to tell him to get the fuck off my coat?!

cjt110 · 16/03/2016 13:19

I work in an office. I have a parker style coat with a hood thats lined with fluff. If I put it on the back of my chair, it falls off, i roll on it etc etc. There are 3 spare chairs in the office area and no coat rail/hooks etc. So as these desks/chairs are unoccupied, I pop my coat on the back of the nearest chair. Office area is shared by me and colleague. Every time he walks past my coat he strokes the fucking hood! Didn't bother me at first but he does it all the time now, and when he's coming back from having a fag (I don't smoke). I am willing to hear IABU but it just makes me so fucking angry that he does it.

I exploded this morning and I said to him this morning when he did it "Look, please stop doing that. It drives me nuts" He said why. "I said because it's the same as you walking up to me every time you walk past and stroking my shoulder!"

AIBU to feel annoyed someone accosts my coat in such a fashion?! Sad

Perhaps he secretly worships you.

Chocolatteaddict1 · 16/03/2016 13:41

Oh no that's weird.

What if he has greasy hands?
What if he is wiping bogeys on the fur ?
What if he has just been toilet and not washed his hands (vom)

STOPPIT, chocolateaddict1! You're not helping! Wink

cjt110 · 16/03/2016 13:59

ctjoy103 And in your hastiness to respond and no doubt haven't read the full thread, you have outed yourself as a first class bitch Biscuit

TinklyLittleLaugh I cant but help think the hood fondling is inappropriate on all kinda of levels Blush

Can hardly move the bloody coat now without it looking like a huge issue. I'll just have to leave it where it is and he'll just have to resist temptation!

cjt110 · 16/03/2016 14:01

Chocolatteaddict1 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'll have to burn the fecking thing now. And as such you OWE me a new coat - without furry hood! Wink

I'd have to stroke a soft thing left tantalising on a spare chair on my route through the office too, I suspect Blush

The furry offcut suggestion is good Smile

GooseberryRoolz · 16/03/2016 14:05

Oh Chocolate you're a meaner Grin

crispytruffle · 16/03/2016 14:05

If his hands stunk of fags I'd hate him doing it and I would have said.....because your hands stink!

Oh the irony of calling anyone calling someone else a "first class bitch".

She really wasn't saying anything too bad... nor calling anyone misogynistic names.

bialystockandbloom · 16/03/2016 14:07

It's stuff like this that makes working in an office so, um, character-building.

The conversation about crisps is just hilarious Grin

Do you actually work in The Office?

cjt110 · 16/03/2016 14:11

bialystockandbloom I do try to umm and ahh and nod in the right places and not listen to some of the waffle. Sadly not in The Office no. Just This Office.

Yep very annoying. But, get a bag for life type carrier bag, fold it up and put in bag ans stick it under your desk.

cjt110 · 16/03/2016 14:18

I think it's bugged me because Im in the throes of a meltdown because it's like a personal space type thing. Yes, it is on a chair in the office but there is no NEED to fondle my coat insuch a way.

I've got issues. I know, I know Shock

foodiefil · 16/03/2016 14:18

Sweetie I think this one is you, for whatever reason Wine Chocolate he's being harmless and he's probably just attracted to its soft fluffiness! Take a minute and then email him saying 'sorry for snapping, it's not you just not feeling fantastic today!' he'll forget about it.

Hope you're ok Flowers

Is the hood detachable? You could drape yourself across his desk and offer it to him?

PresidentOliviaMumsnet · 16/03/2016 14:26

AHEM

??? Why the 'ahem'?

GooseberryRoolz · 16/03/2016 14:33

Yes well, knock 'em offguard Smile

GooseberryRoolz · 16/03/2016 14:35

I think something jokey in my entirely jocular 14.24 post has been taken as having some malign, bunfight-about-to happen meaning chocolate. I'm not sure, really.

Shame, because my next post just looks super-pervy without the lead-in Grin

Chocolatteaddict1 · 16/03/2016 14:35

How does do it though?

Is it a finger tip ruffle? OR is it fingers spread out wide, closing the fingers on the hair as he lifts his hands?

I do the spread fingers thing on my lady garden when it's gets too bushy

Chocolatteaddict1 · 16/03/2016 14:36

goose 😂😂😂 yes it does!
