So today, I got an official warning at work for sexual harassment. The big boss came down from the city and I had to have a meeting with him and my manager.
So my group is pretty laid back, we joke a lot, swear, sometimes things even get a bit dirty. A while ago the group were talking about YouTube prank videos, I joined in the conversation and I said oh yeah I saw this one where this guy gets vagina scented perfume on his fingers then goes up to people and says guess what I did last night and tries to make them smell it (guess what I did last night by "whatever") if you haven't seen it. That's all I did, just told them about the video, and I remember one girl seemed to get pretty offended by it, and said that can be considered sexual harassment, and I realised I upset her so I kinda said sorry and realised I'd fucked up and made sure I was careful about what I said around her from then. This was like 6 weeks ago though so I'm not sure why she only decided to take it further now.
Anyway my question is do you think I crossed the line? What should I do
Wyatt Johnson
you are a molester and deserve to lose your job user
Jose Hill
Say sorry and ignore it. It's not a big deal. Also sabotage her career because she's probably a sociopath just trying to fuck with you.
Jayden Miller
Break the ice by joking about raping her to put her in her place for reporting you.
Parker Anderson
Priced in
Aiden King
Wow you’re sick
Oliver Johnson
>socializing with coworkers
You fucked up.
Easton Perry
how fucking autistic are you? I would be completely bothered as well if some coworker stranger was having that discussion
You may get yelled at but you shouldn't get any real ramifications. If you do, I would suggest getting a lawyer, becuase this is a BS incident and you don't deserve to lose your job or get fucked for any future jobs because of it.
Jaxson Jones
oh this is another disguised low IQ pol thread
trying to 'red pill' people about women. Gotcha
Christopher Roberts
What the fuck is wrong with you? Fucking autist. HOLY SHIT.
Blake Hernandez
Never talk to her again and make sure everyone knows what happened. If you're lucky that will discourage any remaining cry-bullies.
Carter Flores
Go back to /pol/ you inbred virgin
Charles Hill
this you should lighten the mood a little
Carter Sanchez
if thats you in the pic then your problem is pic related.

OP got too comfy around coworkers.
coworkers aren't your friends.
never get too comfortable or you'll let something slip.
Zachary Rodriguez
why not?
guy is showing videos of and talking about having people whiff scented vagina fingers. If i was paying this idiot every hour I would be gone, especially if hes bothering my employees.
I guarantee you there is more to this
"and sometimes i get a bit dirty"
Connor Watson
Love all the trolling here, however a genuine question: Where in the world can this pass for sexual harassment?
Landon King
You make me sick.. Women did not choose to be a woman, they where born that way. Mocking them because of something they can't change, is sick. You wouldn't harass a kid with downsyndrom, why would you then think its okay to harass a woman?
Evan Morales
Yea you never ever ever get personal with coworkers unless youre like good buddies who hang out outside of work
Landon Edwards
because the female employee obviously has a dirty vagina
Chase Ross
are you fucking kidding?
look up the definition of sexual harassment you fucking retard
Kevin Torres
how the fuck is that sexual harassment? in what world are we living? I hope your story is not real. Even if op was a little bit retarded, this is not sexual harassment, that's incredibly retarded.
Ian Richardson
Fucking this.
Juan Smith
also
>my group >the group
They were having a fun convo and you decided to jump in like an autistic fucktard.
You'll be gone soon.
Carson Kelly
(((co workers))) are the enemy and will throw you under the bus as soon as they can
never fraternize with them unless your close mates and only then do it only in confidence
Ryan Davis

Also when I had an interview earlier this year the guy kept asking if I was confortable discussing porn or commenting on a female coworker's body and some other stupid shit
Anthony Wilson
>I would be completely bothered as well if some coworker stranger was having that discussion
in case you're not being sarcastic, I hope you get hit by the bus.
Tyler Scott
You didn't cross the line Op, some people have no sense of humour. As ex military, the example you just gave is tame. I don't know what's wrong with the world today, nothing you said was particularly offensive and even if it was, the adult way of dealing with it would be face to face; your apology should have been enough.
Isaac Hall
Become a MGTOW
Owen Watson
Imagine if your balls were bit off by a dog
now imagine 6 years later, you're at work and a woman at work says "HAHAHA I HOPE MY HUSBAND GETS HIS BALLS BIT OFF BY A DOG!"
You'd be offended even if it wasn't sexual harassment.
But since balls are sexual, it's considered a sexual offense.
Yes, the world is gay.
Niggers.
Liam Cooper
So I guess you could sue the interviewer for sexual harassment as well, since he brought up those subjects.
God, gotta love Murica

