When you think that wearing nothing but underwear in a random dream of yours where you’re in school and then everyone points fingers at you in laughter is bad enough, well, we've got something even worse.

Turns out, people wear some of the wildest things to their jobs, whether it’s something that doesn’t fit the work environment and hence creates a safety hazard, or it’s something altogether inappropriate because you cannot unsee it.

Redditors have been sharing stories of the most not safe for work outfits they’ve seen their coworkers wear to work after Reddit user u/Logistics515 asked them to on r/AskReddit, getting over 11,200 upvotes in the process.

Scroll down to check out the top answers from the viral thread, and why not share similar encounters with wild coworkers who couldn’t understand the dress code etiquette even if it was to save their lives in the comment section below!

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online Taking this quite literally, NOT SAFE for work. This guy I know, electrical power systems, kept asking his boss to get him some safety gear. Boss never got back to him so he sent his boss a pic of him standing on top of a high voltage transformer wearing only his boxers and sunglasses with the caption "WHERE IS MY PPE?"

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online Secondhand story from my husband, but a guy on another crew wore a two piece safety suit instead of the one piece like he was supposed to for the job. He slipped and fell on his a** in some caustic waste. Since it was a two piece suit, it was able to leak into his suit and he ahd to basically run out of the job, strip down naked, and have coworkers pour vinegar all over his lower half, including down his a** crack and on his junk.

So remember, if you work a safety job, don't ignore the required gear. Sometimes the required gear seems silly, but they require it for a reason. Accidents happen and in a worst case scenario, proper get should save you.

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online Many moons ago i worked for Royal mail as a postman. Had a new hire that came into work wearing high heel platform boots. She didnt come back the next day because she didn't seem to understand that those items of footwear are not conducive to the amount of walking posties do, and managed to knacker her ankle. Also complained that carrying bags and putting mail through letter boxes was damaging her nails.

Never saw her again.

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online On Valentine's Day, a new hire dressed like "Cupid."

He wore a white shirt decorated with red hearts and a white tie with a large heart on the center of it.

Then, his pants were also white, but with angels going up and down the legs. Everyone loved it, especially the female employees. But his supervisor told him to go home and change because it was a "distraction."

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online Recently at work one of our vans decided it didn't want to start. It being a brand new Dodge ProMaster we decided it would be best for the dealership to figure it out. We called and a big flat bed tow truck was dispatched. The tow truck arrived and the driver hopped out wearing slip style sandals. I would assume a job were you deal with heavy machinery all day would require boots but who knows.

Fast forward a month and I am getting gas at the gas station down the street from my office. I look over to the next pump and who do I see? That same tow truck driver filling up the tank on his tow truck. He was still wearing that same pair of sandals. I left in a hurry after watching him light a cigarette as he pumped his gas.

There comes a point in heavy work where steel toes become a liability. A friend worked in machinery moving and was told he'd be fired if he wore steel toed boots. Their equipment was so heavy that if anything fell on your foot it stood a chance of crimping the steel part around you and you'd have to be cut out of it instead of it just crushing your toes.

He was asked to go home and change as knee length shorts were ok, but not short shorts as stated in the terms of dress down day. His response was to comment about someone's Turban not being mentioned in the terms either. He was a team leader.

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online My first job was at Wal-Mart doing stockwork. After getting trained in my boss starts disappearing for longer and longer periods of time, to the point I was running my little area. One day he's gone entirely, and I figure I need a new boss. He shows up next day wearing an American flag bandana...and nothing else. Right before I get to have a chat, 2 police round the corner and off he goes to the drunk tank. I did need a new boss... at least she was prettier.

30 Wild NSFW Outfits People Dared To Wear To Work, As Shared By Folks Online I recently organised a conference with industry vendors. One of the vendors sales reps showed up, 7 months pregnant in a dress that would have already been too short had she not been pregnant. It looked like she forgot to put on pants. The look was completed with a weird shawl bolero and heels that were on the high side at the best of times, but must have been torture for her in the 3rd trimester. The woman was old enough to know better (ie mid 30s)

Insecurity caused those flights. Looking is harmless, and there are tons of pretty people in the world. The women I've dated usually point out a pretty girl or a nice butt for me lol. If you're worried about where your partner is looking you need therapy, not romance.
