What's new

Reverse Pet Peeves

Finding my lost phone with a locator service through my carrier. Such a relief!
 
The tweakers, crackheads and heroin addicts on TRAX are so fun to watch. A couple days ago, I walked right into a male transvestite with no pants or underwear on. I sit down nearby thinking I'm going to enjoy this sideshow, but the dude and his clothes pile stunk so bad that I had to move to the other end of the cart. I start texting when the smell starts approaching. I didn't even have to look up to tell that rancid, naked, strung out guy was approaching. I pulled my pocket knife and met his gaze as he was obviously coming towards me specifically, and he tweaked off back the other away. At least he had put on some underwear by then.

Yesterday this younger strung out chick was slapping the tap-on/tap-off display repeatedly. She looked like she needed help so I asked her what she was trying to do. No response. I ask again and she tells me she's trying to put coins into it and ran off all awkwardly down the escalator when I told her it doesn't take money.

I laugh at these people often enough but most times they're just annoying. Same goes for the not drugged up population.

Getting the new English bloke at work looking for Elizabeth Windsor from Germany's jewelry. Hours of fun.
 
I never compliment women's looks, attractiveness, lack of or anything else of that nature at work. It is not the place to do that. I am not perceived as an ******* for not commenting on their looks, maybe in other ways though.

Likewise I have never commented on men's looks that I work with and never had anyone get upset.

I have commented about something in a non sexual or looks way. For example I have told a co-worker man and women that their new shoes are cool.

I think the line is pretty easy to see and not cross and have never had an issue with it. Work is never a place for hitting on people in general and you should never sexualize or hit on people if you are their boss or superior in a work place.

I think the majority of women dont want to be hit on at work or have people people comment on their personal appearance. They are not dressing that way for you.

Yes, your wife/girlfriend/friend/family member is different and might expect you to comment and get offended if you dont, that is very different.

Had a long conversation on a train with a woman who, for some reason, told me, "Do you want to flatter a woman? Complement her shoes. Women put a lot of time into shoes, and if you let her know you noticed, it simultaneously compliments her beauty, intelligence, and fashion sense, without looking like a dopey pick up line, completely validating her for at least a few minutes. Don't be too specific or do it too often as then it gets creepy."

Probably one of the best pieces of advice I have ever received, and I can't even tell you the woman's name.
 
Did she have nice shoes?
