Oh for heavens sake people
Last dressdown friday an email reminder was sent round reiterating that the dressdown policy excluded shorts and sandals for men. Cue the guy who'd come in sandals and shorts having to spend the rest of the day knowing everyone was smirking at him.

When did you last embarass yourself? How about having an official announcement made about you, whether or not it mentioned you by name?

Alt: How would you best serve as a warning to others?

The shorts thing is well sexist though.

I would tell them to fuck right off, if they've got a problem with your dress, send an individual email to you,
not a group email.

I have an amazingly common name so I hear it often
The first person I spoke to at one of our customers the day I joined here had my name. Made for an odd conversation

Me: "Hello, can I speak to (sportscow's real name) please?"
Them: "Can I ask who is calling?"
Me: "(sportscow's real name)"
Them: "Errrrr...... OK"

In a previous job
There was a guy in an other team called Mike Cockhead. Pronounced 'Cock-Head'. Being the clever chap that I am, I got around it by phoning their office and saying 'Can I speak to Mike please?'

'Which Mike do you want? There are two here.'
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 23 Aug 2012, 16:35, Reply)

I do hope this is true
There is a Mike Cox here

"Can I speak to Mike Cox?"
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 23 Aug 2012, 16:37, Reply)

Oh, it's true
I admired the fact that it didn't bother him. I probably would've changed it if it were my name.

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 23 Aug 2012, 16:40, Reply)

one place I temped wouldn't allow men to wear shorts
we asked why, they said "Well there were these guys who came in wearing shorts and went out at lunchtime and got drunk..."

OK, we said, so how did that lead to not being allowed to wear shorts?

"well, they were wearing shorts"

At our primary school they wouldn't let the boys wear bermuda shorts or the girsl wear cycling shorts (i don't know why the girls wanted to wear cyclng shorts, they just did)
and the logic was that some old men have perved on some girls wearing cycling shorts.

Office dress-down policies are almost exclusively introduced by cunts.
We were given a list of what could and couldn't be worn in the office. Combat trousers were out, for example. The following week our boss (the aforementioned cunt) appeared to be wearing something not unlike combats. I enquired as to whether they were combats.

"No Reverend, they're dockers, obviously!"

I asked him to explain the difference. Combats apparently have pockets on the thighs. Well fuck me. Anyway, what do you think he was wearing the following week? You really couldn't make it up.

I work from home now so I couldn't give a fuck now, but it used to wind me up something rotten.

last week, on the phone to a large, fairly important booking for the upstairs bar,
They'd asked for all sorts of food and champagne and it was going to be a big money night, end of the conversation I say "anything else we can do for you sir?" Small pause...other end of the line "its madam actually"...I go bright red, and stammer something incoherent, apologise, slip of the tongue blah blah, day goodbye, hang up. Feel like twat.

I don't know how I'd serve as a warning.
