Guys, any disparaging names given to you by your colleagues?

I have... "Stick", "Slenderwoman", "That tall skinny chick who stumbles a lot", "Madame Trip", "Tripperina".

Higher in terms of altitude, but definitely not higher on the food chain. Though, if we're going that route, I would say nothing is higher on the chain that Tommy Chong.

I get called "Muffin" by my roommate for no apparent reason. My boss calls me "Office Bitch" for some reason. And my one friend calls me the "Iron Bitch" because of my ability to head through a double shift without missing a beat at work. Ironically, all those names are being appointed to a dude (me, that is).

The pressing question at this point is: Did you keep that smug smile, you lucky bitch?

So don't wear high heels...
Seems a rather obvious solution...

Why not use another type of heels instead?

Workplace requires stilettos. And with stiettos, I suddenly get 7cm in height.

This is the first time I read about a place requiring a specific set of heels for use at work (assuming said work is not sexual work).

What kind of job requires you to wear such specifics anyways, besides titty bars and hooters?

You should inform your moron bosses that it's quite possible to look presentable without wearing stiletto heels.
