You Are Being Unreasonable - 050 - In which we shank people who write us into their fiction

Episode Date: August 1, 2019

"The second best revenge is lesbian erotica..." We're celebrating 50 episodes (sort of) with a surprisingly sweary and bawdy episode. We ask if you should ever give the police an alibi for your partn...er and what crimes you would not accept from them: shankings? refusing to pay VAT? murders? What should you do with a horrible young sexual harrassing man at work who keeps mentioning his large and serious penis? What if it were a witch sexually harrassing you instead of a young man? What if it were a sad clown? Should you reference your husband's role in your own CV and why would you want to do that? And what would you do if an old companion wrote you into their self-published lesbian erotica?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, driving on drugs feels better when they're prescription. All I know, the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful. Hello. Hello, welcome to your being unreasonable, the podcast about people being unreasonable on mumsnet.com. Not any old you are being unreasonable. The 50th episode. The Big Five-O?
Starting point is 00:00:36 If you include the live show and don't include the best of episode we released last week, a small episode added to advertise the live show, and episode one, which is lost to the midst of time. Oh. I've never been in charge of a canon before,
Starting point is 00:00:50 so I decided to make the canon for you are being unreasonable as complex as of Star Wars under Disney. Okay. I didn't think the live show was originally part of the canon, so I feel like you're pulling a bit of a J.K. Rangling on us there. It has to be, because episode one is lost. Oh, okay. I understand now. Right. Otherwise, there's not 50 episodes.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Okay. Shall we count towards the numbering? Shall we do the speed round? Happy 50, yeah. I'm Simon. I'm Hells. You would think after 50 episodes we would have learnt how to do this. Oh my. Am I being around?
Starting point is 00:01:29 Unreasonable, to think I should be allowed to access my road 24-7? No, it's your road. Am I being unreasonable? Corned beef hash controversy. Ooh, Pond beefash is controversial. Makes me hiccup. Am I being unreasonable? Does this count as having sex?
Starting point is 00:01:46 This seems like a dangerous road to go down. Not going to comment on that. I am going to suggest that posting on Mumsnet probably doesn't count as having sex, though, if that's what they're referring to. That, no. Am I being unreasonable? call me Robert. Okay, Robert.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Let's do a full thread, shall we? Am I being unreasonable? Lesbian e-book character is obviously me. What would you do? Last week, while lazily browsing the internet, I decided to look up an old university classmate who works in publishing. I noticed she's written quite a few short stories,
Starting point is 00:02:18 and they're available as e-books. Scrolling through the titles, one dated 2012, so two years after we last had contact, caught my eye. The plot seemed eerily for the story. familiar, so I downloaded it. For God's sake, she's written about our friendship as 18-year-olds, including very specific details about appearance, family facts, habits, but then it turns into a lesbian fantasy
Starting point is 00:02:42 of fondling, fingering, and oral sex, my character, on hers. None of which actually happened, nor did I ever want it to happen. I'm a happily married heterosexual with no lesbian experience. To me, at the time, she was just a lost and slightly creepy friend slash classmate, who I once told, very clearly after a timid advance, I was not interested in anything more than companionship. After a day or so of feeling alternately flattered to have been transformed onto the printed page and furious at the misrepresentation, I now don't know what to do. I don't want to show it to anybody close, especially not DH, as it does expose some of my 18-year-old self-doubt and spikiness quite
Starting point is 00:03:27 accurately. She is a writer after all. I also think it would be best to let bygones be bygones. We have no contact and have gotten our own way in life. However, it does seem a huge violation to have been literally transported into a scene that I have never
Starting point is 00:03:43 been interested in. Part of me wants to kick back. What would you do? The old lesbian fantasy trifecta. Well, fondling, fingering oral sex. Fundling fingering oral sex. That is how they teach it. That's those lessons that people have been protesting about.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I understand that's what they're going to be. It's going to be an hour each week where someone just sings the lesbian sex song. This is the gay agenda. Point one, fondling. Point two, fingering. Point three, all sex. Point four, self-published lesbian erotica.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Point five, profit. Fondling, fingering, all sex. Funling, fingering, all sex. I don't know why this woman's so hit up about it. And she's making out this friend as being. super creepy. Then she goes on to say that they're not even friends. And then she does admit that she hasn't seen this woman in 10 years, but she went looking through everything that she's published, which makes her come across a list a lot. Yeah, maybe she does want fondling,
