Love and Work: Creepy creep alert. Run!

Creepy creep alert. Run!

Today, my manager "bumped" into me 3 or 4 separate times. I told him months ago I didn't want to date him. He even asked me once if I was ever afraid of being kidnapped. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I told my boss about a coworker that had been hitting on me. She looked me dead in the eye and said "I was afraid that would happen. He's a bit of a chubby chaser." FML

The nerve of this dude

Today, my boss found me on a dating app. He found it perfectly acceptable to message me and didn't understand why I wasn't comfortable with it. He now wants to have a meeting with me about inappropriate behavior outside of work. FML

Uncomfortable

By bad timing - 03/09/2019 15:01 - United States - Monterey Park

Today, at work, my manager accidentally bumped into me, brushing my behind with the back of his hand. He was a bit embarrassed, so I jokingly said, “You could at least buy me dinner first!” He went to HR and told them I made him uncomfortable. I was just trying to lighten the mood. FML

Today, at work as a cashier, I had a male customer come up to me and ask me what hours I worked today, like he has done for several weeks now. Immediately after, my manager calls my lane to tell me to watch out for that guy. He has been stalking a co-worker of mine. Apparently, I'm next. FML

Motivated

By Leah - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boss gave me a speech about my "motivation issues". I've been working for him for 2 months, the commissions I've made for him paid off his bills, so what are my motivation issues? I turned down his offer of a date. I have a boyfriend. He keeps asking. FML

Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

Today, a colleague told me he was pretending to be me on a dating site, and that he has four pending dates. Last time I tried being myself, my first and only date pushed me down some stairs. FML

Hit and miss

By Jane. R - 16/06/2021 20:00

Today, a guy was hitting on me when I was at a café. I told him I was married, but it didn't deter him, so I told him to go away. Later, my husband came home from work with his boss for dinner and sure enough, it was the same guy who was hitting on me. Suffice to say, it was one awkward dinner night. FML

He sounds dangerous to me. Your choices are to report him to someone higher up than him or to leave your job. Very sorry he put you in this position as it is not fair to you. Do whatever makes you feel the safest. But please, don't let him keep doing this to you.

Well as cute and flattering as this sounds you should be aware and tell someone just in case! Be safe

Doesn't sound the least bit cute or flattering. Sounds annoying and a bit scary.

You can either report him to a higher up or file a police report for harassment.

Oh, wow. It got posted. I never post anything, not even comments on other sites. I'm OP, the manager didn't ask this in private, but it was still a weird/creepy/inappropriate question. I told him this. I work at a fast food chain, I've dealt with dumb guys before. I've called him out on it, if it continues I will involve HR. Especially since I've told him a problem before but it felt he mocked me for it because I was a girl. I've also called him out on the touching when he touched my hair and blamed it on his elbow. Like I said, I'm going to involve HR if he continues. I want a new job :/

You don't have to tolerate this at ALL. I'd report him anyway.

Yes. Definitely report this jerk. He has no business doing this, and keep calling him out if he continues to accidentally "bump" you. We women were trained wrong when we were young, unfortunately. We had to be good girls, take a lot of crap, be victimized for things that are not our fault, and are made to feel guilty for events that we did not cause. Put your foot down!!

Do not wait! Report right away to HR!!

IMO you should report him to HR now. I've been in situations similar and it always seems to escalate rather than dissipate. If not for you, which is more than enough reason, then do it to protect the next girl from his behavior.

Update: I told HR, because I know if he does anything else at least I have evidence. I also before now told people, so I'm watching myself.

I think that I would start calling your manager out for being clumsy. "Manager, you keep running into me. Are you okay? You should probably see a doctor about your balance problems." As for the kidnapping question "No, of course not. I carry a wide variety of tools to make potential kidnappers regret their life choices." Smile mysteriously and refuse to elaborate if asked about those tools. ... and start carrying a multi-tool and a decent knife, hidden on your person.
