A female friend of mine always wore her's tucked under a collar, or turned around, or hidden by her (longish) hair. I once asked her why, and she said she was tired of bozos on the shop floor reading her name off the badge and then acting like they were on a first name basis, asking her out or making comments on her social life. This was before sexual harasment (sp?) was recognized as an official problem, and there wasn't really any way to stop the problem, so hiding the badge was the most reasonable way to deal with the situation.
