What Casual Friday craziness did you see today?

[mmcguire]

Many of us have casual Friday at our offices, and there's always one person who goes off the deep end and comes to work dressed like a hobo or worse.

Just a minute ago I saw a 40+ year old lady in the restroom with bleached blond frizzy hair in a ponytail, wearing a kelly green soccer jersey with a big red number on the back, a white skirt that flared at the bottom, and pair of 3-inch high heeled black microfiber shoes with orange and red flames coming up from the bottom.

What did YOU see at your office today?

A 40-something woman in our office has on a white lacy top, neon yellow pants, and a pair of white leather flats (loafer style) with white socks on.

I'm the office hobo today. Faded, baggy capris and my Rolling Stones "US Tour 1972" t-shirt with the big ol' tongue logo. And flip flops.

Another 40+ woman, wearing overalls (80's style), flower shirt...but the kicker is she wears these white slip on shoes with skulls on them , but she wears these shoes almost every day...even with skirts

Well it's not my office but my sisters office. And there is a 40's something woman there with frizzy auburn hair super tight shorts so she has a GIANT muffin top going and a very worn out white ginny tee with a hot pink bra underneath! And to top it all of she has on a pair of 3" heel's that are clear plastic with sparkles!

My work environment is 100% casual, so I see the craziness every day!

Must be something w/ the 40's
My first casual Friday at my job, now 16 years ago, a girl wore spandex biker shorts a/ a short top on. Now this is a Fortune 100 technology company. Did not fly. She had to go home and change quickly.
I, on the other hand wore a sundress and sandals until I figured out what they called casual.
Funny thread!

This wasn't today, but years ago, this 20-something guy that worked in the mailroom at my office came in wearing one of those tank shirts with gigantic armholes that go about down to the waist. The front is only like 8 inches wide and it's really loose, so you can totally see his whole hairy (yet buff) chest!

Honestly, why bother wearing a shirt at all?

I think he got sent home to change, IIRC.

Oh Dear, If Only I Could Remember Some Of The Scary Outfits I Have Come Across In My Day!!

And this is why we cannot have casual Friday at my Company anymore.

Well, not only was I dressed like a hobo, but our director of operations came in today in bike shorts, a bright green t-shirt, crew socks, and I assume he had some shoes somewhere, but he was padding through the office without them.

One of the interns at work took the cake today. She baffles me with some of her outfits. Today's catch of the day was a very low cut tight brown shirt (and she's well endowed up top), very tight white cropped pants (so tight you could see her cellulite) and chunky white platform shoes. I don't think she did the turnaround test in front of the mirror before she left for work this morning. It was...interesting to say the least.

I get a kick out of my young co-worker, who is re-doing the 80s. Today she had on a black and white polka dotted skirt, a white short waisted blazer and a black ruffled shirt ala Prince before the symbol. And white pumps...I about fell out when I saw those. She also had the big Woody Woodpecker bangs going that we all had in the 80s. I'm so glad Im too old to go through that mess a second time!

Uusually casual Fridays are more about watching the older women dress like hos. And they never disappoint!! More than a few have been sent home for too much butt or too much cleavage showing - you'd THINK people would know that isn't exactly the tone management wants to set - but somehow the same ones end up doing it week after week. Its pretty astonishing to watch.....I guess some people just like to stand out even if its not in a good way.

 

[OK!]

I no longer work in an office, but when I did, a guy came in one Friday wearing a muscle tee with the giant armholes, and he....shouldn't have. He talked constantly about working out and I guess was trying to show off the results of his efforts. But you know--I don't care how magnificent your body is, gentlemen; I don't want to see your armpit hair at work!

I've seen men come in, in ripped stained jeans, and a ratty tshirt. The sadder part...the maintenance men better dressed than they are. The younger girls wear skin tight jeans. This is an office ladies, not a club.

One lady in my department tries too hard to dress younger than she is. She is in her mid 40's but tries to dress like a 20 year old. Nothing inappropriate for an office, just for her age. Some days it's really hard to take her seriously.

Well when I worked at a corporate travel agency in Center City, Philadelphia 19 years ago we all lived for casual Fridays. Then someone almost blew it for us, but instead of taking it away from all of us, a big bulletin flashed accross the message area say no spurs aloud.
That person who thought he was working in the wild, wild west got the message loud and clear. Theres always one that will try to take a mile.
