...about something they're wearing or doing that is just...ugh?
There's this woman that comes in to where I work. She's in her 50-60s. Her...chest...is rather sizeable, yet she does not wear a bra and they..umm..really stick out, swing back and forth, etc. It's gross. I work at a classy place and that is just not classy. Otherwise, she looks okay though, she's really nice and friendly, she's well-spoken, she just doesn't wear a bra and she really, really should. Would you tell her? I can't. It's just...embarrassing, for me and for her (even though she doesn't seem to know it at all). She's been coming in like this for over a year. I was thinking maybe she had some medical condition that doesn't allow her to wear a bra? Or something? But I can't think of anything that could cause the need to not wear one. I'm usually a live-and-let-live kind of person, but this is just gross.
I would just let her be. People don't wear bras for all sorts of reasons, some health related and some social/philosophical. Our conservative society likes to tell us to be ashamed of breasts and that an older/larger person's body needs to be kept invisible but when you examine those things, they're both really irrational sentiments. You shouldn't have to act as personal judgment on behalf of your workplace.
I do get that feeling sometimes, but usually it's related to those creeper dudes who somehow find their way into social gatherings, and never seem to bathe.... barf.
I get why you might be uncomfortable with the older lady's boobage, but it's really just her business. Try not to look at them?
I hate when people don't wear a bra. It's rather annoying, but what can you do? I wouldn't say anything to her.
I have a bone to pick with larger people. I get that some of them are comfortable with their body, but they shouldn't be wearing tight clingy clothing that show off their rolls. I'm a bigger girl and I certainly don't my fat rolls to show!!
I just started wearing leggings and I realized my legs weren't that bad in them, but I have hanging belly and I try to wear tops that are long enough to cover it :x
I wouldn't comment on her clothes, it's really none of anyone's business. Also, if she's not uncomfortable without a bra, there really is no reason she should wear one. Imo, the idea that women should wear bras at all times is a completely arbitrary societal fabrication, rather like the idea that a woman should wear corsets, or not show her ankles. Similarly, I think that the ideas that bra-less boobs are gross or that visible fat rolls are gross are arbitrary and culturally-dependent and not some kind of absolute truth. I don't think people should feel unable to wear/not wear items of clothing because of their weight, and if someone wants to wear hotpants and crop tops and show off their belly while living bra-free, more power to them.
I always think about telling someone something, but I wouldnt want to offend them in any way especially if they are super nice! Just let her be. I guess shes comfy like that xD
