How you know you're working in a female-dominated workplace, Volume 3

I went over to the kitchen area in our building to heat up my lunch. As I walked in there, 3 women were having a conversation. I was actually standing in between them as they talked from opposite ends of the room. The conversation went something like this:


Woman #1: Where are you going?

Woman #2: Yeah, where are you headed?

Woman #3: I'm heading down to drop this off with Bill.

Woman #1: Who's Bill? Is he that one guy that you were kissing on?

Woman #2: And you were rubbing up against his leg, weren't you?

Woman #3: Yeah, that's the one.

Woman #1: So what does that make you?

Woman #3: A slut.

Woman #1: **laughing** Yeah, that's right.

Woman #2: **laughing** She's probably going to do something 'bad' to him.

Woman #1: Look at this poor guy heating up his lunch. He's probably wishing he didn't even bother with lunch right about now.

Me: **chuckle** Something like that.

Woman #1 and #2: **laughing**


So, in closing, sexual harassment is OK at work as long as you're of the same sex of the person you are harassing.
