Don't let the moose get you done. Everyone has a fetish...apparently you found your co-worker's.

Unfortunately I already know what her fetish is. She has shared too much of herself around here....literally and the production employees talk. All I can say that our poor ladies restroom sink deserves an award.....and probably therapy....

Depending on your definition of Vienna Sausages perhaps.

Again you're making me hungry lol all this talk about sausages lol. oh man...

Did you say steak!?!?

So, if you worked in a smaller build, and were the only male there, and one of the employees was a vocal lesbian: would it be unkind to empty the juice in the sink and leave the can from your tuna in the shared bathroom????

I'm confused why her being a lesbian has anything to do with you.....

Makes for an unpleasant work environment.

I worked with a very vocal lesbian woman once. Ridiculous. Every day she would constantly talk about being lesbian, things she did as a lesbian, things she wanted to do to women in the office, how men were animals, etc.



Yet if I mentioned to the secretary that she looked cute today I'd be in HR before I could finish the sentence.

I've never had issues with any lesbian ever. I can't see why we would. We're into the same things usually. Although I have never really had many experiences with the lesbians that have more testosterone than I do. I've had several work for me throughout the years and they were all great.

A coworker openly discussing sexual advances with another coworker who doesn't want is grounds for a sexual harassment claim. Either you're making things up, or you need to stop being walked over and speak up.

Someone's sexuality has nothing to with an unpleasant work environment and actually that's complete discrimination.

I did not read his post as anti-gay, dude.

[Yapakanichi]

Well then tell her to shut up and no one cars, god damn grow a set. lol This is about Not_Judy and his or her work environment, stop making it about you.

Never_Enough while you might not interpret it as anti-gay, other readers might. I did. Am I wrong? I don't know. But why bring it up?

[King Rudi]

Nice going UncleWede .....you come in here and drop the "lesbian fruit" and sit back to watch the swarm of political comments like flies.

@ "lesbian fruit"

Look I'm sorry it was just uncalled for....it's not political at all BTW. I don't vote or care. Just tired of seeing all this shit. Have a mod delete the comments, again I don't care.

[King Rudi]

How is it that the politics are pouring into all of the threads? I just got acclimated here, I'd prefer not to have to find another form of work-time mastery.

In private, off-duty conversations, some of the other women have had no idea about the reference to tuna and a woman. The only reason I mentioned it was that she would, potentially because of her stated sexual preference, have a better understanding of the association.

Personally, at this point I think she is a cool individual, as much as any other of the coworkers I have to share the bathroom with.

By making a joke, I was actually celebrating her difference. I meant no disrespect to her sexuality. There are just no men in the building to commiserate with.

I think you misunderstood. Her discussions were not about me or directed towards me at all. I have no problem with gays/lesbians, but this woman was one of those who knew she could cry "discrimination" the minute someone said something about it, so nobody really questioned her. I agree that some of the things she said/did should have been considered harassment, but I don't think HR wanted to touch that situation with a 10 foot pole unless necessary, fearing she would target them.

The issue was more the open discussion she had daily about her sexuality in the workplace. Regardless of gay/straight it made the environment uncomfortable for those working in it (not just me).

Welcome and enjoy the read. The problem continues and will for as long as I stay there or she leaves, whichever comes first. By all means share your experiences and maybe we can brainstorm to help each other come to a formidable solution, whatever that may be.
