Today, we had a get together for work at a restaurant I've never heard of. After spending all week trying to make a good impression on my new boss and co-workers, I showed up in a pair of shorts and a Star Wars T-Shirt. Turns out it was one of the fanciest restaurants in town. FML

Today, one of my co-workers invited me to a cookout at her house with some other people from my new job. She said to wear my suit. Assuming she had a pool, I showed up in a bikini, only to find everyone else wearing business attire and staring at me like I had lost my mind. FML
Today, I went to work in my best outfit for the big corporate party we were having later in the day. When I arrived, my boss said, "You missed one hell of a party yesterday!" Shit. FML
Today, I walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML
Today, I wore a suit to my first day at a new job to make a good impression. When I arrived, I discovered it was a “casual dress” company where everyone wears hoodies and sneakers. My new nickname? “The Accountant.” I don’t even work in finance. FML
Today, I showed up to my new job early, hoping to impress my new boss. When he arrived, he walked by me and muttered, "Fucking tryhard." FML
Today, at my first day of work, I was impressing my trainer with my skills by carrying many trays at once. Well, I could until I came around a corner and ran into a customer. With food all over his front, he introduced himself to me as the head manager. FML
Today, I walked into work, and the first question my boss asks me is "Are those your pajamas?" I was wearing my favorite outfit. FML
Today, I was at a fancy restaurant with my boss, trying to make a good impression. I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, only to later realize I'd forgotten my wallet. My boss had to pay for the meal, and I'm wondering if my job in accounting is now on the line. FML
Today, I went into work to set up a new store. There was a lot of lifting so I dressed casual. This happened to be the day the owner brought in his conservative family to check out the store. I was wearing a shirt that says "Everyone Poops" and has a donkey and elephant pooping. FML
Today, I finally got an interview at a restaurant after looking for a job for three months. I dressed nice, and the interview was going well until this blonde girl in booty shorts and fishnets walked in. The manager hired her on the spot. FML

You should of research / google the restaurant before going, or asked someone if it was casual or business casual dress.

Problem is that they were trekies.

Poor OP was outnumbered. The Trekkies are easily frightened, but they always return in larger numbers.

I don't really understand how shorts and a Star Wars shirt would make a good impression, but why wouldn't you google the restaurant if you'd never heard of it? Come on now...

You deserve it for owning a Star Wars shirt. Just stay home next time... aka mom and dads basement

Agreed. Never go to a place you never heard of without searching it up. That also includes websites.

Year 11, so true. Also, you're going to a restaurant with your BOSS. You could've dressed nicely, just to be on the safe side. Not only because it's professional, but also you said you're trying to impress your new boss and co-workers.

If you've never heard of anything to do with work, always look it up. Be it a restaurant you're going to or a product your boss mentions. It could be extremely important. Also, when you're going to a company dinner surely it's just common sense to dress moderately well? I'm not saying go all out every time, but jeans and a shirt should be the minimum.

If it's a work function, it's always a good idea to at least wear slacks and a collared shirt, if not shirt and tie (or equivalent attire for the ladies). It's better to overdress than to underdress. One can always remove a jacket or a tie but you'll be hard pressed to improve your appearance within minutes.

Well said

Did you not think to check what sort of restaurant you were going to? Even a casual question or a google search would have prevented that.

move along... nothing to see here

Why, if you're trying to impress your boss, wouldn't you dress appropriate anyway. Better to overdress than underdress.

Whenever you plan to go out with coworkers or a work function, ALWAYS dress up nicely. I Love Star Wars, but I mean, even Princess Leia let her hair down and dressed up for the Ewoks...

You didn't really try, did you. Did you wear jandals too?
kurodansei 16
Whay unholy creation of man might jandals be? I'm gonna guess Jean Sandals but even that seems too ridiculous.

Apparently jandles are just flip flops. I'm disappointed.

Like Nike slippers. Made by Michael Jordan.
neonstarr 15
Haha think jandals are called thongs or flip flops in other countries.

I don't see how this isn't ydi. If you want to impress people one of the first things to do is dress good. Didn't you Google the place to see what kind of restaurant it was?
