Companies that interview you and then fill the position internally.
Assholes, I wore heels for that.
Did they tell you when they hired? So many companies I apply for don't even offer that.
Mind you, I only have to wear ties.

Next time, add the micro skirt.

(Just kidding. Sorry to hear that. Wish I could feed you bourbon.)
I wore a pencil skirt.

Just that it was filled internally.
And dude, I wish I could just wear men's attire. Worse yet is that I can't even do the men's suit some andro ladies can because my chest is too big. I'm so damn jealous of those that can.Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

I will help you curb stomp the first person who says 'that just makes it hotter', because that's what friends are for. Also, nngh, all the empathy.

Hur hur jokes about filling bras internally har har.
(I also got this situation. The being passed over for internal candidate that yes, was always going to get it. Not the bra situation.)

Can you do a blouse and jacket, at least? And I don't think anyone would mind if you wore flats, but yeah, sorry about the bra part.
I have a mild asphyxiation phobia, and it took me several months of wearing the tie to even not feel anxious just putting it on. About a three minute conversation with a woman about bras killed any anxiety about the tie, because it could be so much worse.

I know it's wrong, but this is how I'm picturing Thenomain's interviews:

@Thenomain Sometimes the bras aren't so bad. I mean, I'm not one of them, but there are a lot of bigger girls who find it more comfortable to wear one than not because of the way it helps distribute the weight. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's true of some.
Similarly, I'm stupid comfortable wearing a certain style of corset (under the boobs entirely, not propping them up under my chin or something). Literally more comfortable than I am buck naked in a tub full of bubbles. Anybody who has ever needed a back brace after an accident or to avoid strain at work hauling things around probably gets this one, and I've worn those, too, but frankly, I'm weird-made and a custom-fitted corset was infinitely more comfortable than that, and under clothes, it's not like anybody ever even knew it was there because it wasn't designed to forcibly alter my shape into something it isn't, but was instead made to support my back, because the generic wraps designed for that purpose were designed for a body very, very different than mine.
I suppose my anger is that damn near any time somebody hears this, I get the lecture about how I'm a misbegotten throwback trying to adhere to a damaging beauty standard and oh, mercy, have you seen those x-rays of bodies of women who grew up wearing those things and destroying their inner organs?! because they cannot conceive of any other possible way it might be, and that this attitude is as damaging, limited, and nonsensical as the notion that women all should have to wear such a thing for those very different and not OK reasons of yore.
But, well, anyway. For some people, a bra isn't so bad. Sometimes they're more comfortable. Not for me, but for some. Pointless trivia, it's a thing.
Oh fucking well.

I...okay? I don't know how to respond to this. I imagine that you put up with it the same way you put up with anything else that you don't particularly like to do. That is, either doing it anyway or finding a way around it. I've known several women who've gotten breast reduction surgery in part for this.
And of course, there are probably women who enjoy one or the other or both. And men, come to talk about it. (edit: ninja'd by @surreality)
I just don't know what "little bitches" is supposed to mean in this case.

I don't either, but for entirely different reasons. Namely: not nearly enough vodka.

I'm one of those who has to wear a bra to avoid back pain. Also boob sweat. Like I can't just wear pajamas around the house. I am wearing pajamas while I work today... but also a bra. Because if I didn't, my shoulders and back would hurt way too much. Like yes, before bed, taking it off is glorious because my ribs feel better for lack of pressure... but not wearing it causes so much back pain.
So it's a trade-off.
If I had the money, I'd consider reduction surgery, for sure.
As for wearing flats, well, I had a pair and they disappeared during the move somewhere. I gotta buy new ones.
I don't own a lot of shoes. I have a pair of heels. (Had) a pair of flats. My day-to-day Vans. My sneakers. My boots. Flip flops. -

@Ganymede All over the internet.
And in person. And if it's ever mentioned anywhere outside of costumer circles, or BDSM events. And really, when it's the last option, that's not really where I'm going with it, either, so it's equally unhelpful. -
People apparently feel that they should have an outraged opinion about everything, and lay in wait.

I blame Geraldo Rivera. Seriously, fuck the 80s for starting this shit.

Nah, I blame TV. Way back when people were afraid the kids would emulate the things they saw in the cartoons.
They were right.
Adults emulate the constructed intensity fantasy of "reality TV" as a basis to model their real life behavior on.
Silly adults, cartoons are for kids!

Yes, and no. The idea was around decades before, in a sense from the moment of expansion to the US markets, it just happened to be the 80s Rivera "cartoon" that sparked the stupid.

I wonder if "The Carlton" is still available.
