Of course it is. So is getting ill, having to take time off work, passing it on to your own children. 

kingdragonfly: The HR department has already sent out emails saying "if you're sick stay home."

Also the bosses have repeated the same thing in team meetings multiple times.

Confronting someone who's an adult, an a parent, about basic hygiene and etiquette is always hard.

Get passive/aggressive - ostentatiously put on a face mask anytime she comes near...

That no shops in NZ cater for a 32/33 arm length (82cm) in business shirts. It's all 86/90.

The shirts that do have a shorter arm length have a collar that would choke a pencil to death.

Even brands I know do this, like Van Heusen, you can only get these sizes from their US Stores!

You got a thick neck and short arms - just like your avatar?

I haven't bought shirts in NZ for YEARS, I always buy heaps when I am in the US as they are cheap, have a great selection of sizes. I have the same issue with Jeans. They carry everything but my size here, but in the US, every store carries it. I know it's a population thing, but retailers here can't complain about importing if thats the case. 

I found some fantastic shirts at Smith and Caugheys, they were $230 each! Sleeves were still a bit longer than I'd like.

At those prices you should just have your shirts tailored. I know some ladies above the market in Chiang Mai who do good work.

That is why the Lord invented bespoke shirtmakers, my son...

I'm glad we have mathematicians to tell us what is fairly obvious if you've ever observed queues at traffic lights...

kingdragonfly:

Now, a team of mathematicians ... have found the answer and published their findings in leading academic journal Proceedings of the Royal Society.

"Now" being 12 years ago.

And, as others note, surely this was well-known even before then. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon...
