If I really went back through my old email accounts, I'd probably find some seriously ridiculous things in there from several different people. Just like old cold cases solved by DNA, these guys aren't ready for the emails, video evidence, and buried reports. I'm just not sure why anyone would leave a digital record of speaking to employees, vendors or peers this way but it happens all the time. This here is just a short and rather mild excerpt of what I dealt with from one particular CD that manages creative for a worldwide luxury brand. This is also at 3 or 4 am. I know some of you think women are being too sensitive, but I'm really looking forward to not having to humor twats like this just to get a check.
When I push back at these guys, I'm labeled either emotional (because vagina) or angry (because I'm also black). When I don't push back, I'm fun and exotic. Surprise, surprise no more work from this client after I blocked him on FB. He used to text me the worst things, but I changed my phone number years ago. So, he switched to harassing me on FB instead.
This guy is married. He also knows I've been in a relationship for over a decade. I've never dated him, his friends or anyone he knows. But, he's known me for 15+ years (in a professional sense). He's a fucking slime ball and I get the chills just thinking about his lame forced hugs.

- I would very carefully (VERY carefully) try to send some anonymous screenshots to his wife.nb
- It would be really scary and difficult to send them, though, because he could maybe figure it out and you don't want thatnb
- But goddamn, if my partner was behaving this way I would want to know!nb
- Aside from the fact that this guys is gross -- it must be brutal to have to navigate these kind of interactions all the time.Gnash
- "interactions' is being too kind here, sorry. You handled it well, though.Gnash

- i said no so many times deathboy. and i did block him right after this convo. that's why there are other ppl doing MY work right now. what's the solution?shellie
- deathboy didn't even bother to read the post, he just went straight to telling you how to solve the problem. A real fucking classic genius bro move! Good grief.nb
