    I saw a female cow-orker (not one I know) wearing a white shirt that wasn't so much translucent as transparent with a flesh colored undershirt. That's appropriate for going clubbing, not working in the office. This person appeared closer to 55 than 25 and doesn't have the young and stupid excuse for not knowing better. X| :sigh:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

                      Is that because the woman is old? Or in general, you think it's torture to see any woman at work in a see-through shirt?

                                    I go to office to do my work. I don't want to see girls wearing see-through shirts there. There's simply no excuse for such slimy behaviour, and they should know that there's a time and place for everything. They're (the young ones are) welcome to take my phone number and call me later in the evening, but they shouldn't bother while I work. My code generates enough runtime errors as it is. :laugh: The fact that it was an old cow makes it even worse. X|

                                        Well if she did that with the wrong intentions, I agree. But maybe she did not even know her transparent shirt was pissing people off, specially since Dan chose not to talk to her and instead to ask** an anonymous internet audience. ** He did not really ask us anything but he chose to discuss it here.

                                        I disagree. The same rules for old and young, specially at work.
