The world's least funny, most inappropriate "joke". WARNING for language

[veniteangeli]

I dealt myself a straight, and the customers were predictably incredulous. Next hand, I ALMOST did it again. Four cards were a straight, but the fifth ruined it, essentially meaning I had nothing. The following conversation happened.

ME: If you don't know me by now, you will never never never know me
IJG: Inappropriate Joke Guy

IJG: Oooooh, if you'd gotten another straight...
ME: (joking, as the majority of the table had been playfully bantering back and forth up until this point) Whatchoo gon' do?
IJG: Rape you.
ME: .... D:

I reported him to my immediate supervisor who reported him to the next level up, and so on. Their response was to move me from the table. He was allowed to continue playing.

Hmm. Maybe this belongs in Calling out Coworkers or Morons in Management after all.

~Begin disclaimer: language~


That's not funny. EVER.

I hate people who think that saying they are going to rape someone else -it happens over online multiplayer games a lot - is funny, cool, or even remotely ok.

One of the reasons I never bought an X-Box, or play many shooter multiplayers, is because I've found that those kind of people just flood those kinds of games. I'm winning, they know I'm a girl, all I hear is "I'M GOING TO RAPE YOU SO HARD" or "RAPE HER ASS DAMNIT" because something is threatening about a girl being better or winning a game against a person with a blood leeching, mind controlling parasite between their legs. Ugh.

That man should've been removed from the building. Immediately. Maybe not banned, but definitely kicked out with a warning that kind of language and talk was not acceptable here. If I had been at that table I probably would've read him the riot act. I cannot stand that kind of... "humor."

[taurinejunkie]

What the hell? (both at him saying that - or even thinking it, really - and at the higher-ups for not removing him. IANAL but, I think what he said was worth calling the cops?

The rules of CS.com actually prevent me from telling what I would have done to him if I had witnessed the scene.

Agreed 100%. Your boss definitely dropped the ball here. And saying anything more would put me into Fratching territory.

[Peppergirl]

Wow. "Joke" about raping a woman and get to stay. Nice. Real fucking nice.

IMO, your management is more disgusting to me than this douchebag.

[bhskittykatt]

Agree with the others that the boss should have kicked him out. You have a right to a harassment-free workplace, and that include sexual harassment from customers. If I were the boss, I'd have kicked the asshole from the premises with a warning for his first offence, and with a trespass citation if it was a subsequent offense.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

You know, I want to stay out of Fratching territory so I'm not going to comment on this except to say I think your boss made the wrong decision.

[Victory Sabre]

That...... wow?!?! The person (and that's not the right word) should have been kicked out, with a ban.

[MournBlade]

Wow, not cool.
The mouthy bugger needed a sammitch of the knuckle kind.
Your boss is an ass, if anything happens after a threat is made and they do nothing, they are wide open to getting sued.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I am not intrigued by your boss's ideas and would not like to subscribe to his newsletter.

[Andara Bledin]

I'm appalled by your boss' ideas and would burn his newsletter. >_<

That sort of "joke" should earn the speaker a vacation away from wherever it is they are, for at least the rest of the day.

^-.-^

“…a person with a blood leeching, mind controlling parasite between their legs.”

Best. description. evar.

Even made my husband laugh!

As for that ... thing ... that made the so-unfunny joke, well, that's why God made little green Glockies. (Mine's green, anyway. I call it "Greenpiece.")

I always wanted one of the pink tasers

And my EVE corp are great, they have ganked guys who insulted me with crude sex based insults - I didn't find out about it until later when the gankee complained to me.

[veniteangeli]

...lots of stuff i really liked...

Thank you.

Yep, that's pretty fucked up Sadly, some people are more interested in keeping a customer happy than the safety of their employees.

Reminds me of what happened at scout camp some years back. One of the kitchen staff was...for lack of a better term...extremely hot. Amanda was probably about 17, very sweet, pretty, etc. Did I mention that she was hot? No surprise then that most of the staff went out of their way to help her out and/or hit on her. Many of the campers had similar ideas.

But, there was one guy--a camper--who went way beyond that. He would actually *stare* at her when she was in the dining hall. Some of the things he did and said were beyond creepy. After he said that he wanted to rape her...things kinda went out the window. That is, he not only got warned by the entire staff to leave her alone...but after he spent a day trying to stalk her...he got his ass beat. She'd already told him to get lost, but he clearly didn't get that message.

It wasn't one of us that did it. Rather, it was one of the kitchen staff. They were actually hired by another firm, and not subject to the camp's rules. So when the camp management refused to toss the guy (can't have an upset camper, after all), kitchen staff took care of the problem.
