    I hate seeing nurses in tight scrubs too. There really is no excuse to wear them at my work because we have to wear hospital provided scrubs, and there's a huge shelf with all sizes. So if one is too tight just grab the next size up. You wouldn't think it would be too hard, but I guess it is for a few of them, lol.
    My sister in law wears her scrubs so tight, I don't see how she gets anything done.

  2. I was laughing at a co-worker during an RRT because her pants were so tight every time she reached for something out of the lower drawers of the code cart she kept showing everyone her butt crack. She later confessed that she was embarrassed and stopped wearing such tight pants to work.

    Some brands of scrubs are cut to be more sexy than functional. Slim pants with no side pockets to carry anything. Tops with two tiny front pockets that don't have compartments. The most you can carry in them are a few pens and a flush or two. Pants so thin and tight you can see the color of flesh or the print of their panties...if they wear them.

    Repeat post.
  4. I have a co-worker who wears her pants so tight that the seams are literally pulling apart. On top of that, she folds the waistband down so that they're even more low riding than they were to begin with. One day, a resident was trying to pinch her butt and said "I don't know what size pants you've squeezed yourself into but they're so tight I can't even pinch them up!" Every time she bends over, we all see about 4 inches of buttcrack. She isn't a slim jim either. The difference is that she isn't embarrassed in the slightest.

    Another co-worker wears lacy, ruffled thongs and g-strings. I know this because every time she bends over, her panties are several inches above the waistline of her pants.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. I used to wear tight scrubs just starting out as a CNA at 16. However, I quickly learned that was not professional for work. Besides, I was uncomfortable which restricted me during patient care. I come to work to do my job and go home, not to look like a sex bomb.

    I also hate tattoos. I will probably get beat up for saying this, but they are just trashy and ugly and I don't know why anyone wants to get them. There. Let the beatings begin.
    No beatings from me. When I was 16, I was stupid enough to get a tatoo. Thank goodness I was atleast smart enough to get it on my upper back so no one ever sees it. I hate tats too. They look a mess when you get old.

    This is only slightly related but the "sex bomb" comment reminded me of something. My best friend and I used to work at a SEWING FACTORY. The daily garb was jeans and a t-shirt. You got dirty from the dyes in the jeans, oil from the machines, etc, etc, etc.

    My friend? She came to work every day dressed like she was going to the club. The men stared and the woman talked. She had no idea how much everyone was making fun of her.

    Wow! That is crazy!
  9. Which part of his grace covers a condescending, smarmy attitude?
    Altra, kids, bluemushroom, and 1 other like this.

    - Personal hygiene must be adhered to. (not sure how this one is enforced- would you really go up to an emoloyee and tell them they stink?)
    I've done it, in a previous career...hardest thing I ever had to do.
