RANDOM RANT: Workplace Baddie-The Touchy Feely Guy
OK y’all, The Eccentric Diva has a slight problem. There is a fellow in my office that is too “affectionate”. We used to have offices right next to each other and he would to come into my domain to chat and offer me sweets DAMN NEAR all day! Since our job has relocated to a new facility, his office is clear on the other side of the room and believe me, our floor is rather large. When we first moved, he would come over to my office, throw his arms around my neck every day and whimper “I miss you”. Since that has gotten old, he now comes to my office, touches my shoulder and walks away. Don’t get me wrong, the Eccentric Diva is a highly affectionate person, but only with people that I know and would welcome my touches and vice versa. Every time this man comes near me I cringe with anticipation of another “touch”. One day he was even bold enough to kiss my cheek! I actually like this guy, he’s a rather nice fellow but I don’t want him touching me all damn day. I assume he may be a bit lonely because he’s divorced but that ain’t my problem. Not to mention he’s a bit of a “loose cannon”, the day he comes into the office wearing a trench coat and carrying a duffel bag, I’m running the hell out of here. I hate to see the guy get fired for sexual harassment because he’s never been overtly “sexual” but I want it to stop. How would you handle it?
