I have a boss in my office, we are the only two here and I don't feel comfortable for one thing because it's a male/female situation, but he wears his slacks so tight you can see and outline of everything you want to know nothing about. How do I tell him his pants are too tight? (Note: he is a really big hot head with a huge ego and if I hurt his ego he will through a temper. He's more moody than a woman with the worst PMS ever!)

okay let me clarify, he's the new one, I was not hired by him and actually he can't fire me. I'm technically his assistant but I have higher ups at another office.

to protect yourself go to his superior and tell them that your uncomfortable with his tight pants. This way he cant attack with his small ego..also it will pan out that the supervisor should take care of it so your off the hook, you might ask anyone else if they area also uncomfortable with it so you can show it is not only you...this situation is as much sexual harrasment as anything...if you have to talk to him make sure there is someone else you trust present at all times...the he said, she said wont be a weapon then. Tell him straight out you do not feel comfortable with his attire which is unappropriate for the office...if he bucks up or doesnt listen, lay a sexual harrasment charge on him. It protects you and he has to comply...hope it helps

Don't say anything. I know what you mean though.
I have a friend who sings in a band and he always takes off his shirt to show off his tattoos, but the weirdness of his beer gut outweighs the coolness of his tattoos. I want to tell him, but I don't want him to get mad...and he's not even my boss.

As much as you want to say something, you cant or shouldnt. Do you think he will buy bigger pants if you say something. If he doesnt, that will make the situation even more uncomfortable for you.

He's probably moody because his pants are too tight -- but you can't say anything. Just don't look!

I agree about talking to someone else about it but I recommend talking to human resources or personnel.
Another thing you could try is get friendly with his wife and see if the opportunity arises to mention it to her!

you can't........even if he were a mild mannered, calm person, it's not your place to comment on his choice of clothing, especially since he's your boss. Unfortunately you need to develop a thicker skin, or find a new job.

You don't say anything....You were hired to do your job NOT critique the boss's clothing. Just look at his face...that's ALL you need to look at.

accidentally spill something on him and make him leave to go change.
You'll just have to deal with this situation unfortunately, focus on something else......

Drop something in front of him so he will bend to pick it up. When his pants split up the midddle, he will figure it out...

I wouldn't say anything. He might take it that you're "looking". Might be what he wants! Just bite your tongue and look the other way!