Starting point is 00:04:40 fingering out of all sex. I mean, the fact that she describes herself as a happily married heterosexual with no lesbian experience. She's not applying for the role of lesbian. Do you have any lesbian experience? To me, at the time, she was just a lost and slightly creepy friend. Yeah, it sounds like this woman's a flat-out homophobe really A little bit If you think that someone's lost Because they're a lesbian No
Starting point is 00:05:05 Maybe the character's based on you Maybe it isn't But it's not you This doesn't make you a lesbian And here's a thought If this woman is, as I suspect, a bit of a homophobe Who says that after a timid advance Told her very clearly
Starting point is 00:05:23 That she wasn't interested In anything more than companionship Companionship Like Doctor Who That sounds like When we're 80 and our partners have died We can go on a cruise together But until then, keep your mitts off
Starting point is 00:05:35 You may accompany me on my adventures Across Time and Space But not sexually But I wonder Like apparently they weren't even friends now Now she's saying that it's just a creepy classmate Just companions Do you think this woman's just written this book
Starting point is 00:05:51 To spite her Like she's written a whole series of lesbian erotic About various homophobes going down on her If so, that's great. That would be the best revenge that life well lived, but the second best revenge is lesbian erotica, in which all your enemies have to perform sex acts that they wouldn't be pleased with.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And then you self-publish it, and then you mention it, and then you never mention it again, and you hope they go looking for it for some reason. Yeah. That's going in my arsenal of ways to get back at people. I'm going to be writing some pretty crappy erotica. about everyone he's ever wronged me so watch out world i'm self-publishing watch out dude on
Starting point is 00:06:34 Twitter former line manager hells is coming for you woman who called me unpalatable oh we'll see who's unpalatable sex it's quite an unpalatable take really isn't it maybe she was right about me all along You were written into a book that time. You remember when Zadie Smith wrote that book about you? That wasn't about me. It was just eerily close to me, as the O.P. says, eerily close to me. I think the best revenge for this person is to write her own short stories about this short story writer.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Write a reply pamphlet. What she should do? That's what Alexander Hamilton would have done. I love it. She should write a reply. story in which a happily married heterosexual reads some self-published lesbian erotica and then puts it down and goes about her happily married heterosexual business thank you very much yeah and then that will clearly put the message across that she has a happily married heterosexual it doesn't
Starting point is 00:07:43 sound like she's going to put any steamy scenes in no this is not erotica she does not want this woman to get any jollies from this book it will all be happily married heterosexual business very chased. They will go to be in Q. They'll have a roast. Just normal, happily married, heterosexuals. And then at the end, she posts about it on mum's net. Should we hear from the thread? What would I do? Absolutely nothing. I doubt it's going to win any major literary awards any time soon, so I'd ignore it and I'd pretend I'd never seen it. It's not like you're in contact with her anyway. This self-published lesbian erotica is not going to win any major literary awards. Well, unless this woman's massively playing down how good it is, because she's
Starting point is 00:08:24 That's how 50 Shades of Grey started though, right? It was Twilight fanfic. Yeah, it was. So, if this was the next 50 Shades of Grey... Could you imagine if someone wrote some fanfic about you and it turned into the next 50 Shades of Grey? That's what I was going to ask. If someone had written erotic fan fiction about you, would you want to know or not? Not.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Not. What if someone had written you into a novel? Nope, don't want to know. Flowering portrayal? No, I think, unless someone tells you something... Nothing to your face, it's not your business. Just being lazy. Nothing good will come of knowing what people are saying behind your back. I think I'd be pretty flattered.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It would be nice to have that impact on a person. Yeah, you want to be in their self-published erotica? Yeah, even if it is erotica, sure. Okay. I take it as a compliment. Someone has asked if it's presented as a work of fiction or a memoir, a novel or an autobiography. Imagine self-publishing your own autobiography.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Exactly. That's a baller move That's what I'm going to do To try and drum up publicity For various shows that I'm working on And this podcast, in fact I'm going to self-publish an autobiography Of Lesbian Erotica
