Do Your Co-Workers Commit Beauty Crimes?

It's a jungle out there in this crummy economy, and we've already told you about the women who think they need Botox to compete in the job market. To that we will add that your hair better not be too big, your self-tan better not be too extreme, and you shouldn't commit the fashion faux pas of bells on your shoes, just in case you were tempted.

Does Botox lead to more successful careers?

These and other sins, many of them appearance-oriented, were cited in a new survey of thousands of hiring managers across the country as being among complaints voiced by co-workers against each other. Thanks to the survey, we can authoritatively warn you, for instance, not commit the offense of reminding someone at work of Bambi (yes, this was an actual complaint.) We personally have never had a run-in at the office with anyone offensively doe-eyed, but now we're curious about this whole phenomenon: What bugs you about the people you work with, and how many of their annoying tics have to do with beauty or fashion?
