    funny enough, no I'm not bothered... some of us aren't as shallow about appearances :)

    I've never had anyone say anything to me. I don't mean I look homeless... jeans and a top are my general work attire. Which jeans and which top doesn't matter at all once the work gets done.

    i don't understand where you get off classifying companies as shallow, because they require their associates to dress presentable, be clean shaven and smelling nice?

    sounds like you have a personal tiff against such standards.

    nope, I just don't get it. Your employer should really only dictate your work to you... not how you look or anything else.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I've said twice if you're meeting clients or customers, fine! If not, I don't see the point at all. I'll say it again just in case:

    If you're meeting clients or customers, fine! If not, I don't see the point. Can somebody tell me why it's important to dress smartly for work if your clients or customers can't see ya?

    Ok...we get it. YOU don't see the point. No need to tell people they are vain if they like to look nice when they are at work.
    Some people like to put care into their appearance.

    That's fair enough... but I want to know why they expect everyone else to put the same care and effort in? Some people spend two hours getting ready in the morning, others spend 10 minutes... should there be national guidelines or something?

    why 'should' I? :confused:

    Once I give a shit about getting the job done, shouldn't that be all that matters? What about naturally ugly people? They're kinda fucked in this world of yours aren't they? Should they not be allowed work at all? :o That's kinda mean.
