Easily embarrassed, not easily offended...

I consider myself just as the title states.  I get embarrassed VERY easily...yet still let my mouth get me into embarrassing situations all.the.time.  Eh, I love the attention.  However, I don't get offended by much.  Unless you're just out-right mean & vile to me - I let a lot of stuff go.  I realize we're all different people, with different personalities & different opinions and we all have the right to be that way.

Something happened to me at work Friday that OFFENDED me.  Like seriously offended me & pissed me off.  And it was one of those situations where you know what's happening is not cool..but you just kinda go on auto-pilot & then once you sit down & reflect on it - you get even more upset.

The place I work for is a family owned business.  We're obviously in a small community so most our customers are 'frequent fliers' who are hanging out here all the time.  There's an old guy who comes in & is just kinda rude, ya know?  Like he's kinda joking, but he's kinda rude about it.  He'll come in & tell me to "get to work' & stupid stuff like that.   He served in one of the wars & always wants to tell you stories about all the dead people he saw...then he starts crying.  AWKWARD.

Let me back up.  Like I said - my mouth gets me in trouble a LOT.  I am friendly/flirty with the guys I work with.  We all tease each other & have fun.  Completely innocent.  I've worked with these people for 10+ years...we know each other.  For example - one of the guys was asking me the other day about the spelling of my name & where it came from, blah, blah, blah.  He asked if I knew there was another pronunciation for it & another guy standing there said, "Yea - biotch."  I almost fell on the floor laughing.  That was hilarious - Not offensive.  

So the old, rude, crying war story guy came in yesterday to pay a bill.  Billy (one of the owners I share an office with) told me he was coming in to pay his bill & walked back out.  Then, Billy came back & said, "James - if he says I said anything about your boobs - he's lying."  I giggled & said, "Ok...uhm...great!"  Not offended... just thought it was one of those friendly/flirty things.  So the old man comes in & says, "I told Billy I wanted the girl with the biggest jugs (hate that word) here to wait on me."  OK-so now what Billy said made sense... I kind of laughed it off & said, "Well, uhm, er- I guess that's me." 

 I mean - what do you SAY to that?

He paid his bill...I went to get him change & he sat down in my chair.  When I came back - he sat for 15 minutes telling me stories... crying (still awkward)... etc.  I picked up my cell phone to text Billy to 'get his ASS in here & save me' & he walked in the door.   I gave him a look of  "I'm gonna kill you." & Billy told him (in a joking way) to 'leave her alone & get outta here - she has work to do'.  UHM the guy didn't make a move & then Billy walked out of our office.  Thanks for THAT....

 For the 40 minutes total he was in MY chair, my office was passed 5 times by other OWNERS.  They said nothing.  They did nothing.  They didn't say, "Hey man - she needs to get busy. haha."  It was seriously annoying.  They know who he is & it boils down to the fact that they didn't want to mess with him.  

Nice, right?

I was trying to be polite...but he's wasn't making that very easy.  Among all the other stupid stories he told me he was telling me about his favorite girl up at the town hall.  He said, "She's the one that's kind of heavy set & has a nice set of lungs on her."  (I wanted to punch him...) THEN he says to me, "All women are good for is to be looked at & to have sex with."  

OH NO HE DIDN'T.  I took MAJOR offense to that.  Customer or not.  I told him, "That was a RUDE & SEXIST thing to say."  He looked at me like I had 2 heads.  

Guess what, old man - you're a dick.

The final straw for me (yea - he stayed in my chair even after that) was when he asked me if I knew 'what made the world go 'round?'  Of course, I said 'no'.  He said, "A man's wing a ding & a woman's thing - that's what makes the world go 'round."  OH MY GAWD. 

 That's when I told him, "it's time for you to go."

It's weird when I'm in situations like that because I don't think quick on my feet.  I'm kind of in a daze & don't know what to say.  I tried to pass it off like, "Ok - he's an old man.  He's an innocent old man.  I need to respect my elders..."  But NO, him being old gives him NO right to say that TO me or ABOUT me as a woman.  The more I thought about it last night, the more pissed I became.  

I'm mad because I didn't tell him to go f*** himself.  I'm mad because none of the MEN that I work with even attempted to save me.  I'm mad because even though Billy knows now (his girlfriend works with me & she told him what happened) he will NEVER say anything to the old man.  

 Billy did tell me he was sorry this morning. (that's pretty big because most the time they say nothing.)  But it doesn't change the fact that it happened & that DICK will keep saying things like that to other women. 

Sigh.  Wow - that feels good to get that off my chest (no pun intended...).  

So, what do YOU think?  Offensive or no?  Innocent old man or no?  

Tell him to f*** himself next time he comes in or no?!
