So, the boss says "lets all wear our shorts tomorrow". So, I get up this morning, put on my best dressy shorts, gun barrel blue cargo shorts, and a really nice black t-shirt. I get to work, and yes, the boss has his gay khaki's and 80s Izod (really 70s, looked more like a 'ZOOM' kids shirt). He walks into my office and says, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING??. I retort, 'You said we were going to wear our shorts today'. His reply was, ' I didn't mean for you to dress like a bum, you should've worn a sport-shirt with those shorts'. The problem is, he had to make a scene in front of the sales staff, to let them know who was the 'big dog'. My reply to him was, "oh, I'm sorry, all my douchebag shirts are at the Yuppie cleaners".
He's really mad at me, as of 19 hundred and 49 hours, Central Daylight Time, but the sales staff thinks I'm God now.
You're not like the others, "winnard" <8tra...@cox.net>... you like the same things I do! Wax paper! Boiled football leather! Dog breath!

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours." (General Sir Charles Napier)

Gay men never wear blue with black--that was his problem!

I'm all for promoting regular folks to management and connecting with the common folk and such, but to be fair, unless it's a auto repair shop, you probably should have worn a collar.

I had a sales manager that loved to berate us in front of others. One day when he was doing that I just said "Fuck you Stan" in a mild voice and walked off. He never said a word about it. He was without a doubt my worst boss ever. He had apparently been a great salesman and they promoted him to SM.

I was, on occasion, one of those bosses. It wasn't that I loved to do it in front of the customers, but that the employee was lackadasical. I genuinely believed he could do better if they wanted to. I can't stand irresponsibility.

IAWTP. As a straight guy who makes some effort to be somewhat up-to- date, wearing brown shoes with navy blue pants just seems....wrong. Your leather, shoes and belt, must always be the darkest color on you. I solved this problem by not owning any navy blue pants.
That's why I never wear white tennis shoes with blue jeans. NEVER

Dood, this is so, uh, GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides, the fashion rule is never wear navy and black. Other shades of blue can go with black.

So, your answer was to humiliate someone in front of his coworkers? That's pretty irresponsible on your part. (If the employee is worth keeping, you should treat them with respect...if not, get rid of them)
