that I would be doing good if I didn't get fired or arrested that day.

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Not to further derail the thread with dress code talk, but several years ago I was on a project with Chevron and HHI. Several Koreans worked out of our office. One had a fantastic work casual outfit. Black graphic print Metallica shirt, tucked into jeans with a blazer. I bet that dude could easily play video games for 20 hours straight.

Background music on YouTube videos when people are talking.  Enough with this shit, we can't fucking hear you.  Did you listen to the video before you uploaded?  That seemed OK to you?

Sports highlights videos on YouTube where the creator overlays some stupid ass music track instead of the in-game commentary / crowd noise.

Morons that dress up like a cowboy.....you look ridiculous.....

This makes me surly. Managers who don't address specific problems with specific employees but rather send out a group email addressing the issue.

People that put the lower score first when asked about the score to a game.

Example.

Hey what's the score to the Red Sox/Yankees game?

Red Sox are down 1-6.

[NWBuck 8,629]

I think this new website is broken... lots of posts about sloots and dress codes, but the pictures ain't showing up.

As always, I blame imgur.

Ahole next to me eating at bar going Neil Peart on bar countertop as he peruses the menu and repeatedly slams his drink can down.   Nervous little pestilence.  

Of course, I asked him to refrain and he gave me the “just arrived to planet Earth” look.   Friggin’ dummy.

That’s trivial. Bravo.

I cannot stand any live feed to a sporting event that doesn’t include a score/essential info every second of the feed. I hate walking by the screen and waiting minutes to know time/inning/score.

One of the flip sides of working in a "fun" city - every time there's some gaggle of executive jabronis meeting in town, it's very "we're in Austin!" and sacks of cold breakfast tacos arrive in the breakroom at 10:30, nanner pudding and maybe some sides at 2.  I haven't quite identified why this is mildly irksome.

Yeah. Free food is bad.

[Hunchback 51]

Agreed. Cold breakfast tacos still equals breakfast tacos. Not sure how this makes anybody surly.

[Cheeseweasel 26,439]

Free food is the best food.

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

You can’t just casually stroll into a Texas based forum and complain about free breakfast tacos, cold or not. Just not how things work.

I'm eating barely warm free breakfast tacos as I type this and am not the least bit surly about it.

The fact that my neighbor seems perfectly content to let a family of birds live in his range exhaust vent. This has little impact on me other than the constant noise of chirping birds, but it just bothers me for some reason.

My 14yo son:  In the winter, if it's above 30, he's wearing shorts.

My 14yo son:  It was 90 degrees out the other day and we were going to our town's Memorial Day parade.  He tried to leave the house with a hoodie.

How often does anyone use a range exhaust fan? Mine probably gets turned on 3-4 times a year. And definitely not during bird nesting season.

Quite a bit if we're cooking and it's hot as hell outside. So basically 8 months a year in Houston.

Regardless, theirs is likely filled up with bird shit inside directly above where food is prepared. Obviously it doesn't bother them though so oh well.

[huge 3,831]

Every time I use my range I hit the fan.
