Poll of the Day > Do you think a male customer telling a worker (woman) thanks pretty lady is bad?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just witnessed this and it was painful. how is saying "thank you beautiful" sexual harassment?! I can understand if he said "thanks sugar tits" but seriously

Ugh, this world, it's just too much for me now.............

Yes, unless you're an old man because then the woman will just laugh.

Those bastards can get away with anything...

Maybe she doesn't want the compliment?

Yeah pretty sure everyone hates dirty old men, so they only get away with it if you don't think everyone hating them is suitable consequence of their behavior.

Idk if I called the cashier at the grocery store "sexy man" as he bagged my food it'd be rightfully awkward and embarrassing

by bad I mean inappropriate?

No. Than again I'm from Yorkshire where it's common to refer to most gals as "love". Such as "thanks love".
Also, jokingly me and a old work colleague who is a guy used to always say things like "thanks babe" whenever we held the door open for each other, passed each other items and whatnot. I had no issue with it as it was just banter.

I think if somebody is made to feel uncomfortable in the work place, the person making them feel uncomfortable should take it upon themselves to stop doing whatever they're doing that is making them feel uncomfortable, just to not be a bad person.

It's a bit weird.

If you're an old man or a simpleton with a funny accent, it's probably fine.

After a lifetime of being able to say all the dumb shit that they want, they are so darn fragile when you actually call them out, I got tired of crushing the spirits of old men

Well OK not tired, it just doesn't feel sporting

I'd think it was weird but I'd put him in his place pretty quickly if he thought he was going to ramp it up the next time.

Yeah I've never even watched it. I don't want to either. This topic did remind me of the film though.

Not "bad", more like inappropriate.

Not unless he insists on doing it after she has told him to stop.

The first time? It's going to vary by regional culture, but generally, not anticipating that people aren't going to be okay with it isn't that egregious a fault. Subsequent times, after being asked to stop? It's not okay.
