a coworker had that problem. he had photos of his wife & his step-daughter on the computer. Someone said, "Ooo, who is SHE?" indicating the daughter.
His reply, "Dude she's NINE!"
(yes they backed off instantly, tho i suspect she (and her step-dad) will have to beat the sailors off with a stick when she's of age)
Never will understand the guys who hit on women at jobs where they can't escape... Though I've been known to engage in some light flirting, that's merely to keep in practice. Honest, I swear...
Anyhow, having worked at a grocery store where, for a long time, I was the only guy on the front end and having a decently good 'psycho look' while being relatively tall, I was used as the 'SO excuse guy' quite a few times. It worked well...
Though with some of the serial creeps, I have to wonder what they thought after the third or fourth cashier told them she was seeing me...

Well see.....my longest relationship/boyfriend on record (the one I was dating last year) and I met when I worked at the gas station years ago. He never flat out hit on me or acted like a perv. But I noticed he came in nearly every day I worked....but he was always very polite and nice....he never asked for my number or anything like that.
It wasn't until I started working at the factory and he found out about it that he asked my motherly coworker if I was single. He gave his number to her, and she gave it to me and everything went from there.
There's a right way and a wrong way to go about things like that.
I met my current boyfriend at the bar (before anyone flames me, my parents met at a bar and have been married for almost 24 years! And I was sober that night!) and even though normally I never make the first approach with a guy.......I was in love at first sight and I had to try. I didn't hit on him or act like a dumb slut. I noticed him playing pool with one of my guy friends, so I walked up to my guy friend, said hello, asked what his friend's name was, said hello, shook his hand and introduced myself. He seemed really shy and backed off, so I gave up and walked away. I don't know what happened in the following hours....but I saw him kinda smiling at me right before bar close so I went up to him and asked if he'd like to go to an after bar party with my friends and me, and he pulled me into a hug and said "I'd go anywhere with you!" and the rest is history. And no, I cannot get him to this day to say what changed his mind.......for the record, he wasn't drunk, either.
My humble suggestion (if it hasn't already been mentioned) would be to use one of the large co-workers in a different way. Next time you get asked for a strip search, politely agree and inform them that (large co-worker) will be handling that and they may want to watch out for his large wedding ring during the cavity search.
You could take a stopwatch to see which one actually thinks about it for the longest before declining your offer.
My college was dumped between the ghetto and the projects.
Walking to class and, even the dining hall was a... well, I was going to say scary proposition, but decided proposition was too acturate word to use....
Then there was the day my boyfriend was trying to pull me and my flip flop out of ankle deep mud when the wanted rapist in town offered to help me out.

From the guy standpoint and someone who has been in a long relationship most guys don't care when they are not with someone or think they are being funny. And if the guy is a real perv mentioning a female coworker as your other half can turn into some rather disturbing questions.
BTW I don't look anymore, I really don't. I figure what's the point. I beleive guys think it's okay to flirt with women but lack the understanding of what they should say and should not say.
But if someone ever said that I would be inclinded to say well I don't do that but Bob our head of security does. He's about 6'5 200ish all muscle. Oh yeah and his fingers are bigger then a polish sausage. He loves it when people ask to be searched.
I like to scare small childeren, it's fun and as long as you can out run the parents you can get away with it.
I dunno...the "I have a boyfriend" line has not really worked for me in the past, they usually say they want my number anyway so we can "be friends". I can take compliments, but when someone says no, why can't they leave it at that? Also, why would they want to be "friends" with me based on physical traits alone?
I remember at my job we had a guy who would deliver the donuts at like 10am and he took a liking to me. He asked me out a couple times and would always compliment me when he had the chance. I denied him several times...about 3 times. I then told him I was 18. (Even though that's the legal age, it was obvious too young for him since he gave me an embarressed look). After that, he stopped asking and bothering me. Ugh.
The guy came through again, this time through my male coworker's line. Said coworker is also gay but it's not inherently obvious. He tried the same line again on my male coworker and afterwards, he told me "he's harmless, he's just like [my coworker]"
And as for the claiming of boyfriend, I've got something close...the butchers who work nearby are very friendly and I'm currently seeing one of them
I've never had anyone outright flirt with me at work, though I've had some smiles from cute girls in my time, then again I was usually quite a bouncy person on the till. ^.^
Also: Whatever happened to the pics that were promised? *hides*
Also, does anyone here know if the "he/she's my boy/girlfriend, I don't think they'll be happy to know you hit on me!" line actually works while using a coworker? I'm tempted to do it, but dunno how well it works. I was planning on using the bigger guys to do so-most of them would be willing
It works okay... so long as
1: Coworker is willing to go along with it, meaning they aren't like "what?" or "I am?"
2: said CW is with in line of sight of SC....
