I was harassed at work today. It came as quite a shock because well, I wasn't expecting it. At least not at the video store where I work. A video store. And we're in a good, well-established and classy neighbourhood too.
It came in the form of a phone call. I was helping a male customer on the phone with some price checks, being professional the whole time and then at the end of the call, he asks, "Are you hot?".
I hung up on him.
At the last two places I worked at, get harassed by male customers was bound to happen, I suppose. It was a surprise today though. I got pissy infront of customers and my boss. No one minded though because my anger was justified.
But seriously, guys who harass women or even other men need to get a life. Harassment shows no respect and insensitivity towards those people. People, no matter who they are, need to be treated like people instead of objects that can be toyed around or played with.
