Did you look in the mirror before you came to work today?

Have you ever seen someone at work, and you have to seriously consider whether they looked in the mirror before they left work? My story: Business casual dress, but a girl came with a tank top (the kind Hanz and Franz wore on SNL), with a suit coat (not bad), but then took the suit coat off midway through the day. And oh, it was a mans tank because it had the wider arm openings (you can imagine what we all saw with that mistake).

Sometimes my old company would require business class if the stupid CEO was flying in for the day. We had a guy that would get out a suit from the 70's (literally it was brown plaid) when the company demanded we wore business class dress, and he always found a very clashy tie so he looked really ridiculous. IT WAS AWESOME! Hey- it was a suit, what could they say?

Many Many years ago I worked at a school district and was in charge of each schools network. During the summer the schools cut off the AC to save money. One summer I had to rewire several schools and it was blistering hot so I wore shorts and a t-shirt as I was crawling on the roof and in crawl spaces. One day I had to come into my office to retrieve some tools which was in the main district office near the school superintendant. He promptly informed me my dress was not acceptable and not to come into the office area dressed like that again. So I had to keep a suit in my truck and if I went to the office I would first go to the teachers lounge and change, get my tools or whatever, drive back and change back to shorts and a t-shirt...

I kid you not, we have a guy in our office that never wears matching socks. His pants are a little short when he sits, so today I can see he has one white tube sock on that has a green and black stripe at the top, and the other sock is all white.

There is a woman in our office that comes into work sometimes with her hair in pointy spikes. It literally looks like she just woke up, got dressed, and threw gel all over her hair to make points.
