An office dress code in which you have to wear shirts inside your pants! What kind of workplace is it?

I'd have thought that the collar would chafe against your dangly bits.

and you are a kernel developer to boot. It must be nice living up there.
Its just continental Europe. People are very relaxed here. :) (Should a kernel dev wear more formal clothes then?)

OK, whatever floats your boat. But you don't have to share those details with us, you know? PS: Try a proper lube instead of coffee.

I don't think your grasp of the English language is really that strong. What I said was not sexual in nature at all. However, the act of spitting stuff up out of one's mouth seems to make you think of things in the oral arena...very interesting...

You missed the joke icon. On a serious note though: My grasp of the English language may not be strong, but it is, in fact, much stronger when compared to the linguistic skills of an average American, and some Englishmen.

I think it is bothering my boss to no end that I am wearing my shirt outside my pants today (no clients today). He won't say anything to me about but I know he wants to. I can get away with it because I produce and I work very long hours most of the time. I'm very lucky this way but I won't push the boundaries. Now those of you who get to work from home in your pajamas and/or skivvies then my hats off to you. :)
Not too bothered other than will not wear a tie. Most of the people in the building wear suits and ties - I will not (such a rebel). No one has said a word and some of my colleagues have stopped wearing them. Hurrah for common sense! What sort of a moron wears a brightly colored napkin around their neck all day?

Doubt it. Some beautiful naked women seem to get less beautiful, the more you talk to them.

What irritates me about office dress codes is how when there is an official one, a certain gender will still show up in Capri's, flip-flops and t-shirts but everyone is too worried about a certain type of lawsuit to say anything.

I took off my shirt about an hour ago to let it dry (coffee accident). No strange looks yet (though I am wearing an undershirt). I once had a coworker who spent a little time at work one day wearing only his boxers.

The craziest thing I ever saw was year's ago a very pretty girl came in to see her boyfriend and she was wearing a very, very shear sun dress with black panties and bra. All the guys in the office came up with excuses to wander over to her boyfriend's office to get a peek. Crazy but definitely a good crazy. :)

I know people who have worked for strip clubs making websites. They have some pretty crazy stories that go beyond just the lax dress code. ;)

hehehe been there and done that, working from an office sucks imo. When I'm stuck at some crummy work place forced to wear a suit I get nothing done, I've been working from home for just coming up 5 years now and the best part is waking up and putting on whatever is handy normally, sitting down with a a hot cup of coffee and see how badly my desktop looks like a Christmas tree with messages ;P

It's funny how you US people always complain about dress code. In Europe there's no dress code at all in any software company, except for subsidiaries of US companies (which is why I never bother to apply for them). Of course, we still shouldn't run around naked, but slippers, shorts and T-shirt are totally acceptable. Only exception is when meeting clients, or when working as a consultant at your clients place. But even then you don't neccessarily need a tie: shirt + jacket + long legged trousers are ok most of the time. (and often a jacket is overdoing it) Only when you're dealing with a bank or insurance a tie will be neccesary (unless you're female ;) ). That's about it. P.S.: I see you mentioned 'no clients today', implying that it is common for you to meet clients on most days. Maybe there's a difference; around here even project leaders don't meet with clients multiple times a week. Maybe once a week on average, or twice if you're really busy. And as a developer at most once or twice a month.
