People who constantly make comments about other people’s attitudes should be punished to taste their own medicine. They should mind their own business or face the consequences, which could be more humiliating than they deserve.

OP recently finished from law school and, instead of practicing, started working as a receptionist in a law company. OP had to deal with the clients before anyone else, and she used to wear full-face makeup simply because she enjoyed it. The dress code was reviewed during their coworkers and boss meeting since some of OP’s coworkers were having difficulty adapting to the in-person modality. A coworker commented on a female colleague’s cosmetics and suggested that it be banned because it changes a person’s appearance. Read the entire story to read about the OP’s reply to his harsh comment.

5. Before he could respond, the boss halted the discussion, and some colleagues began mocking him for the OP’s comment. OP’s family felt that her comment was more insulting than his.

OP was astonished after hearing his comment because she realized he was referring to her.
