"Wet T-Shirt Wednesday" Lawsuit - COTW #53

When I was a young man, I would sometimes pass the time by trying to think of the best song for each day of the week. The best I could come up with was:

  • Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2
  • Manic Monday by The Bangles
  • Ruby Tuesday by The Rolling Stones
  • Waiting for Wednesday by Lisa Loeb
  • There was a band called Thursday - that's the best I could do (I didn't have Google or iTunes so cut me some slack!).
  • Friday, I'm in Love by The Cure
  • Saturday Night by The Bay City Rollers
Where am I going with this? Well, according to a recent complaint filed in district court in Utah, a woman alleges a sexual harassment claim for every workday of the week. The New York Daily News reports on the outrageous dress code that prompted the suit:
  • Mini-skirt Monday
  • Tube-top Tuesday
  • Wet T-Shirt Wednesday
  • No bra Thursday
  • Bikini top Friday
The complaint includes some other cringe-worthy allegations, such as butt-slapping, breast comments, and inquiries regarding the employee's pubic hair maintenance. Needless to say, if true, these are not ideal (or socially acceptable or legal) management practices.
