AIBU to be utterly gobsmacked by this?

[PurplePidjin]

Client in office talking to boss. I was boiling the kettle anyway so do the usual tea or coffee routine.

"Do you take milk?"

"Yes, I like it white like my women"

Seriously, what the actual fuck?!

OMG! Haha!

i hope you poured his down the sink?

YANBU [bshock]

Nooo! you should of said "With an attitude like that, you'd be lucky to get a woman of any colour you Cock" (although i know at work so you couldn't have).

What a tool.

It's not the best chat-up line is it :)

Did you spit in his tea? :o

I was tempted to pour it in his lap but, at work, one can't. DP suggested I should have pissed in it (if it's relevant I'm white, DP is black and we both get on well with my colleagues)

I'm still that someone would actually say that to a virtual stranger. I'm normally the first to challenge that kind of shit so a bit and too

YANBU What a charmer!

Have you not seen Airplane?

Was this definately not taken out of context?

I am from Liverpool and there are a lot of jokes about orange women and Scouse brows.

If not then your boss should have said something, usually every company has a statement on expected behaviour around diversity that includes visitors.

How old is he?

Just wondering if he was making a joke like the one in the 70s film 'Airplane' when some women is asked how she likes her coffee and she says 'Black, like my men'.

lol its a quote from a film

Xpost with peoplesprincess

I once heard a guy at a party say "I like my whiskey like i like my girlfriends, 12 years old and mixed up with coke"

YANBU... but I've heard many a women (about 5) reply to the same question... "strong, sweet and black like my men"

And no one's felt annoyed enough to post a thread on MN about it... so they're BU.

Either way. YANBU to think they're lame, unoriginal knobends who probably can't get a woman of any colour, and probably can't make tea/coffee either.

Yeah, minimisschief, totally lolworthy.

Airplane has a lot more to answer to than simply 'crime against comedy' then. [sourface]

I haven't seen Airplane and the conversation went pretty much as stated. The context was pretty clear!

I'm fairly unshockable after years of working with teenagers but that one managed to trigger the jaw-drop reaction. Good point about whether I'd have been as shocked were the genders reversed.

Years ago I worked with a bloke who, when asked how str

Oops

...when asked how strong he liked his tea, would say "the colour of a Californian blonde"

I started a job about 8 yrs ago and on my first day, I was introduced to another man who was also starting that day. To put it into context, we were both Senior Management, I am black, he is White.

Anyway, I introduced myself to him and we shook hands, he said 'Very very pleased to meet you, I've never slept with a black woman before'.

Twat. He was massively over weight, red and sweaty and liked to be known as the 'funny' one in the office and thought his 'little jokes' were hilarious.

He said it in front of the entire Company (15 people). I replied to him by saying 'Well, that's not going to change any time soon'. I'm normally not very quick to respond in these situations but it just kind of fell out of my mouth.

Sorry, I think YABU. Ive heard loads of women say 'I like my coffee like I like my men. Rich, thick and black'. Why is that acceptable but when a guy says the same thing, its all a bit ?

I am

And speechless.

And, rest assured that does not happen often.

YABU. It was a joke.

YABU - it's a twist on a classic 'Airplane' line.
