Yeah bloomin pansies (no offence to pansies) name calling and bullying is just character building after all. Just suck it up buttercups

Bullying is bad. But name calling isn't automatically bullying, and commenting on any aspect of someone's appearance isn't automatically name-calling.

And regardless, in the real world yes you should be able to "suck it up" if someone says something nasty to you. It's an important thing to be able to brush off such things, and a skill one can learn.
If your idiot workmate calls you 'beanpole' you shouldn't descend into a shame-spiral.

I don't agree at all there is zero need for anyone to say anything nasty based on shape, size, hair in this case etc., Brushing things off, in my experience, makes the comments acceptable.

It seriously is time we stopped name calling anyway, being called fat, tall, small, bald, (glasses wearer) is (can be) hurtful and is bullying plain and simple. Any bullying in the workplace (or anywhere) should be dealt with as bullying.

Bullying bald people though seems acceptable and they are meant to take it as 'fun'

Are we still allowed to bully gingers? They're barely part of the human species so should be fine.
