Boss: Did you mean to use a shirtless picture on your work profile.
Me: Yeah, that was totally on purpose. I didn't just look through my pictures for a recent head shot and then not notice my nakedness. That would be absurd.
/me changes it as quickly as possible
I had a shirtless incident working at a hardware shop in my early 20s. I was given my work uniform, but I didn't see any changing room, so I just popped into an empty office to change. It was just a shirt - a 10 second job - no problem. Ripping of my shirt, I heard shouting from the neighbouring office from my new (female) boss: "we have about 3 active cameras in that office, just thought you might want to know."
In panic I quickly had to decide between apologizing, becoming embarrased or running away. My smart ass brain landed on shouting back "if you see anything you like, speak up!"
I was very that lucky she just found it funny.
I have dreams where I end up shirtless (or worse) at various places I've worked in the past pretty often. I don't think being naked in public would even really bother me anymore because of that. Other than the criminal charges of course.
