  • A rather, er...tasteless comment made to my co-worker...

    My co-worker (cashier) dyed her hair bright red. She shared this story with me tonight. A guy comes up and as she's ringing him up he said, "Nice hair! But I'll bet you're not that color everywhere, are you? " When she looked surprised and didn't know what say, he said, "Hey, I'm a guy! It wouldn't be interesting unless I said that." Oh, and in other news, we had the police come due to a dispute between a few women and a......parking spot. *sigh*

    So who won? The women or the parking spot?

      My bet is on the parking spot. It has concrete proof.

      Despina83, Being a man, there have been times I have thought the same thing. Being a gentleman, they always remain thoughts. Your coworkers customer was totally out of line and should have been reported to your supervisor. No woman should be subject to this sort of thing. It's one thing to think that way, it's quite another to verbalize the same.

          That only threw me off the first half dozen times I heard it. Sadly that sort of thing seems to be getting all to common.

                            How is intimating, "I want you to know that I'm thinking about your pubic hair" interesting? Juvenile, maybe. It strikes me as the kind of unremarkable, obvious fact of anatomy that middle school boys are preoccupied with, along the lines of "boobies make milk" and "girls sit down to pee." I can honestly say that I've never thought about the color of anyone's hair. It comes in four or five different colors, none of which make any difference...what's to think about?

                            Maybe it's different for guys. Maybe they all still have that middle school boy in them that delights at having some knowledge of a secret area and the urge to giggle about it outloud, no matter how obvious or irrelevant that bit of information is. But for goodness sake, no one wants to hear about it.

                              Or just say "It stays this colour no matter where I am sir, isn't that obvious?"
