Did not anticipate that conversation about spaghetti strap dresses and their place in our dress code. Mr. Pointy sr, male trainee, me. Compromise: shawl.

I walked out of the ladies' room and into the conversation at about the point where the male trainee (I thought he was a trainee) declared that he wanted to wear a dress. A spaghetti strap dress.

Mr. Pointy Sr. (who has since made supervisor after being a lead for some time) took refuge in the dress code and pointed out that spaghetti straps are not allowed. He had the look on his face of someone who is not used to dealing with crossdressing in the workplace.

The dude pouted extensively. I suggested a t-shirt under or sweater over to mitigate the spaghetti strap, this being the sticking point according to the dress code.

Mr. Pointy did not look like I was helping.
The dude did not think that this was a good fashion choice.

I suggested a shawl. There was happiness. I haven't seen the dude wearing a dress to work, though.