Starting point is 00:09:38 Featuring All My Enemies In very compromising positions This doesn't sound like an autobiography No, it very much sounds like it's just one of those rubbish books that you'd have to really go digging around the Kindle store for because you were looking up someone that you knew ten years ago who you don't like if you know this much I shouldn't leave it how is imagine going back to this woman and being like I can't believe you wrote this creepy book about me the woman's
Starting point is 00:10:09 going to have moved on she'll be like how did you find this yeah she'll say it's not about you and then she'll be like why were you rootling around the internet looking for self-published lesbian erotica from seven years ago yeah so you could then contact me and say that you didn't prove of it. Why have you gone so far down this rabbit hole? Yeah, you're so vain, you probably think this self-published lesbian erotica is about you, don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Let's move on. Oh, we have fun. Am I being unreasonable to ask if you would ever give the police a false alibi for your partner? Me and D.H. randomly got onto this today and he asked if I ever would. I said no, regardless of what the crime was. He said,
Starting point is 00:10:54 said he would for me, but not for murder. Wonder what the general consensus of Mumsnet was. Yep. No hesitation. Nice. What about for murder, though? Maybe not for murder. Have you told me it's for murder? I don't know. I feel like, if you're asking someone to give you a false alibi, you need to say what the reason is.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I'm imagining you've burst through the door, no explanation to Simon. You need to tell them I was at being cue. You need to tell them that was I being a cue. Then 10 seconds later, there's a knock at the door and it's the cop. and say, do you know where her wife was tonight? And I say, at B&Q, if you come in and say, if you're covered in blood, and you come in and say, you need to tell them I was at B&Q, I'd say, whose blood is that? Okay. But what if I'd done a lot of stabbing, but no one died?
Starting point is 00:11:42 A lot of stabbing, but no one's died. Yeah. I've shanked up a load of people, but just like in the upper arm, and they've bled on me a bit, and then I'd come running in and said I was at B&Q. So being cute No one's died But a lot of people have got bloody upper arms Spurting out Like in a bad TV show
Starting point is 00:12:00 It sounds like the police might have caused to search No for some reason They only want the alibi Okay And you're just in the bathroom Cleaning yourself up Just having a shower Okay
Starting point is 00:12:11 But you've told me you just did the shanking Yeah Because I needed you to know It wasn't a murder So I told you Oh I was so on your side I was ready to give you an alibi
Starting point is 00:12:21 but I don't, why did you give them a shanking? They were wrong, and they wrote lesbian erotica about me? That's not, this is almost a hate crime. Would you give me an alibi if I did a hate crime? No. Good. The correct answer. Right, drew that out.
Starting point is 00:12:44 No, there's certain crimes that I would, most crimes, most crimes, I would give you an alibi for. Like, crimes against property and stuff. Yeah, who cares? Yeah, absolutely. Like, if you came home and you were like, oh, I've done a crime against property, will you give me an alibi? I'll be like, hell yes, I'm so proud of you.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'll make you whatever you want for dinner, and then I'll give you an alibi. Alibi sounds like a euphemism. I mean an alibi. I hear you. This has got very bawdy. A bawdy 50th episode. From 50 onwards, this is a bawdy podcast.
Starting point is 00:13:16 It's not a bawdy podcast. Our parents listen. Hopefully our baby niece listens one day. Yeah, that's different, though, because either she understands it's too late for her now at five months, or she doesn't understand, so no harm done. Yeah. So are you saying violent crimes where you draw the line? I think so.
Starting point is 00:13:34 What if I punched a man in the face, because you told me to smile? No, that'll be fine. Okay. What if I shanked a man in the upper arm, because he... Yeah, no. Shanking's bad. Okay. It's good to know what the line is.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I think I would give you an alibi under a similar set of caveat. What I've done, uh, tax evasion. Ooh. Is tax evasion the legal one or is that tax avoidance? I don't know, but I assume you mean the illegal one. I do. How would an alibi work for tax? He couldn't have been evading these taxes.
Starting point is 00:14:06 He was with me at being Q. Buying lots of things with VAT on them and paying it willingly. That's, how would you unwillingly pay the AT? I don't know. It's like, because it's included here. It's not like America. Fine. We were at Costco, and it's not included on the price.
