At my last gig I walked at full speed into the disabled loo (The only one on the floor) to find myself standing in front of a very startled lady. Almost the most awkward experience of my professional life.
The most awkward was a few minutes later when she walked back in and sat at a bank of desks behind me, just as I'd recanted the tale to a colleague who had now lost all composure.

I got told off once for turning my pockets inside out and asking the receptionist if she liked elephants. She said no so I was ok and she never got to see the elephant.

Originally posted by Bee View PostSexual harassment is when there is blackmail or some kind of pressure, usually done by the superiors, it's a crime.
There is no harm to invite a colleague to have dinner or for drinks, I know a lot of colleagues that get married with the colleagues.
Sexist comments from other colleagues it's lack of respect and wrong. The person can have a disciplinary process and could be fired, but for me this is not sexual harassment.

To summarise:
It's only sexual harassment because she's said no. Allegedly.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostNothing wrong with paying a compliment, if they don't like it you just make a note not to do it again!
Although, would you pay a man a similar compliment? I know straight guys who would but it's not the norm.
Either pay by cash or a bottle of vodka.
