Share your dress code horror stories.
At my school, there was a really strange dress code rule. Girls couldn't wear shorts above the knee. Once, it was a really hot day and I unknowingly wore slightly shorter shorts. I was sent to the principal's office and had to call my parents to bring me a longer pair. It was so inconvenient and I felt so singled out.
I once attended a wedding with a semi - formal dress code. I wore a nice dress that I thought fit the bill. But when I got there, I realized everyone else was in much more elaborate gowns. I felt completely underdressed and out of place. It was like I was the odd one out in a sea of glamorous people.
Share Your Legacy Code Horror Stories
I once encountered legacy code where the indentation was all over the place. Some lines were indented way too much, and others not at all. It made it extremely difficult to follow the logic. There were also magic numbers everywhere. For example, a function had a hard - coded number 10 in it, and there was no explanation as to what that 10 represented. It was a nightmare to debug.
Share some girl dress code stories.
In some workplaces, there is a girl dress code. For example, at a law firm, women are expected to dress in business professional attire. There was a young female lawyer who started wearing more colorful blouses while still adhering to the suit - and - tie - like dress code for women. This gradually influenced other female colleagues to add a bit more personality to their work outfits without breaking the rules.
Share some first person dress code stories.
At my school, we had a dress code that didn't allow ripped jeans. One time, I really wanted to wear my new pair of slightly ripped jeans. I thought no one would notice. But as soon as I walked into the school, a teacher stopped me. I had to call my parents to bring me a different pair of jeans. It made me realize that rules are rules, even if you don't always agree with them.

Often, it involves being singled out. Maybe you're the only one who didn't get the memo about a new dress code rule.

Can you share some funny dress code stories?
Sure. One time at my office, we had a 'Decades Day' dress code. One colleague showed up thinking the 80s meant wearing his dad's old fishing overalls and a straw hat. He looked like he was ready to go farming in the 80s instead of working in an office. It was hilarious.
Share some wedding dress horror stories.
Well, I heard of a situation where a bride's wedding dress caught fire during the photo shoot because it was too close to a candle. Thankfully, she was not seriously hurt but the dress was ruined. Also, there was a case where the wedding dress store went out of business right before the bride could pick up her dress, and she had already paid in full.
Can you share some positive school dress code stories?
Sure. At my old school, the dress code required students to wear collared shirts. It actually made everyone look neat and presentable. It created a more professional learning environment. Also, it was easier for teachers to identify students from outsiders.
Share your first time crossing - dress stories.
My first cross - dressing experience was accidental. I was at a friend's house and we were playing a game where we had to quickly put on whatever clothes were in a box. I ended up with a dress. It was a bit embarrassing at first, but then we all just laughed about it. It made me realize that clothes don't really define gender in a fun, casual setting like that.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
Share some wedding dress shopping horror stories.
One horror story is when the bride - to - be found a perfect dress in a store. But when it arrived for the final fitting, it was the wrong color. The store tried to blame it on the lighting in the showroom, but it was clearly a different shade than what she ordered.
