Colleague sent me message by mistake

its a non event- he deleted it straight away so I would just get over it although I’m sure some will get annoyed by that and others will get a secret thrill.
to be honest leggings and a fitted tshirt isn’t work wear unless you work at the gym, so not surprised there was a slight reaction on a rainy boring Friday

Well, that explains it.
You’re an engima compared to your colleagues who are unattractive, vile fatties who wouldn’t dare own a pair of leggings due to their disgusting physiques. I’ve heard they don’t sell leggings above a size 8 because the market wasn’t there.

🙄🙄🙄🙄 I’m calling troll. Or an arsehole.

And I wasn’t trying to bring attention to my perter arse, honestly.

I wish I could laugh at this but it’s a story as old as time itself that women’s clothing choices are to blame for men’s poor behaviour.

Well said. Double standards comes to mind. We all look at the menu, it’s human nature, you don’t have to eat from it.

Um, are you from outer space?

Stretch leggings are a convenient staple for women everywhere. This goes more so for women in larger sizes, not less, because they accommodate the wearer whatever her figure.

Yes and the OP is automatically taking it as a compliment 🙈

Just googled scrunch bum leggings. They are very bum enhancing OP. That said your colleague shouldn’t be commenting in teams about you. I’d keep it under your belt in case he does anything else inappropriate but wouldn’t report him this time.

You are either faux naive or love the attention, which is it? 😊

Making a big deal is the purpose of attention-seekers

why are some people so uptight... if someone sent that about me I'd be happy to know someone finds me attractive in leggings...what's the big deal?

Oh look, it’s the second coming of Samantha Brick

Ditto to a pp who worked with a guy who got told not to wear cycling shorts in the workplace (to be fair to him he was intending to do some cycling at the end of the day). No way are those leggings appropriate work wear, and if you didn't know what you were doing, then you should have done. I am all for women should be able to wear what they like but no one should be able to wear inappropriate clothing in the workplace and get affronted if it provokes comments - of whatever nature - behind their backs. And maybe those size 16 ladies you dearly love were saying similar because let's face it - you wore an outfit that was designed to draw attention and are now pretending you didn't.

Do you work in a gym? If not you can’t be surprised if a bloke comments on your scrunchie bum leggings in the workplace really. I imagine he’s not the only one who commented. I’m a heterosexual woman and I would have passed comment too but not with a sweat emoji!

Spot on

I had to google scrunch leggings and am amazed you wore those to a work meeting. No wonder there were comments. And yes I reckon a bit of humble bragging and/or you are not very bright. Just waiting for you to tell us you are a size 8…

Nothing surprises me anymore. I worked with someone who liked to wear short dresses to work and would bend down to pick stuff up whilst not wearing any knickers. When someone complained about it she demanded that they be taken into a room to describe in detail what tattoos she had on her arse, as though the complaint was worse than her behaviour.

Honestly, they walk (work) among us.

She had started an only fans account. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was filming herself doing it. She got sacked when she refused to go home and put underwear on and was last seen being dragged out by security while she screamed her head off about “human rights”.

Sounds like your colleague has clocked you as a bit of an attention seeker. And rightly so.

I'm not sure I'd call it harassment since OP wasn't meant to see the message. It would be different if he sent it to her intentionally or said something to her or where she would hear it. If he's sending suggestive messages and then pretending they were accidentally sent to her, that would be harassment, as well, but this was just a poorly judged comment that he apparently sent to her by accident.

If this is the first issue you've had with him, I'd try to forget it and let it go. If it becomes a pattern of behaviour, that's the time to take action.

ETA: And it does sound as though the leggings were designed to attract attention, so... Can you really blame him for noticing? Still not wise to discuss them in messages (and then be careless about where he sent the message), but if you wear tight clothes that accentuate your bum, people will notice.

It is q interesting actually as my colleague wore something yesterday that I felt was inappropriate (top half rather than bottom). If she had seen a similar message I would have understood it.

It does sound like they were not appropriate for work and have drawn attention. He deleted the message, assumed you had not seen so I would just leave it at that.

OP sounds like an outfit for the gym, not the office.

I don’t know, I’m getting to that size and those leggings look so comfy, size 12 no, too fat, size 14, don’t give a shit and don’t want to try any more trousers on that don’t fit (not scrunch because that would literally be obscene)😂

I think I’m too old for this!
I thought scrunch leggings meant loose around the ankles. Then there’s all sorts of talk about vaginas and bum cracks. I am having a good laugh at some of the comments though.

OP - your idea of what is suitable as office wear is the reason why the multi national company I worked for, pre scrunch leggings, decided that dress down days would no longer be appropriate.

Word to the unwise: your partner may not complain if you dress as a clown or a stripper or a cheerleader, but that doesn’t make them inappropriate workwear.
