I used to work at a company where we were required to wear badges with
pictures on them.  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.