Starting point is 00:14:26 No, but even then you have to pay it. You really do. To make a big deal out of it. No, I don't have to pay VAT. To make a big deal turning out. Turning up, being proper man of the people. I would like to pay the VAT on this as well. Person at the checkout's like, yeah-huh.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Just so you know, I'm happy to pay the VAT on this. I'm only buying this so that I can pay VAT. That's how much I care about our future. I would love to pay the VAT for this self-published lesbian erotica. Thank you. I think the character that we're talking about is happy to pay the tax on champagne at this point, aren't they? Embezzlement. I've done some embezzlement. Again, these ones where I don't think it's a case of where you are at a fixed time.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Is it that I'm having to back you up on saying that the money was just resting in your account? Just resting in my account. That's a shame about Father Ted. We'll never know who wrote it. No, it's a mystery. Just never know who wrote Father Ted. Yeah, you're thinking of a lot of crimes where I don't know how you'd give an alibi. Yeah. At least with my shanking example, that happened at a fixed moment in time.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I think the O.P, to get us somewhat back on track, is unreasonable. To say no to all crimes is unreasonable. What if you stole a loaf of bread to feed your starving sister? And then you're pursued for 18 years by an unreasonable robotic. member of the police in Paris. Someone else here has said, never say never, it depends on context. But they've said, if he went all Liam Neeson, and I'm, oh, no, but they mean Liam Neeson in Taken, not Liam Neeson when he went out looking for someone because he
Starting point is 00:16:04 wanted to do an actual hate crime. Less of that. Liam Neeson in Taken, fine. Okay. Liam Neyson, the hate crime, no. I haven't seen Taken, but I think he does more than shank people. Oh, no. Okay, so never Liam Neeson.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Liam Mason in Star Wars episode one. Okay. Where he cheats, a stereotype of a Jewish man to save a slave. Okay. Good. Last one from the thread.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Nope, not unless it was something regarding a baby. What, so if they'd done a crime to a baby, you'd give an alibi, because that's what you've implied somehow. Not sure that. Let's move on. Am I being unreasonable
Starting point is 00:16:42 to use D.H.'s role in my job app? I was reading some of the hilarious job application, in one of the other posts earlier and want to ask, if I reference MyDH's political role in an application I'm putting in as background to how our family have always supported a particular viewpoint, is it inappropriate and or irrelevant, or am I being unreasonable? This question from Sherry Blair.
Starting point is 00:17:08 What the hell is this person thinking? I'm sorry, but if you're a Sherry Blair, you'd be keeping your husband's job very quiet, But unless it's about evidence that you've always supported illegal wars. No, this is like Angela from the office, always talking about the senator. Imagine receiving that application. Like, you're on the shortlisting panel, you're reading through the applications. And people are saying, oh, I've done this and this.
Starting point is 00:17:35 And that's always, you know, being part of my way of living. And it's evidence that I support this viewpoint that apparently is important for the application. And then someone rocks up, like, well, actually, my husband does this. this so obviously. What are you on about? What are you on about? Oh and it says here on your CV that your husband is a local counsellor for the Tories. Why did you put this on here? Yeah. What do you want me to do with this? Is he available for the job? It doesn't make any sense, does it? Yeah. Look, you're not defined by your husband or your husband's role. Even if your husband does have that political viewpoint, that doesn't mean that you do.
Starting point is 00:18:12 I also suspect, and maybe I'm being cynical here. Was it not put you potentially a bit of a disadvantage because of people's implicit biases if you mention your husband and your family in your job application as opposed to your own achievements, won't they think there's a possibility that you might not be entirely committed to the job and you're more likely to prioritise your husband and family? I'm not getting into the rights and wrongs of that, but I do think that... It's probably not worth mentioning because like marital status is a protected characteristic. Yeah. So it didn't... It seems like it could only cause difficulty for the employer.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah. Now, how is this relevant? I don't know. People on the thread are really not understanding what's happening either. How is this relevant to the job application? Does the job spec require you to hold certain viewpoints? Even then it would require you to, not your husband to. My husband's written quite a bit of lesbian erotica.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Which is why I think I would be the best person for the role of Chief Executive of Stonewall. Okay. Thank you My husband's an ally Are you an ally? It doesn't sound like he's an ally Why is he moving so much lesbian erotica? He just really admires those girls
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay, it sounds like fetishisation Someone else has said I think it'd be really inappropriate to do this Inaproops There's a lot of people saying What job is this where they're asking about your viewpoints But whenever I go for jobs you have to sort of say
Starting point is 00:19:46 that you have the right viewpoints for what the charity does so I can see that maybe it's a charity type job I just feel really sorry for the people filtering through CVs if this is the sort of stuff that people do as a matter of course I should have think what some people put on CVs like I've seen
Starting point is 00:20:02 CVs with some completely irrelevant stuff on them but I've never seen CVs from people's husbands' opinions on them because that's not a section is it it's not like personal interests work history references his husband's opinions. They used to put hobbies on my CV.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Hobbies? What a child. Isn't that something... What a bare-faced child. They advise you to do that at school though. Yeah, they do. They tell you to put hobbies on. That's because you've got no work experience
Starting point is 00:20:28 and no education achievement. They don't explain when to take hobbies off. It's just to pad it out into a A4 Microsoft Word document. But it is perfectly reasonable to have a line that says personal interests, but you do need to make sure they're personal interests that you can tie back to the job somehow. You can't just put hobbies like... I have seen CVs where it's like, you know, a marketing job
Starting point is 00:20:49 and people have put their hobbies on there for no reason. They're like, I really enjoy baking. It's like, okay, good. It's nice that you have a hobby. Yeah, great. I don't know why you've shared this information, but it's not going to disadvantage you. But if it's like hobbies, blindly following my husband's viewpoints,
Starting point is 00:21:06 that might make me think I'm not sure about this person. Can you give an example of committing to a role? Yeah, I've done 50 episodes. of a so-so company podcast with my wife. If you include the live show and don't include episode one. Can you give us an example of committing to a role? Well, I'm very committed to my husband and he has a job role. No!
