B!TC# IT OUT!

[Merman Dan]

Your friends co-worker sounds like a:

[PearlieMae]

Dan! Be nice! You never know...she MIGHT have a bone!

They posted sexual harassment posters in our break room. They basically state:
No commenting on a persons looks, as that could be seen as flirting and is unprofessional.
No touching of any sort, which includes hugs, pats on the shoulder, etc.
No making any sexual comments at any time.

Basically, stand two feet away while ignoring the piece of lettuce stuck in your coworkers teeth and talk only about the weather.

Was this before or after the firing? Do they have a zero tolerance policy? Were there witnesses?

[Merman Dan]

Dan! Be nice! You never know...she MIGHT have a bone!

:P Yeah, I didn't witness the event in question so I only said she sounded like one. Still, we live in an age where bumping into someone can lead to a case of simple assault.

Meh. Guys check out my butt at the gym when I do my workout sessions (it's a gay gym btw) and I don't mind much because I kinda like the attention. It even gives me more motivation to work harder, especially when I get some flirting and encouraging comments. However, when I get to the public showers and someone thinks he can touch and feel my butt without my consent, now that's crossing a line and I can get pretty angry about it.

The showers aren't individual? That sucks! Gross, I understand how you feel on the butt thing though, I don't understand how guys think it's okay to just touch someone else without their permission!

There are a few cabins for individual showers but they are always occupied when I get there so I suck it up and go to the public ones. I don't mind it much. I mind only when some are trying to be smartass and think it's okay to touch but it's not. I always call them out publicly. The shame is strong enough for them to not try it again.

My gods you guys. (Group hug) sounds like 2015 has been a doozy. My cousin/best friends baby has been having unexplained seizures for a couple weeks now, in and out of the hospital. They're in Texas and I'm so far away it's just so stressful. We've had 9 deaths in the family in the last two years including my little brother in August and my biological dad and grandpa last Christmas. I've been emotional- havin a hard time coping with the grief that seems at odds with the joy you're supposed to be feeling this time of year. I broke down crying last night, and my three year old just kept patting my head, bless his little heart.

Another friend is jobless so I feel for him and his wife too- such a rough year. Hopefully it'll be better next year for everyone. We all deserve a dang break.

Well, it does sound bad but try to put it this way, would you rather hear them having loud dirty sex??

I'm just saying.

[Imogen Finnly]

Haha at this point, I would rather hear them do anything else. But I have to admit- i kinda am a chesmoso (nosey or busy body) and I listen to them haha

I think I rather the loud dirty sex as opposed to potential murdering/domestic violence and the like.

[deepblue]

Yep, me too.
Sure, rather hear neither.
But at least the latter is people enjoying themselves.

You can be a troll and knock on the wall asking to join LOL

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Yes. My upstairs neighbors. People have suggested I do just that. XD.

ALSO. Like a fucking comedy routine, I walked face first into a pole today. Broke my glasses. My head hurts like a bitch, and I'm on my way to work.

[Madison MerFaerie]

Hold the phone, I need to go back to Arion's post.
1. Gay gyms exist? I learn something new every day!
2. People in the gym think it's ok to touch someone's butt without permission? WTF is wrong with people?!

Your place of work sounds bleak. Ugh.

I definitely would rather hear that...and then film it.

I'm sure it's worth the risk.

I hope no one gets mad at this rant because there has been a LOT leading up to it.
Stop fucking patronizing people for not being vegan! Not everyone has a choice!! And some people straight up aren't going to, get over it. Seriously, i would LOVE to go vegan but I can't! I have a stupid eating disorder! Stop shaming me for not conforming to your life choices! it's sickening, and if veganism is the only thing that defines you then that's pretty sad and you need to go out and get a life.

I came *thisclose* to leaving a bottle of Gatorade and a post it note with '10' (as in points) on it in front of my old upstairs neighbor's door, after he had a night of what sounded like Olympic sex. He'd have been amused, we got along in that kind of way, but I didn't have any Gatorade that day, and then his gf broke up with him so I didn't get to. I'd have done the next time they did, I think.