>chad employee >comments on girl coworkers breast, they giggle and call him silly >slaps girl on ass >again they giggle and say “be careful chad, that could get you in trouble hehe” >chad gets promoted
>be me >comment on girl coworkers appearance, saying that I really like her dress >she responds “are my looks all you see in me as a colleague?” >reported, have to spend 8 hours in sexual harassment training or be fired.
It’s not fair.
Justin Smith
liar
you probably said "you look sexy in that dress" and you're probably a creep.
Nicholas Watson
Sexual harassment isn't really the proper term but what you did was definitely unprofessional. Sexual topics, religion, and politics are things you just cannot talk about at work. It's not appropriate. What you did is way beyond inappropriate by those standards and anybody that disagrees with this hasn't worked a day in their life in a corporate setting.
There probably isn't much you can do at this point except wait to see if upper management wants to pursue it. Hopefully they don't and the girl just drops it but if not, you really don't have a leg to stand on especially if you signed some kind of work conduct agreement when you started there.
Samuel Myers
OP here. Not sure how many above are trolling and how many aren't. But just wanted to say ive worked with the girl for a while now, so feel like we can say that stuff, not like I just randomly said it in front of strangers, I wouldn't say something like that to people I don't know. But anyway, I didn't direct it at anyone, or mean anything personal, I simply just told them about the video. I just wanna know if it really deserved an official warning
Lucas Johnson
how is that similar? a dirty vagina can and SHOULD be washed unless you're a dirty pig. Your balls bitten off by a dog is an accident and joking about that would equivalent to making a joke about a car accident or an illness, but not about the bad smell of some part of the human body which is the result of your dirty habits.
Logan Lewis
Can you read? I didn't show them the video you fuck tard, I was just telling them about it since they were talking about prank videos.
And you even misquoted me. I didn't say "I get a bit dirty" I said they do, and their convos
Nolan Torres
> why can't burgers handle banter Roastie pls go
Justin Young
?
Jonathan Butler
>I just wanna know if it really deserved an official warning Yes, you did. Just because you've worked with someone for a while doesn't mean you can assume they're going to be comfortable with those topics of conversation. Just don't go there.
Carson Ward
To be 100% serious It's 2017. Would you have made a fat person joke? Or a black joke? Then you can't make a pussy joke, either. Fat people get offended over tiny baby shit, blacks do too, and what a surprise, so do women. Next time keep literally anything that could be considered PG-13 to yourself, or male friends you are confident don't give a fuck
Bentley Nguyen
I can smell your pussy from here.
Benjamin Hernandez
kek But seriously, people have been fired for less. It's just the way it is.
Thomas Price
Your story seems fake. If it's not you were pretty stupid and naive, even if you think it wasn't sexual harassment it's just stupid to make that kind of comments on a professional environment.
We all know that people get offended over stupid things, it's not that difficult understand where, when and with who is appropriate to say those kind of things.
It's common sense really, but I hope you learnt a little something about how human interactions work.
Bentley Peterson

Caleb Foster
>tfw wage slave at a place with no limits on the bants >never have to worry about stepping on someone's toes And best of all, no women.
Blake Thompson
I didn't "make a vagina joke". You're acting like I made the video. I know what you're saying, but I really don't feel like it shoulda got taken this far
Brayden Ward
low IQ poltard please go. I am keeping my job, he is one more mistake from losing his. BIZ is not your echo chamber full of social rejects like pol is.
Evan Brown
She clearly wants the D
Brody Howard
>sexual harassment Literally nowhere except Feminist cucked America: "Although laws surrounding sexual harassment exist, they generally do not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or minor isolated incidents—that is, they do not impose a "general civility code"." This is complete BS that you can only find in America. This is NOT sexual harassment, perhaps inappropriate. But not sexual harassment.
Samuel Jenkins
OP is low IQ
There is no saving him
Ryan Kelly
Nah. You're fine. Single incident, you apologized after she got offended and have changed your behavior. Not enough for them to term you over, but definitely a stupid topic to bring up at work.
Unfortunately, now, you've got to live on your tiptoes and dodge feminist hate lasers for the rest of your time at the company.
Nathaniel Fisher
i hope this story isnt real. One time i was at work and while the manager was talking to me about doing some shit i grabbed her tits.
i shouldnt have done it. but I was okish friends with her at that stage, plus she was a lesbian so she knew i wasnt trying to hit on her, she just laughed and told me not to do it again. after a few months though she got more pissed at me because i was getting arrogant and i ended up leaving after a few meetings ( i could tell they kinda wanted me to go and could see i was sick of working there anyway) the area manager liked me though and i still got all my sick leave pay + extra and a letter of reccomendation. Point is I could have been totally fucked over for something worse than what OP did but i never got in any trouble for it. I am from Ausfag by the way
Ian Flores
Yea it ha been been scientifically proven attractive people get away with sexual comments. You got bad genetics user. Better kys so everybody can become chad sooner.
Asher Edwards
in case someone hasn't said it already:
it has nothing todo with the "joke". they are trying to fire you and looking for an easy way out.
John King

