Sir, you can move your hand, or lose it.

Hey there. I have not one, but two stories of creepy guys hitting on me today at the grocery store. First one:

Guy comes up to my line and winks at me. I notice him staring at my chest and I say, 'I hope you're reading my nametag.' He leans in and whispers, 'You got somebody, honey?'

I smile and say, 'Yes. He's a wrestler, and he's very jealous.'

(NOTE: This is true. My boyfriend actually does wrestle, and he can pick me up. Keep in mind from my last sucky post, I'm over 200 pounds.)

Guy got the hint and left me alone.

For any of you who follow sports, you'd know that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to the championship game. Having moved to Austin from Pennsylvania, I have been a lifelong fan of this team. My store says that as long as you keep in dress code and keep your nametag on, you can wear a team jersey to work.

I get a guy in my line saying 'Hey, what are you doing wearing that jersey? This is COWBOY territory!'

I know he's joking around, so I joke back, 'Then why aren't you guys in the playoffs? Hmmmm....' He laughs it off and I check him through. He leaves my line, a few customers later, he comes up behinds me and grabs my ass.

No.

Before I could do anything, he had already left the store. Jerk.

My boyfriend and I are actually long-distance, he's in Ohio, I'm in Texas. However, his is in the process of preparing to move to Austin. So, I hope that while he's here these guys'll think twice about making a move.

Holy crap! Who still thinks that ass-grabbing is acceptable?!?! I am really sorry you had to deal with that....

[Nyoibo]

Holy crap! Who still thinks that ass-grabbing is acceptable?!?!

Only if it's someone I know and can get away with it with.

Heehee... yeah, I guess then one might not mind so much

Report Creep 2 to your manager. Remember his face. Point him out if he comes in again.

That is beyond unacceptable.

[Akasa]

That can be considered sexual assault. It is sexual in nature and he touched you.
If you remember what he looked like you can press charges.

I agree, but the sad thing is nowadays we see so many stories about managers who look the other way or shrug off customers who downright ASSAULT their emps, so it may not have made a difference.

In this day and age of supposed heightened awareness of assault and sexual harassment, it just appalls me that so many managers don't protect their employees from this behavior.

Not saying this is the case with THIS OP, but we've sure seen enough instances of it posted around here to worry about it.

That's why you just keep going up and up and if necessary, outside the Corporate system.

There are laws, and they WILL be enforced, even if you have to twist a few arms to get it done. I had to go to the owners of my workplace when my manager pinched my ass and then made crude comments about me to a customer (in FRONT of me).

Of course, when those incidents happened, I tore him a new one the next nanosecond. Still, hasn't happened since. ^^

The Dallas Cowboys.

Although if it's Cowboy country you might not want to try that one unless your boyfriend is there.

What do Billy Graham and the Detroit Lions have in common?

They both can make 70,000 people stand up and scream "Jesus Christ!"

I was doing a $15 pawn for an older smelly guy and his friend (actually, I think he was selling the item to us). And we were joking around and having a good time when he said,

"That's a nice blouse you have on ..."


To which I reply,

"Do you want $10 instead?" He opted to make no more jokes.


--

And, my co-worker (R) was working in the pawn room and I was in my area doing my eBay work and working on another co-worker's computer (she's blonde and much older).

My co-worker R tells me that a really stinky guy asked, "who is that hot brunette up there?" pointing in my general direction. R didn't see me at first, thinking he was indicating towards my blonde co-worker. That's when I came into his view and he's like,

"Oh! That's kg. She's married ... and she's crazy ..."

"Well, they're all crazy, aren't they?"

"No, not crazy like she is ..."



Uhhh... thanks R .... I guess ...


Apparently, he didn't ask any more questions about me after that ....

I have heard this one, except with the Cincinnati Bengals as the offending team.

Also the Red Wings, back in the dark days of the late-80s and early-90s.

I love you.

I told my husband that joke.
He's a Cowboy fan.
You can guess his reaction.
