to think saying "she wants the D" is disgusting?

Especially when said by a cocky arrogant man.

It's just so demeaning. Or am I just a prude?

I don't think an email to him is a good idea. Reporting it would be far more effective. However, If you really feel like that is the best option be much more factual and hard line.

Perhaps:

"I have heard comments that you have made about me to other members of staff. I consider these comments to be sexual harassment and if there are any further incidences it will be reported to HR."

The problem with that approach though is it opens a dialogue and could just make him go 'underground'. So still being snide and sly with comments but to people who won't tell you. Far far better to report.

I suppose you could email the above (by ChasedByBees) and send a cc to your manager/supervisor as well. It might alert him that you mean business.

Caitlin17 · 08/12/2013 15:28

Do not under any circumstances send the suggested email. All you are doing is.giving him an opportunity to wrong foot you.

Caitlin17 · 08/12/2013 15:31

And don't even think of emailing him and cc'ing anyone else. The little creep has the right to have any complaint treated confidentially via the correct forum. You are setting yourself up for disciplinary procedures if you do.

Caitlin17 · 08/12/2013 15:41

Seriously. Don't email anyone at work about this.

You are making a serious allegation. Email is not a secure medium.

Email can be forwarded or copied on automatically without the sender knowing; PAs, secretaries, assistants etc can have access to mail boxes without you knowing.

Trigglesx · 08/12/2013 15:47

That's true, what Caitlin17 says. Thinking on it, emails are not secure and it could make things worse.

Is there some reason you can't just make a complaint through the appropriate channels?

I have never heard this phrase. Luckily

monicalewinski · 08/12/2013 15:55

You can make an informal complaint at work and make it clear that you do not require any further action than him being spoken to - it does not have to blow out of proportion at all.

Your work should have and E & D rep who deals with and logs all these sorts of things, and you can even leave it as just a discussion with them if you decide not to do anything else.

Nipping it squarely in the bud does not necessarily mean being the 'girly grass who can't take a joke'.

As Caitlin said, no email as you are entering into a 'tit for tat' then and you lose the moral high ground.

My DP says it to me sometimes 'do you want the D?' I just think it's funny. Depends on the context tbh.

Twat.

I've heard of this D,
That makes girls say 'yes please'
But after a week,
Its burns when they wee.

Toilet wall, tomorrow.
