There's helpful and then there's too helpful. And the fact that she's female makes a difference. It shouldn't but it does.

Hmmm...Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostSomeone at work (who happens to be female) has an ongoing problem with her home internet connection meaning she's having to stay late at the office to finish work when she could be at home. I had a mifi dongle in my bag which I haven't used in ages and wouldn't miss if she borrowed it for a couple of weeks and it wouldn't cost me anything in data charges either (as long as she stayed in the limit).
As this was the second time I've ever spoken to her, I decided to avoid any awkwardness about possible motives and not offer it.
Reading too much into an innocent scenario. You're colleagues so you have a get out of jail free card.

"Do you want a go on my dongle I haven't used it for ages" is probably not something you should be saying to ladies you barely know.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostSomeone at work (who happens to be female) has an ongoing problem with her home internet connection meaning she's having to stay late at the office to finish work when she could be at home.

Edit: unless you're trying to harvest her ovaries, in which case, knock yourself out.