Starting point is 00:21:29 Someone said it looks like your name-dropping, which is super weird, especially since I'm imagining this person's husband is a local counsellor. Yeah. I'm imagining a very low-level political role. Yeah. Not like the head of MI6. Which I'm sure you're not allowed to go around blabbing about. Yeah, probably not allowed to put that on a CV.
Starting point is 00:21:48 No. Shall we move on? I'm very committed to my husband, as he's told me that he would provide an alibi to the police. Let's do one more thread, shall we? Am I being unreasonable to tell young male work colleague to stop with the sexual innuendos as they're making me uncomfortable? I don't know how best to handle this situation. Small office, no HR based on site, and line manager is a bit whank in all honesty.
Starting point is 00:22:13 he's 20 and he has an awful professional manner fuck him he shouldn't be in a professional environment if he can't behave accordingly few examples he mentions his large penis several times in a serious way shut the door on the small storage room i was blocked in uh sorry shut the door on the small storage room i was in and blocked my exit saying you're mine I actually panicked and felt fucking terrified for a split second I was mumbling to myself about something that had gone wrong when he asked me what it was and I said oh nothing I'm just moaning
Starting point is 00:22:54 his response was oh you're moaning well don't let me stop you followed with actual sex noises and well it's making me so fucking uncomfortable I have to refrain from throwing the printer in his fucking face every time I see the creep It's hard to explain, but the lingering smirks and looks are just fucking odd. He stands in my personal space at every opportunity. It's so peeves get a bit of a potty mouth. Very much so.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I thought about not using all of the swears. Yeah. Yeah, so many that it actually gets in the way of trying to follow what's going on. But when you get to the root of what's going on... Yeah, it's not a good situation. This is a bad situation to be. He keeps mentioning his large penis in a serious way. She's put large in quotes, but then she says it in a serious way, and then a confused face.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Like, is he like, oh, I'm going to have to go early this afternoon and I'm going to the doctors about my large penis? I don't understand what the serious way is. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm best to handle the Miller account because of my large penis. Like, I don't understand. And then at the end, she's like, oh, it's hard to explain. It's not hard to explain. You've given three very clear examples of things that are bad about. this, don't doubt yourself. It's not hard to explain.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Yeah. No, this does sound like bordering and sexual harassment. Absolutely. And that's not good. Not in this Me Too era. In this day and age, no. I don't think that them being a young male colleague is particularly relevant. I think if any colleague did any of this stuff, you're well within your rights to make a complaint about it. They say they're a young male colleague. Like, if they were mentioning the colleague was young and male, because the colleague's real problem was just that they were
Starting point is 00:24:39 a bit arrogant. You could be like, oh, they'll grow out of it, fine. But the colleague's real problem is they blocked her in a cupboard and said, you're mine. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, that would be bad even if it wasn't a young man.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Young men are the worst. The worst. Yeah. But this would be bad. This is bad behaviour. If that was an old woman doing that to her, that's still very wrong. You're mine.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Like a witch. Not one old women are witches. All right. But yeah, if it was an act. actual witch, that would be very troubling. Oh yeah. If you've got a witch at work... And they've blocked you in the cupboard. That's bad. It's worse if they're doing sexual innuendo.
