Ok A person I work with (who is the CD) keeps calling me, and everyone, else names like this. Starting to drive me a little mad as I am the only male in the Co. (only 5 people) and others have started to use similar words.... Driving me crazy
- Fariska0
respond back with such names:
"hey darlin'"
"yes sweetheart?"- she wouldn't batter an eyelid thoughDancer
- how bout puddin?rocknonstop

My friend's mom (my Australia) used to do that all the time and I figured it was an Australian thing. I didn't mind it. It's probably a different matter at work though. Just try calling them the same thing back, and if that doesn't work you are screwed.

Or get really gushy like "Yes, Sugar-dumpling" or "What can i dootily-doo for you, smoochy-poo?"

Annoying as fuck. I find the best way to deal with problems like these is to make a joke of it, make some sarcastic, highly amusing quip, that's just loud enough for everyone can hear. She won't know whether you're being serious or not and will think twice about calling you darlin' incase you make fun of her again.

Respond with 'sugartits' or 'cunt'.

my boss calls people honey. I thank my lucky stars because she's a woman. I once had a gay dude boss who called me honey. His breath smelled like sea salt and moth balls. He wore shorts with loafers and no socks. I felt uncomfortable.
- When my boss calls people honey, it's a good day and I can joke with her.gramme
- Oh god, you're right. It's much worse when a guy does, even to a girl / woman.Jaline
- My boss and most of my coworkers are women.Jaline
- When she calls us "hey" it's not a good day and I stay the hell out of her way.gramme
- hahJaline
- This new eggshell carpet is wonderful :|gramme

- flavorful0
Can she not pronounce your first name?
I mean you have quite the name, I'd be annoying you by calling you like, "Dancers With Wolves", or, "DDR", or, "Ali-Ali-Ocks-And-Free", or, "Late For Dinner."

I think she would prefer "Sweet tits"

Just be glad you don't get, "If I was 20 years younger the things I would do to you."
Because you can't respond with, "I don't want to burst your bubble, but I wouldn't have fucked you for practice if you were 20 years younger."
Granted those comments usually come after a few drinks.
At work I've gotten a litany of potential sexual harassment suits, and other harassment suits but it's a double standard really.
- ahahahhaJaline
- suits perpetrated BY you or ON you?harlequino
- Haha on me, I'm remarkably behaved at work. Which is why I think I'd be at least a B-List actor if I tried.flavorful
- Umm...flav is pretty young, so I'm guessing there are older people hitting on him.Jaline
- Plus, that would mean he is hitting on 4 year-old children.Jaline
- Broads/Dames at work always tell me I smell good, that I look great ... it can get ... okay not with my ego. I enjoy it.flavorful
- she's under a year older than meDancer
- Only in the past year has my company started hiring people around my age in my department.flavorful
- But as I like to say, "You don't meet your honey, where you make your money."flavorful
- Send some of those MILFs over here.Jaline
- Everyone around me is older. Some are only a few years older, so it's not so bad, but the rest treat me like a kid.Jaline
- ...which is fine, I guess. They give me advice (though I don't ask) and don't get too strict with me.Jaline
- Oh. I never had a non-male boss, so I would probably hate fuck her and then try for a lawsuit. I don't know how courts work though.flavorful
- Haha yea, we're in the same boat. I wonder when this gravy train will end when I mess up horribly and just smile and it's okay.flavorful
- okay. One day someone will go, "What the fuck are you smiling at old man, you're fired."flavorful
- I would never do a lawsuit. Too embarrassing. It's probably different for a guy though.Jaline
- hah, flavor, maybe everyone around you will get older too. but I guess not, if they are hiring younger people.Jaline
- ....and what is with us and notes?
;)Jaline - Notes are the greatest! Now before when you had multiple threads, now you have multiple notes within multiple threads!flavorful
- I know, they are amazing. But I wish they would count towards something. You and I would have the most :)Jaline
- I wonder what our average note count is per post. This is #20, probably like 8-12, haha.flavorful
- And of course that went to 21, hahahh. We would have a lot. It'd save us from some of the posts we lost due to banned threads.flavorful
- threads. Damn it. I hate when don't get that last word in there, haha.flavorful
- yeah...very trueJaline
- I mean it's true that we would have more. I had 40,000+ posts until more people got banned.Jaline
- You'll always be at the very least two and a half times better than me. :Dflavorful
- hah, you never know. anyway, time to anthologize you before leaving for lunch.Jaline
- hahaa, which reminds me I should probably go to work since you won't be on to note talk to.flavorful
- hahahaJaline
- Actually, I never went to work, haha. And now I don't see the point because it's 02PM and I was leaving at 03PM anyway to get prepped for Game 6.flavorful
- prep for Game 6, ahah.flavorful
