Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, my boss asked me why I wasn't adhering to proper dress code. I pointed out that skinny jeans are in the dress code, to which he replied, "Only if you're skinny." FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, a customer told my boss I was too pushy because I asked her what bra size she wears. I work at a lingerie store. I got a stern lecture from my boss. FML
Today, I got called into my manager’s office for wearing “leggings.” They weren’t leggings, they were work pants with a straight leg. I said to her that the other girls wear them in the office. She told me, "But they have a slim figure, you're on the pudgier side and it looks bad. No offense.” FML
Today, my boss wanted to talk to me. Nervous, I went to her office. Turns out that my coworkers talk about me behind my back, and my boss is worried about me. Apparently, I lie about my bad knees, and me wearing black leggings is horrible. Most of them wear sweatpants on a daily basis. FML
Today, after weeks of everyone at work avoiding me, I finally asked my coworker what was up. She informed me, “You’re 350lbs and try to dress like an office siren, it’s pathetic to look at.” FML
Today, I don’t know what to do, my (female) boss just told me that in order to comply with our dress code, I now have to go and tell most of our female employees to cover up their visible cleavage. I'm not the most confident around women, how am I supposed to discuss their boobs with them? FML
Today, a coworker told me I was "fat shaming" them by discussing weight loss with other coworkers. FML
Today, I found out that shorts are inappropriate to wear in the office. If it wasn't the staff-wide meeting or my coworker telling me to change, I've been sitting in the back praying it's time to clock out. FML
Today, my boss pretty much told me that I'm too ugly to meet clients, and should stay in the office doing the paperwork. So basically, I'm a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm busty myself and wear the occasional turtleneck. I used to wear them more often until I got a perv on a dating site begging me to send more pics of me in a turtleneck. He escalated to nudes before I even had a chance to respond. Apparently some dudes are really into that method of showcasing the girls.

You are a woman. You have boobs. That's how it works. He can't shame you because of your body.

You can sue for discrimination you can't help having boobs, it's legit!

Your boss must be a woman

Just because your wearing a turtle neck doesn't automatically mean your chest is hidden. Most women's turtle necks I've seen show that area off pretty well.

Sexual harassment. What are you supposed to do? Get a boob reduction?? Not happening. What a pig.

You shouldn't even bother wearing turtlenecks. It's not your responsibility to stop them from getting distracted. It's your body, you can do what you like!!!

That is sexual harassment. Talk to the HR Department asap.

Out of curiosity, why is everyone assuming OP's boss is a guy?