Starting point is 00:25:19 This horny old witch. The witch is very seriously telling you about her large penis. But being a witch, it turns out that it's in a vial and she's about to use it for a spell. Here's my large penis. It's not appropriate in the workplace. Or anywhere, really. Don't carry a severed penis around in a vial. You go to the printer and you find the witch. has been writing lesbian and erotica, with you in it.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm printing it at work. Why did they print it? It's nice to have something to read on the bus. Can they not just get it on a Kindle? Like all the other self-published erotica. They're a witch. Why would a witch not have a Kindle? What sort of life is this witch living where they don't have a Kindle,
Starting point is 00:26:00 but they do have a jar full of penis? Priorities. A Kindle is more versatile. Well, yeah, but not for spells. There's no spells that involve Kindles. Let's just go back through all the bits and I'm going to take out the swearing because it's not adding anything and it is making the post difficult to follow.
Starting point is 00:26:18 He shouldn't be in a professional environment if he can't behave accordingly. A few examples. He mentions his large penis several times. In a serious way. In a serious way. Not in a silly way. Large penis.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Large penis, large penis, large penis. Oh, he's so silly. He's there juggling most batons that you see at the circus He's saying these are the same size as my penis He's doing balloon animals, but very suggestively As to suggest a large penis If someone came into the office and started making balloon penises I think that would just perk up the day really
Starting point is 00:26:58 Because work is, you know It's fine, but that's a lot of hours to be focusing on work Why not break it up with balloon animals? I don't understand why I didn't get the job I put my husband's role as a balloon penis artist in my CV to show our political viewpoint. What political viewpoint would that be? You're open about sexual balloon art.
Starting point is 00:27:19 You know, I actually know someone who describes themselves as a sex clown because they're both a clown and a sex educator. At once? I don't know. Does the clowning... Is the clowning used for the sex education? I think some of the clowning has elements of sex education in it. I don't know about...
Starting point is 00:27:36 I think if you hire a clown, you'll get her doing clowning and sex ed. If you hire a sex educator, I don't know how much clowning you'll get. Is this an additional clown to the types of clown from modern family? No, I imagine that she follows a regular type of clown, but has incorporated, I don't know. Sad sex clown. A hobo sex clown. Yeah, shutting the door, blocking the person in, clearly bad. I was mumbling to myself about something that had gone wrong, and when he asked, I said, oh nothing I'm just moaning his response was oh you're moaning well don't let me stop you
Starting point is 00:28:11 followed with actual sex noises he sounds like a character from a 90s sitcom yeah and that kind of thing was not acceptable it was acceptable in the 90s not acceptable but it would have been on TV as funny or jay from the in betweeners which ran in like 2010 yeah maybe not even the 90s yeah he sounds like a fast show character I think he's is what I'm saying. Yeah, he does. Like an annoying, weedy man with sort of bum plough
Starting point is 00:28:41 and acne. Let's hear from the thread. Good grief, what I jumped up little shit. Only 20, and he somehow got the nerve to be sexually predatory in the workplace. I think that might be because he's 20, not despite him being 20.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Because he's 20. You need to be put into the not-on-site HR. You know what I've just remembered? When I worked at Greengraces, when I was like 16, 17 there was a lad who worked there who was the school year above me so he would have been 17 or 18 and he once blocked me in the fridge to make some sexual innuendo at me like one of those big walk-in fridges that you get at greengrocers and he was like standing in the way of the fridge door to tell me all about you know the terrible sexual innuendo that he thought was appropriate
Starting point is 00:29:25 and I'm pretty sure that I just shoved him out of the way maybe she could just shove this person out of the way but I guess it's different if you're a teenager yeah if she's a grown-up Teenager on teenager is one thing to just be like I'm get in the fridge clear off And someone said I can put my finger on it He's a creep
Starting point is 00:29:43 He's a creep He's a weirdo I think she needs to say something I really think she needs to say something I don't think saying oh he's young And he hasn't worked out How Workplaces work yet Is gonna do anyone any favours
Starting point is 00:29:58 He needs to learn This is how workplace is work Don't shut people in the cupboard Don't sexually harass them Yeah Or I go to HR Yeah And you have to leave
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah So you should just sit him down She should tell him very sweetly How things actually work And then she should dismiss him And then she'll feel victorious And he'll feel small And everyone wins
