A REALLY Intrusive Question at Work Today

[Graham]

Ron, that was an excellent response to the male idiot, but it seems the female twit wasn't ready to face real issues.

[cavscout]

Well, we know she isn't a rocket scientist.

How difficult could it be to figure out that it's easier to just lift the front and fire at will rather than have to dig the little general out of your shorts and dangle him out between the Jaws of Death zipper.

[Geoduck]

I'm just trying to get my mind around the fact that this guy is a therapist. Shouldn't he have some tact? or at least the good sense God gave an elephant? I'm glad that I'm not having to come to that guy with my problems.

[GMan]

Ron,

Your diplomacy is wonderful! Now I do wonder about your co-workers lack of tact.

[Kirkwood]

I just want to know why a man would want to look up a kilt. Must have some gender issues of his own.

[Dreadbelly]

Freud would be in here shouting about "penis envy."

Hmm.

Tell me about this fellow's mother...

First, I think it's GREAT that you were able to point out to the guy how inappropriate his comment was! Asking the lady what she would have said to that really drives the point home (her flippant response aside). Beautiful!

The best thing about peeing in the kilt is when you're out drinking/tailgating/etc. and need to take a whiz in the parking lot. With just a little "manipulation", you can pretty much do it unobserved. Not that I ever do that, of course. I'm just sayin'. :mrgreen:

And those yellow spots on your boots Jeff....????

You guys are helping me realize how much gallows humor there is in the therapy business....we deal with some heavy ****, often at a deep emotional level. Such teasing isn't unusual, we've worked together for years....what is so out of character is that both his and her comments cross the line for sexual harrassment.

Realized today, that under my state's licensure laws for therapists I have a statuatory duty to report all unprofessional conduct of peers (think military academy level honesty). The unprofessional conduct statutes clearly include sexual harrassment of coworkers.

If it wasn't such an incredibly busy day was gonna try to get to them and meeky say, "I'm so sorry, but I have to report you to the board for sexual harrassment. I don't really wanna do it, but if I don't I'll lose MY license to practice for failing to report...sorry...."

Think the adventure may have had some affect on me. Today was casual day...when I was getting ready to go to work I planned to wear a kilt...got hung up in deciding "which one" to wear....finally, just hopped into jeans and went in bifurcated today.
