colleague sat on DH's lap

[mooseyso]

Not sure whether I am over reacting that one of DH's colleagues came and sat on his lap to say goodbye to him at end of a night out?

She went over to him as she was leaving (he was sat down) and instead of him getting up to hug her goodbye she sat on his lap and gave him a hug, then they spoke for about 30 seconds and she then patted him on the knee and left. I was across the room watching (she obviously didn't know I was watching but knew I was there

Am I being unreasonable to feel this was way too overfamiliar?

Drunk, someone did similar at my work once and she was reported to compliance for inappropriate behaviour

I've got to be honest here, if I was absolutely hammered this might be the kind of thing I would have done in my single twenties. It wouldn't have meant anything more sinister was going on, just that I was pissed as a fart, and mortified the following Monday.

She was either drunk or he was. Either way, how horrible, embarrassing and inappropriate.

Ditto @arethereanyleftatall

@CuriousaboutSamphire I think your talking about the cool wife thread from yesterday, I thought the same.

This is bang out of order, I would be raging and would of definitely let her know I was raging too.

We're going to remove this one shortly as we need to take a look behind the scenes. Thanks for the reports

Lolz

Only work colleague ever to sit on my lap was female. Then again I wouldn’t expect a male one to do it.

Very inappropriate behaviour described by OP though.

Thanks avocado

OMG ........she sat on his knee !!! That's a sackable offence for her & you should ltb as he's obviously cheating.

Never mind the fact they were both fully clothed, she isc15 years younger than him & knew you were there.

Some of you need to get a grip & join the human race. It's called being colleagues / friends.

Jeez. I'm glad I'm in my 50's & divorce. Don't think I could cope with what being in a relationship now means.

I'd be very pissed off about that too.

Awful behaviour

Of course not.

The kids (even the 6 foot 3 one!) sit on my lap and hug me. Not happening with work colleagues. That's way beyond the boundaries.

She wouldnt have sat anywhere for a while if it was me.
Would have slapped her .
It is way off line

Hell, no!! That's bang out of order- regardless of her age! Way too over-familiar. I went batshit when one of hubby's colleagues straightened his tie & picked fluff off his jacket once at a wedding - cheeky b!tch!! To his credit, hubby batted her away & his face said it all! She was just oblivious & had the hide of a rhino. All the other women on the table fumed along with me!!!!

I wonder if any of these young junior women ever become older senior women. Because I bet in workplaces where young women sit on old men's laps, it's rare.

It is over familiar. I would be annoyed.
