Over a bottle of red wine, in the corner of an intimate and low-lit bistro, the deep fat fryer sizzling gently in the background, and a few locals fighting outside ... "So, babes, what's going on?" :twisted:

Red wine? Surely Devon's finest tonic wine!! It reaches the parts that others just fail to reach....

in fairness.....

that wine is reddish.........

AT,

Man up. If you know there isn't anything wrong with your attire and how you carry yourself then confront the issue (in the most professional manner), stand your ground, gain your respect and then after you've won go to the gents toilet to look at yourself in the mirror and kiss your biceps.

Now *that* was proper laugh-out-loud funny!

You are going to have to address the matter sooner or later. So take a deep breath and walk purposely to her office. Do not waiver. Confidently ask "Fancy a sh*g?"

There is something to be said that the majority of people in this thread acknowledge have said "if its not you then its her and she probably just fancies you/needs a good seeing to".

Invite her for a drink/have it out with her/talk about sex and possible James Bond attire you could wear/cheekily tell her she should wear pencil skirts and have her hair down. Let her admit to herself that she's got the 'horn' for you. Once you have the power she'll be buying you lunch and making you teas on demand.

[Dress codes, for example, can only go as far as to be equally applicable to both sexes. Thus, if dress for men is a suit and tie, dress for women cannot, legally, be a nurse's costume and fishnets.

Just wait until I'm Prime Minister. That sort of ridiculous law is first on my hit list. After that, it'll be nurse's costumes and fishnets for 50% of the population. Compulsory.

Its funny how other peoples posts can affect you!

I usually shave every 3 days due to me working on a nicer environment but yesterday I found myself in front of the mirror going for it again after 2 days thinking about my poor colleagues suffering my sticky little hairs coming out of my face!!!

What are you DOING to your colleagues?

So AT, have you confronted her yet?

Its amazing, given all the legal arguments/debates/conversations you have had on here AT. I would expect you to be the last person to be mistreated with this kind of nonsense. And lets face it, it is nonsense.

An organisation can have a dresscode, in some places they can even specify what colour clothing you must wear, but this is a code that all staff have to adhere to. No one person manager or otherwise can tell an individual the exact type of clothes, price, brand or quality (i.e. "you must wear £350 shoes and only these shoes") they want them to wear unless they set a precedent for all staff.

Same with you as well LiT's. Say what you might about "it being their company", asking you to wear heels instead of flats is a law suit waiting to happen at its very worse. It could also in someways be considered sexual harrassment, what if after that they asked you to wear skirts not trousers, tops with deep plunges and fishnet stockings? Where does it stop? Asking you to sack someone on the grounds that they were fat. Can't believe you stood for that to be honest.

Oh well.
