According to those who work in government positions in the real world, a major hole in the plot of "NCIS" is the way Abby Sciuto was allowed to dress in the workplace (via Express). While her goth girl look was fun for a TV show, she could have gotten fired if she was working a real job with the government.

Fans took to Reddit to talk about the outfits Sciuto was wearing during her time on the show. "I can tell you her clothing would not be acceptable in most offices," one commenter shared. "Regardless if you are a contractor or [government] employee, each organization and their offices have dress codes to follow, just like any private industry organizations do," they added. "Certain jewelry could also be prohibited, like those with large spikes. So overall no, Abby would have to conform to standard business attire sadly."

However, Sciuto would not be the only character to lose their job if they were working a real NCIS job. According to Outsider, fans commented that Agent Tony DiNozzo would also likely lose his job for his workplace behavior. You know what they say, you can't believe everything you see on TV!
