  • Isn't this considered Sexual Harassment?

    So a guy comes up and asks if we sell Playgirl. Yes, Playgirl. I tell him we only have Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler, and direct him to the local convince store down the way, seeing the local porn shops don't stock new magazines. He leaves.

    Not more than 10 minutes later, he comes back. "Oh hey, thanks for the tip, they had it! say, can I ask you a question?" He then proceeds to ask a few questions about which school I went to. Finding no potential harm in humoring hm, I tell him. He then proceeds to pull out the issue of Playgirl he just bought and shows me one of the models and asks me if I knew him.

    For those of you that are staring in disbelief, lemme review: He asks about where I went to high school, and then proceeds to pull out said Playgirl issue, and flip to the pictorial of this one particular model. He then asks me if i knew the model, seeing that he's from where I went to High School.

    Now i'm kinda in a sorta "Oh fuck no, you just didn't show me a naked guy with his wee-wee dangling between his legs" and "I better just play along and hopefully I answer his questions to his satisfaction and he'll leave quietly." Now i'm answering him with a mix of lies and half-truths, all the while my co-worker, and three other customers are looking in disbelief and uncomfortable looks. He finally leaves, not only before dropping enough info that identifies the family in question.

    Maybe tomorrow, i'll catch an older guy spanking a teenager in a schoolgirl uniform in religion. No, then all the guys would stop working to watch.

    am I weird for not understanding the schoolgirl thing ?
    i mean the fact that they are probably immature and boring aside, you can't even take them to a pub so you can get drunk and forget the boring ?

        In most countries, "school-girls" are minors. I think thats what the Op means anyway.

          Nah, the schoolgirl thing comes mostly from catholic schoolgirls. Uniforms, strict rules, no boys allowed. It's a known fact that a lot of these girls will do some pretty wild stuff when they finally get released into the 'real' world, and a lot of guys' wet dreams involve being the first to bed these 'unspoiled' wild girls. Honestly, most of them are just being wild to rebel, and it turns out badly for all involved, but then again, most male fantasies don't work out the way the guy expects them to (let's involve another girl, that's a good idea.... idiots). Of course, there're a lot of guys who're turned on by the whole underage thing, too, but I don't understand that one, not even a little bit. Put simply, most guys are perverts.

          By the way, I apologize on behalf of my gender. They disgust me too.
          If ignorance is bliss, no wonder I'm so unhappy.

            Without wanting to detract from the topic, what disgusts me the most is how many people's thoughts and lives revolve around sexual thought... Urg...

            Not sure how underage you mean, but I guess it's cause some guys just never grew up mentally. So they target the younger girls, the ones that match their mental age. Just a theroy anyway. Anyway, back to your regurally scheduled thread.

              My parent's friend had a philosophy for me when I was old enough to start dating. It was "Date a woman who's smarter than you, there's many reasons for it and it prevents you from being an idiot."

                Okay, I was a Catholic schoolgirl. K-12. All co-ed, and I promise I didn't flip out when I went to college - nor did friends of mine who went to all-girl high schools. I don't know where this crap comes from.

                For that matter, classmates of mine could be wild enough IN high school; they just hid it better than some public school cohorts may have.

                  My husband once pointed out to me that when boys are starting to think about girls, their peer group consists of schoolgirls. His theory is that sometimes fantasy doesn't grow past that stage.

                  Me? I just don't know. My theory is: 'some people are really strange'. Which isn't very useful.

                  And for the OP: yes, it IS sexual harassment. Yes, you ARE entitled to call the police on him. Customer or not - you don't have to put up with that.
                  Seshat's self-help guide:
                  1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                  2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                  3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                  4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                    Hon'ya-chan, you had every right to tell him to GTFO. When a customer crosses that line, he is no longer a customer, he's a sexually harrassing assmunch.

                      Yeah i know, but still, it was like a shock all at once. Like a deer in headlights.

                        Ok, maybe a lot is an exaggeration, but I have known several. I personally don't want much to do with a girl who's out to do everything in her power to spite her father/religion/school/etc, but then again, I'm not your average guy. Also, we're talking about two different environments. I was talking about girls-only schools (I'd imagine they were a lot more common 20-30 years ago than they are now)not co-ed. I'd imagine co-ed would be a lot closer to what most of us would consider 'normal.'

                          You forget, the all girl schools are inevitably mere blocks away from the testosterone- laden all boy schools. If the kids want to go crazy in high school, they can manage it. Or they can avoid the opposite sex entirely and end up...odd. But that's a rant for another time.

                            The correct answer to this would have been "No." and then walk away.
