I have allergic reactions too only speaking of it. The couple of times I went to work in shirt and jacket (no tie, I usually wear it only at wedding and funerals, which is a repetition) my colleagues wanted to take photographs...

I work in Prime Tower, Zurich, which is about as bankery as you get. Some of the younger types look like Donald Trump's two sons. All slicked hair and stripey shirts. I still have my ridiculous biker hair, and I get away with a basic trousers and shirt combo. Still, I feel uncomfortable around these people. They're too damn slick.

If you really want to freak 'em out, wear either a Gadsden t-shirt ("Don't Tread On Me"), or a Black Lives Matter t-shirt over a hoodie.

I used to work for a company owned by a big-time lawyer in San Diego. The partner of the firm that was in charge of the office itself hated the fact that I wore tennis shoes at work every day, and even said something to my boss about it. When I heard about it, I figured I would meet the guy half-way and wear one tennis shoe and one dress shoe.
He was not amused. He was so not amused that he tried to get me fired.
When I found out about that, I started wearing flip flops.
The icing on the cake, though, was for Halloween, all of the secretaries (about 30 women) in the office had a "dress like John" contest. At the time I was riding a Harley and came to work wearing black biker t-shirts, a leather vest, jeans, and biker boots. I came to work dressed as a lawyer as my costume. Whenever possible, I would park my bike next to the guy's car.
I thought the law partner was gonna have a freakin' stroke. All of the other lawyers thought it was funny as hell.
He learned after a while that if you poke JSOP, JSOP pokes back.

My three years at Hughes Aircraft will funny in that way. Still a shirt/tie (no jacket) culture, but every Friday before Halloween, all of the s/w people came to work in their suits - preferably 3 piece.
Of course, being a Friday, and a suit, senior management was worried the entire department was out on job interviews (market was white hot then).

I sincerely respect you 
In my office there are no rules except common sense, during winter I usually go to work in my leather biker jacket and hoodie, with t-shirt, jeans and black tennis shoes. All of my t-shirts and hoodies are either geek or heavy metal themed and nobody ever complained (except a couple of times but there were actually other reasons piling up and that was just a pretext, which I pointed out... along with the subtext "If I come to work dressed as you wish you pay as I wish or I'll put my good clothes in service of another company and say goodbye to the 4 years of experience for your pitiful salary". They stepped down).

I'm really quite curious - what did you eat for lunch?
I don't think that it is possible to eat anything that hasn't ended its life to enrich yours.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Not all of your article's images are showing for me.  Edit: As Johnny J pointed out, it appears to be a caching issue (Chrome?, who knows).
Other than that, congrats?

Think that's a caching problem. Thjey weren't for me either at the beginning, but now they are.

Yes, it's a CP quirk. Browser refresh eventually gets them all.
