Was my colleagues comment about my lunch weird?

Male colleague who I’ve not spoken to much (I only joined this team a month ago).

He overheard me and another colleague discussing what we had for lunch - I said curry as that was the main meal in the restaurant today.

He said he bets my boyfriend won’t thank me as there will be some movement in the sheets tonight (referring to wind..)

My BF thinks he was only joking and I’m being uptight. I find it creepy though…

I've worked in sectors where jokes like that were common, all very male dominated. Women often don't like fart jokes in my experience, whereas a lot of men do.

I wouldn't think much of it but it may well be that it wasn't well judged for your workplace.

Not very classy…
If it’s a one off, just ignore.

He's probably joking and just trying to fit in and make friends

I'd say it was a huge overstep and being over familiar, but I don't find it creepy.

I think you’re being a bit over sensitive

Bloke humour. Not funny. Best ignored.
