I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

Published

Something happened to me at Wednesday that i thought i would never hear.

I was told by my team leader that bouncing breasts are very inappropriate in the workplace.

There had been several complains on me for a long time (she claims).

And that i from now on, always had to use a bra.

Was she right to correct me like that, should i complain on her ?

Since everyone and their brother has commented on here, figured I'd throw in my two cents....

I recently found out from a male colleague that he and the other straight men we work with can tell us with unerring accuracy what bra most of the women are wearing under their scrubs...apparently when we lift up our arms to pull our hair back before preparing for code browns, you can see our bras through the arms of our scrubs, in addition to the view that they sometimes get down the front of our scrubs when bending over to do patient care. I never knew this (about being able to see through the arms, at least...I do try to be careful about the view I provide when bending over). I can't even imagine the view that a pair of 40ddd's would give!

At least now I know to coordinate my bras with my scrubs....:lol2:

(I actually told her that I have it on good authority, I figured you guys wouldn't mind).

Mind? I think it's hilarious!

Boob News Roundup: The Power of the Mighty Breast :clown:

The notion that bobbing boobs could actually be harnessed to produce energy was explored by writer Adrienne So. Anyone over a 32A who has ever tried to gracefully jog knows that the motion and friction caused by your girls can be tremendous. Could a bra capture that front-to-back, up-and-down, and side-to-side breast-shaking action and use it to help solve the energy crisis, wondered So? Or maybe just generate enough to power your iPod?

They forgot to do the shake. If they forget to shake, they probably never even notice.

Next time you see it, offer them one of those pads you women wear. THAT ought to drive the point home, as well as give us all a chuckle when you share the story. :D

well they have another word for it if they shake too much.

Is it me, or is hooter.....er.....hotter in here than usual? It's a well known fact that is you shake more than twice you're playing with it. BTW - why are you gals looking at my 'crotchal region' after I come out of the bathroom anyway? I guess the same reason we notice whether or not you're wearing a bra.

Now, is that two in the same direction, or just two period?

You have got to be kidding>!>! Who doesn't wear a bra to work? I mean at home is one thing, but I can not imagine a woman not wearing a bra out in public. Im in the south and maybe there's a difference, but I find this post hard to believe....REALLY?!?!?! You gotta ask if you should wear a bra to work?????? No wayWhoo does that???

Wearing well-fitting underwear, both bras and panties, is imperative in the workplace. The focus should be the patient, not the employee.

This pretty much sums it up.:up:
