Sounds hilarious, is there an article or something on this?

It was on Reddit and I would rather not link there so I found it somewhere else:

„That night I went home and read up on the dress code rules. There was in fact a rule against shorts, so I was annoyed, but kept on. And then I found it, there is no rule preventing males to wear skirts/kilts. Here's where I devised my plan.“

(Oops ....replied to the wrong comment, sorry)

A couple of years ago, bus drivers in France started wearing skirts during a particularily bad heat wave because skirts were allowed but shorts weren’t.
