Today, I was fired from my job on account of "sexual harassment" toward female employees. The harassment? Jokingly offering them foot massages when they were complaining about how their feet ached after a long shift, and complimenting them about their appearance when they felt down. FML

Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. FML
Today, I had to give a sexual harassment seminar to my department. Someone put in a complaint that my example made them feel uncomfortable. FML
Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML
Today, my bitchy co-worker decided that being given a compliment on her shoes is sexual harassment, and worthy of reporting me to our boss over. FML
Today, I got a call from work stating that my employment was being terminated. This was after being suspended while they investigated my sexual harassment claim. Their reason for firing me: misuse of company time. Yes, I suppose reporting being sexually harassed is a huge waste of time. FML
Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML
Today, the coworker I like reported me to HR for "sexual harassment." All I did was make him lunch every day, give him 'just because' gifts, and compliment him in a non-sexual way. It sure isn't "sexual harassment" when another coworker of ours does the exact same things; in fact, he praises it and acts indifferent to me. FML
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

Perhaps the male employees felt left out. Maybe at your next job, you should compliment their looks and offer them foot rubs, too. Think of this as a learning experience.

Was Marcellus Wallace your boss? I hear he can overreact to a well intentioned foot rub... But tbh, if these girls reported you, you obviously aren't friendly enough to be offering them foot rubs, so you come off as a creeper to me...

While that sucks, I have to vote YDI. Unless the girls were jokers right back, and can't take what they give, one has to be careful around some women.

Seriously, do you offer your mail co-workers foot rubs and tell them how nice they look? If saying a comment to a man would make you look gay, or get you punched, then don't say it to a woman. It's not hard.

I like how people are saying this guys a creeper when he was just being lamely teasing and complimenting at best. The "correct course of action is apparently to not be friendly to his coworkers and then get fired for "not being a team player" I mean sure. If he got a warning he deserves it but to go from happily working at some place to fired for harassment without a single goddamn warning is horseshit. Sounds like they were looking to boot him and use the supposed harassment as an excuse.

This sounds okay on paper, but you probably just aren't realizing how skeezy it comes off in person. You /are/ automatically responding to complaints of stress with somewhat suggestive comments, just because they're female. It's not surprising that they would be uncomfortable to just tell you it made them uneasy. Given how seriously women tend to be taken (i.e. - not very) I seriously doubt it was just "I was being nice but the SEXIST WOMEN RUINED EVERYTHING."
