She Seemed Unstable
A former co-worker spoke to me in innuendos, made inappropriate remarks toward me constantly, tried to touch and hug me whenever she could, and hit me when I told her the ring that I was looking at online wasn’t for her but for my girlfriend who I intended to marry. It was very troubling for me. I’d just started there.
I didn’t want to start a fuss and I needed the job. I never gave any implication that I was interested in her. When she’d bluntly asked me out, I said no—but I took it even further just to be safe. I brought it up with HR because she seemed unstable. I was worried that if I confronted her, she’d lie and have me fired. It’s easier to believe a woman in this case.
When I talked to HR, they took it seriously and reassured me that she would leave the company soon, which she did. Story credit: Reddit / Grindelbart