Isaiah Young
m8, grabbing a shiela by the tits isn't sexual harrasment. it's a compliment. struth.
Camden Campbell
As a software engineer, one thing I've learned about women in software engineering >They aren't pretty >They are mad about it >They will make anything into a problem Even casual conversation turns into a hostile game of them trying to be offended. There's literally no working with them unless you are a giagantic cuck (luckily I don't work directly with any). Literally 50% of everything that comes out of their mouth is about how they're offended by something.
Ayden Flores
a woman can complain about anything as long as she pulls the sexual harassment card. i had a coworker report me for touching her because she was chatting in front of a cupboard and i needed to open it. there were two other witnesses. there was an inquiry and i there was no action taken but my boss decided he didbt want to promote me anyway. so i quit
Jason Green
she probably has a stinky vagina
Jeremiah Baker
I think you should take this useless shit off Veeky Forums
Hope this helps!
Robert Gray
Was it just a verbal warning from your boss? Not a big deal then. He was just trying to tell you that what you said is autistic so you won't do it again. If it was a written warning from HR, would be a bigger deal. Don't sweat it. Just don't be an autistic moron and say something like that again. Something like this hurts your reputation and people will gossip about it, but you can recover as long as you don't make dumb mistakes again like this. Don't consider it a punishment, it's just feedback. You need to learn how to talk to normies if you want to keep a real job
Lucas Torres
This - don't befriend normies.
Robert Martin
This seems like the best answer in the thread. t. autistic self employed salesman
Josiah Nguyen
>This is complete BS that you can only find in America. I'm pretty sure every single Nordic country is far worse than America with this kind of shit, at least from what I've heard. Not sure how much worse than "bad" it can get but I hear the feminists in Denmark are fucking militant.

Grayson Phillips
Chad employee here. The special treatment ends the second you stop pretending to be attracted to the women in question. If you question anything and reveal you are anything but dumb eye candy they will make it their job to rip you down regardless of how you look.
Aaron Campbell
i wonder how bad her pussy stinks
Levi Cook
Imagine not being as politically correct as possible in today's political climate. Dudes are getting their entire 30+ year careers destroyed by nothing more than allegations right now.

>Be me >medical assistant at a hospital (ass wiper) >Be 6'3" handsome white guy, all the other techs are tiny girls or awkward Manlets >basically say whatever I want, the nurses all just laugh and say "oh stop user teehee." >nurse was talking about something on Snapchat, I say "wow you still use snatchchat? You know it was only created for people to send dick and boob pics anonymously right?" >They all just laugh and one asks "so where's all your dick pics user?" Nobody bats an eye. >in the break room with a huge group and a girl is talking about her bachelorette party. I ask if she is going to have dick shaped cake and dick hats on as she goes bar hopping. "Omg shut up user, but yeah there will be a dick cake lol." >some awkward 20 year old tech says a nurse is thick, not to her directly but just having been overheard by someone gets reprimanded and transferred to a different floor within a week.
Once you realize women are awful, biased creatures the better off you are. They will turn into a gooey, dependent mess for a guy they think is good looking, but become a cannibalizing bitch hound to every other male.
Andrew Brooks
>joking
Leo Wilson
You should be using every opportunity to use your coworkers to your benefit and otherwise fuck over and destroy them. Giving them even the smallest amount of ammo like this is a bad idea. Beneath the thin facade of normalcy, every SINGLE person who succeeds is doing exactly this.
Tyler Carter
lots of work to call the OP ugly
Landon Mitchell
>pls watch my youtube video suscrube to my patreon guys :DDD very subtle shilling

Luke Davis
I have no idea why any sane business owner would hire a woman for anything other than maybe a secretary. They're poor workers and only cause problems for people like OP.
Alexander Jenkins
It's easy to call OP ugly, it's hard to explain why it's so important.
Gabriel Nguyen
Big if true
Connor Williams
>women have different standards depending on your level of attractiveness wow
Lincoln Johnson
wow you sick fuck. KYS
Gabriel Perry
Fuck, I really don't know whos the most autistic in here:
>OP, who did not realize that talking about pussy smell at work isn't exactly the best idea >The bitch that reported that as sexual harrasment (assuming OPs story is really the full truth) >The commenters suggesting all the "coworkers are the enemy", (((coworkers))), "never socialice" bullshit. Enjoy your deadend, no promotions ever lowlevel job and your lonely death
Angel Gonzalez
you're going to jail
Brody Sullivan
OP must be ugly as fuck! Are you a manlet, op?
But seriously anyone who watches or converses about YT prank videos must be dumb af. I would not have participated in that conversation for that reason. YouTube is rotting the minds of our youth far worse than television ever did.
Caleb Murphy
what do you do?
Cameron Carter
I'm a PhD student at a liberal university, working on things like intergenerational justice (I'm a physicist though), especially connected to climate change. So I'm right in the heart of SJW-central. And I make jokes about SJWs all the time, you just have to know *how* to do it.

>Tell me your secrets Easy. Be a normie. Be friendly. Be likeable. Don't sperg out over useless crap. It's paid well, and they need someone to explain all those scary big numbers. Plus: More girls than in physics.
