Here at CHIVE HQ there isn’t much of a dress code. Shocker right? The opposite is true for 20-year-old Joey Barge from Buckinghamshire, UK.
Buckinghamshire was experiencing a heatwave and Joey decided he would try wearing shorts to his job at a call center. He tweeted a photo of him in navy shorts with the caption, “If women can wear skirts/dresses at work can I wear smart shorts like so?”
Joey was immediately sent home and told to change into appropriate clothing. “I got sent home and told to change into appropriate clothing but it said females could wear dresses so hey ho!” Barge told the Daily Mail.
Annoyed that women could wear a skirt or a dress, Joey wore a pink and black dress that fit into the companies policy for females.
“They said it was a bit too colourful and asked if I wanted to go home and change because they were letting us wear shorts because of my ‘protest’ — but I said I was happy to stay,” Barge continued.
Sometimes being petty can win you the small but important battles in life.
