Got hit on by a guy at work the other day

Then he up asked "so are you gonna get it cut off? I don't think you should, you probably look better with it"

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I dropped the food I was making, walked back to the offices, and told the supervisor she needs to go out there before someone needs an ambulance.

The super kicked him and his friends out, no refund, go argue with customer support.

It sucks dealing with the bigoted and phobic customers, being in a Bible thumping red state, but I'd rather deal with them than someone like that.

    What the absolute fuck?!

    I came into the comments kinda wondering if the meme was all joke or not, but damn!

    Why the fuck would anyone think that's even okay, much less think it's going to work as a pickup line?

    I am so fucking sorry you had to deal with that. That anyone would, obviously, but that's just so many layers of fucked up! Just glad your supervisor handled shit.

    I genuinely have no idea why anyone would think a "I'm not interested in men" would have allowed for further flirting, but it's downright insane to think the rest would have somehow made me change my mind. Batshit insane behavior. Fortunately my only runin with an obvious chaser. Usually any kind of flirtatious behavior stops the moment I speak. Voice training is... Difficult.

    It's not a meme, it actually happens, but usually it's less obvious/direct. The OP example is something you'd expect to see on social media pages for people who are public figures in some way. Whether that's social media influencer, popular streamer, or what have you.

    It's about 50/50 on whether a supervisor would do anything other than shrug and say "that sucks" but I'm glad I have the two supportive management team I do have, and a couple coworkers that I deal with most on my shift are great

    Unfortunately not every manager even bothers to "remember" to correctly gender me, and some of the 1st shift employees give me looks every time they see me, and most of 3rd shift refuses to even speak to me.

    OMG people talk that way to others in public!? I would not survive a customer facing job. Jesus fucking Christ, raised in a barn.

    Just today, people at work have misgendered me 14 times, twice very obviously trying to make it known they were doing it on purpose, one woman made a disgusted face and went "hmmph" and decided not to wash her hands because she would have had to stand next to me in the bathroom, one guy called my coworker a "dumb bitch" because she refused to sell him beer without a valid license, one coworker had to hide in the back because a guy who is creepy toward her but not enough that management will tell him not to come back, and I lost count of how many people did a double-take when they heard me speak.

    Jfc how do you live with that kind of stress? My son is trans, but I feel like it's easier for him to blend in, so to speak. He still faces discrimination, but not like this. I couldn't even imagine. I just want to lock him up in here and never let him out to the bad people :( thank you for sharing your experience, I think it'll help create more allies.

    Don't give me political power, because I would use it to terrorize and commit a mass murder of those types of cis men.

    Actually, we needed it. It's the only way they learn.

    I don't think they'd learn if they were killed

    terrorizing is deterrence.
    killing a few sympathizers is also deterrence.
    Otherwise chasing wouldn't exist.
