Over react much?

    I am working today, which right off the bat sucks.

    It being the weekend I am not in my usual suit, I am wearing a yellow hoody.

    I have quite a good relationship with most people in here and have never, until now, ruffled any ones feathers.

    While in the canteen I was with a large group of people, maybe 10, someone commented on my hoody "you know, yellow is the colour of sexual frustration"

    I replied to my female colleague "well you are wearing blue and white, blue represents royalty and white represents purity so who's story is more believe able"

    Queue a few slightly uncomfortable laughs and lame excuses to leave.

    All of a sudden I am being threatened with Sexual Harassment claims!

    I have always been the right amount of PC. I respect everyone and manage to have a little fun.

    Also, its a young body of staff in which all prudeness is absent.

    P.S. The soundness of my sexual mind was questioned first!!

    What do ye think?

    If she's going to claim for sexual harassment you might as well get your moneys worth and fondle her

    Well, I'm no detective, but I think I was trying to say that my colleague overreacted somewhat?

    Cryptic I know, I'll dumb it down to finger puppets next time maybe?

    So you point out two facts about colour representation and then ask a question. Where exactly is the sexual harrasment? You did not answer your own question by saying she is cheap and easy, you left the question open.

    You have just as much grounds for bringing a claim against her tbh.

    If running the risk of slander and defamation wasnt a prospect here I would post her pic.

    She isnt the most fondlable girl you've ever seen.

    Fondlable. Thats a word right?

    Admit it, the chick was wearing a blue thong and a white bra. You know because you checked. Which is strange if you have a case of the yellow ghey.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    wtf is with this </div> thing? maybe I've been away from teh internets too long but I have no idea what this means or what the refrence is, if any.

    back o/t tell her to fire away with her case. she hasn't got a leg to stand on. She took a shot at you in a sexual way first, it will backfire on her. she = retard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,706 ✭✭✭120_Minutes


    Slap her with a counter claim, she has no case, but you actually do.

    teach her a lesson tbh.

    Brother, that woman is a pedegree cnut!
    If the story is as described, you must make a counter claim.



    ..or give me her name, and i will give her somthin to occupy her mind.
    I detest fcukers like her, big mouth fcukers that cant take a retort.

    you done wel son. Chin up

    Simple really, if she complains you counter-complain. She'll get nowhere as none of it constitutes sexual harassment anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭PurpleBerry


    Calm down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,439 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    God I hate ****ers like her. I get it all the time in work. Some arsehole in a different department thinks they know everything and goes off on one at you until you point out that they are wrong (always satisfying) and to learn some ****ing manners. You think that's it end of story and they go and complain to your boss minus the part where they were the rude asshole.

    Let her go to HR and make sure you get these witnesses in and it will be obviouls you did nothing wrong. If she can't take it she shouldn't dish it out tbh. Make sure your HR department bring disciplinary proceedings against her too for making false allegations. I got someone sacked for that once :D But he was just criminally insane.

    Oh and yellow hoody juts means you've got sh*t fashion sense

    EDIT Great comeback by the way

    Should have asked her to explain how Brazil hae won the world cup five times.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭LolaLuv

    It's also 2008!

    have we not grown to accept all colours yet?

    "Hey look, he's wearing something other than black, brown or grey"

    "I bet he's on the way to a mickey convention right now"

    Surely a bridge has been built?!?!?

    Take the initiative and make a complaint before she gets a chance to. You'll probably both get warnings or something......

    I too feel for this one.

    The thread was called "Over react Much?"

    Then she over reacted. A double play of sorts.

    Comedy through irony...

    True that, but if she was to come to this website and see and see all the posts that were inspired by my story........That would certainly be defamation

    Dude you are such a thick.

    She was obviously trying (very badly) to flirt with you.

    Women don't bring up guys sex lives unless they are attempting to flirt with them.

    And you called her a common tramp.

    Well done son. Woman scorned and all that.
