You got it buddy...the only problem is, they keep redefining what makes them upset.414Flyer said:I had now ex-gf that was involved in a sexual harrassment lawsuit. Actually she was not the one doing the suing, she reported what he did (pretty much just typical male joke which she did not like), the guy got fired, and then he sued her and the company. He didnt win of course....
However we were talking about it and I told her it sounded more like a one time incident of inappropriate sexual behavior, not harassment. Boy that was the wrong thing to say, because emotionally to her, it was harassment, because what the guy said made her uncomfortable, regardless whether it was ongoing, which it was not. But that is turning into the modern definition.
Did your girlfriend ever consider the "x" factor? I notice people seem to have lost that "fear" of "consequences".
In otherwords, you go into a biker bar and while some biker dude is shooting pool, you see his basket of fries and a hamburger have been placed on the bar, quietly waiting for the biker to return from making the pool shot.
You, decide to lift the lid to his burger and hawk an oyster on it, right before he walks up to his meal.
Cause and effect? What comes next? I don't care how many times you push the improbability button, you're getting a pool cue cracked on your ass helmet.
Take the correlation over to your old girlfriend...she and this guy had an issue at work and it got him fired. Back in the old days, men settled things off the company property with a little knuckle duster and after it was over with, they went and got a beer together. Probably better friends than before.
Your friend got upset and that guy got fired...she could probably pull that same thing a couple of dozen times and never get murdered in a dark parking lot somewhere.
