Him: This ‘sexual harassment’ stuff is frickin’ ridiculous. What, now I can’t even tell a woman she is pretty without getting in trouble for it?
Me: Well, we’ve worked together for 2 years and you’ve never told me I’m pretty.
Him: That’s different because you’re a dude, like me.
Me: Gotta tell ya, that’s a little disappointing because I think you’re pretty.
Him: Stop that, bro. You’re creeping me out.
Me: Soooo me telling you that you’re pretty when you neither asked for nor welcomed comments about your appearance is making you feel uncomfortable. Interesting.
