What the hell did you just say? Work edition!

I just overheard this conversation in the grocery store beside my office: Woman: "STOP IT. Ugh. Fine. I'm going to go shit on your car." Man: "Pfft. Girls don't poop." Woman: "IM GOING TO MENSTRUATE ON YOUR CAR!"

My co-worker is ranting and raving right now about a payroll problem we had with this kid's check. She goes, "I'm going to sit on his face. And fart."

She's 65 BTW.

Ugh gross. My 60 year old dirty old woman co-worker makes a lot of jokes about dicks, since one of our biggest accounts is Dicks Sporting Goods. She makes innuendo about the sales guy that totally creeps me out and disgusts me. When our warehouse manager comes by, she meows and offers him a tampon. It's her way of calling him a crybaby (I don't know what the TOS are on theknot... can we say the p word?). That DOUBLE offends me because that's insinuating that he's acting like a woman, because women are inferior to men and can't handle stress or whatever. AND SHE'S A WOMAN! Why would you, as a woman, insult somebody else by calling them a woman?

It's always extra depressing when fellow women jump onboard the "I demand to know about and control your uterus" ship.

I had someone tell me I should get pregnant as soon as we're married to "lock down" FI. Because apparently once I'm pregnant he'll have a biological imperative to protect his offspring and mate, so he won't leave me. I'm sure all the single parents in the world will be interested to learn that.

She told me if I wait he'll stray because he'll realize he can get a hotter chick. Because, according to her, men can always land hotter chicks. It doesn't work the same with women. We can't land hotter men. She used some science sounding words to explain this too.

I just stared at her because I couldn't think of words.

You can use whatever words you want as long as it's not a racist slur or isn't calling someone a name. And you can't say fuck you/off/yourself/etc. You also should not say eat shit, eat a dick, etc.

You can use things as adjectives and descriptors, or for what they actually are. Just don't use them in name calling or 'go ____ yourself' terms.

I have never seen anyone say, "Go shit yourself," but if any of you say it I can promise I won't warn you, but only because I'll be laughing too hard to do anything but probably shit my own pants.

Has anyone reported her to HR for harassment or creating a hostile work environment? Someone in authority needs to sit her down and let her know that there are negative consequences for not applying a brain to mouth filter on oneself.

An ex-friend got PG right after the wedding because she was convinced this was true. A family member is trying to accidentally-on-purpose get PG to "lock down her man".

I work with STIs and vaginas so I say a lot of fun things at work. When you give a research presentation it is custom at the end to thank the people that helped you, gave you supplies, etc. At the end of my last talk I said "Thank you Dr. K for giving me the herpes"

My mom had me when she was 43. I'm perfectly healthy, and the pregnancy was healthy and she was healthy before, during, and after. Just learned dad wanted abortion, mom said no. Go mom!

Chipmunk415 · December 2014

Well, following the comments by annoying co-worker, I had a conversation with awesome coworker. She was unimpressed by annoying's comments- her younger child was born 3 months before she turned 40.

She's encouraging me to wait, not because she feels she has any right to tell me what to do reptoductively, but because she regales me with tales of what mischief her kids get into (she's divorced, the dad is in another state, and the house additionally has a dog two cats a bird and a hermit crab) as a 6 yr old and an 11 year old....and follows it up with -so wait a while before you decide to lose your sanity, your good furniture, etc...oh and register for a wet vac when you get pregnant, those things are a life saver! I of course fall over laughing to hear what's going on now.

Awesome coworker and I agree, if I went to boss lady for reproductive advice, boss lady (who was the oldest girl out of 11 kids and had a hand in raising her younger siblings) would probably tell me to get sewn up and to hellwith having kids.

Despite the annoying old bat in my office, most of the women are relaxed and "have em when you want em types" the men know better than to ask

lurkergirl · December 2014

The lady whose kids I tutor asked me what the dress code was for my wedding. I was just kind of like, "Well, no dress code, it's a 6pm wedding at a not super formal venue, so I'm sure everyone can figure it out." She told me that maybe she could find an invitation from her own wedding where they "put something in the invitations that was basically a gracious way of telling guests to not wear jeans." She also told me that the only reason she didn't have a black tie wedding was that she knew "half the guest list wouldn't be able to it 'right' and it would drive [her] crazy to see people not dressed correctly." She also tried to warn me about TY cards and says things like, "I don't even understand why they're necessary. Didn't I just throw a massive party where I fed you and got you drunk? But you have to do them anyway."

(FWIW, she really is a nice person, just lacking on the wedding etiquette front.)

Am I allowed to tell someone that I hope they poop their pants on their wedding day?

If the person sucks as an individual, then yes. You have my blessing. (Please record/screenshot/link me to this interaction as necessary)

I did. Multiple times. Even recorded her saying this stuff while I was on a phone call with a customer (I work in customer service) in which you can hear her ranting and raving OVER THE SOUND OF ME TALKING TO THE CUSTOMER!
They sit her down and talk to her. She gets better for 3 weeks. Then she turns into a raging see you next tuesday again. Because they don't ever catch her in the act, they won't do anything. They refused to listen to my recording. They say "But she's so good at her job." No. She's really good at bullshitting. She does an amazing about face when "the authority" is around. They can't catch her in the act of sucking at her job or being rude to customers or making inappropriate jokes, so they think we have a personality clash problem.
This is why I now spend approximately 6 hours of my work day on TheKnot forums

Yesterday at work I was feeling under the weather with a low grade temperature, so I wore a mask. When people asked why I wore the mask and found out I wasn't feeling well, and didn't want to possibly spread anything, it all started. I got "are you pregnant? You might be pregnant. Are y'all TTC?" at least 3 different time from different people. I was beginning to think I might actually be pregnant! Then j reminded myself no, having a fever does not make you pregnant. So I giggled to myself and thought of you guys, because I finally got asked. Can't a girl be sick without being pregnant?

l9i · December 2014

When I was engaged and not yet married I was at a conference with two male coworkers. One, my mentor, about mid 30s and recently started his family, the other early 20s and not settling down yet, were asking about the upcoming wedding, no big deal. Then jump straight to are you going to have kids right away? Umm, what? I responded with "kid's aren't on our radar for the near future". This then led into a sermon from my mentor who's religious (I'm not) about how I get no say. It will be God's decision if and when I have children.... Nope, sorry, it doesn't 'just happen'. We aren't ready yet and take steps to avoid that. Sure, theres a slim chance it could happen, but if so then we accept it and move on. It was all just so odd and strange. I expected it from women, but I did not expect two male coworkers to lecture me about how to conceive....
