Now I’m not trying to pick on people that have a little extra poundage. God knows I could lose a few to say the least. However...

So I’m standing at work yesterday and a coworker comes in wearing incredibly short shorts. The downside, she’s 5’2” and pushing the 300 lb mark. It’s not just the shorts, it’s the yoga pants. Like I work with more women than men, but most are rather obese, and ALL of them wear yoga pants. I don’t get it, because it’s not sexy, or workplace appropriate. We don’t have a dress code, so anything goes as the liberal female that owns the company is in lala land.

Anyways, am I just getting old and jaded? I thought that at one point in our society, people were somewhat conservative about showing off their body, especially if it’s not aesthetically pleasing.

Do any of you all have to deal with situations like this? Does it make you feel uncomfortable having someone half naked around all day long, spilling out if their clothes?

***Edit
I should have mentioned, we have a couple guys who wear skinny jeans or leggings (yoga pants). It’s not good.

"Girl, you look like a busted can of biscuits."

If she files a complaint, deny everything.
If she goes full wildebeest, sprint.
If she laughs, you've made a lifelong friend.

That's better than "candy a**."

LOL. This is something I've seen for decades. People have been trying to push the boundaries of good taste in casual attire at work and then complaining about others to protect their delicate eyes if they don't like an individual's look. Locally this seemed to happen more after the creation of "casual Fridays" From flip flops, to halter tops, to spandex, daisy dukes, belly shirts, sprayed on jeans, yoga pants, political, provocative message, non-company brand t-shirts, tank tops, stripper spike heels, etc etc. yes there are many that dress more provocatively than they should. There are also some that look really good in those outfits, which curiously rarely seemed to get as many complaints, well, at least by males.

That said, for the companies I've worked for that had these issues (most of them), the fix was simple. Detailed dress code that every employee signed. If they ignore it they get sent home to change into something more appropriate. they don't get paid during that period, so they have to make the time. Everyone was told, if you're not sure it's appropriate, either ask first or bring an alternative along you know is acceptable to avoid problems. There were always a couple stubborn fools that insisted on testing the policy early but they either got with the program or left the company.

FL person here. The higher the temp, the more confidence the morbidly obese get with dawning things they shouldn't be wearing.

Wal-Mart is a good place to see people who have more breasts on their back than they do on their front.

Millenial "men" with the skinny jeans and muffin tops....lol

I guess it's better than the trend where pants were halfway off everyone's a**.

Both are equally stupid. Guys with skinny jeans are just ugly chicks...

Amen , Rat's got it right

Look, if I want to wear yoga pants and weigh 400lbs and make you see my baby maker squeezed in between my thighs and F.U.D.A. you're just gonna need to deal with it.

But seriously, people should wear proper work attire. If you're in a manufacturing job, jeans and maybe some leathers should be on your mind regardless of comfort ability. Better protection against accidents in the workplace and that's something they should be more concerned about than being comfortable. Embrace that swamp.

Thanks for the replies. I think I’ll just deal with the PTSD.

Safety hazards at work are the only thing I would personally ever speak up about, unless the person in question is literally showing labia, cameltoe or nipples.

Tight clothes are unfortunately better in that environment than loose ones, so yeah, visit the eye-wash station once in a while instead maybe. :P

your cottage cheese moose knuckle is showing

If you got it, flaunt it!
