To wonder what the weirdest thing a colleague has ever said to you?

[RainbowBriteUk]

My ex-CEO who hated me said she thought I had beautifully stunning eyes but not in a lesbian way. Disrespectful shit in all ways she was.

Same ex-CEO said lots of other batty shit!

Ha! Someone said they’d seen me with my girlfriend and they didn’t know I was “like that” but it was okay these days. I asked what he was on about. He said he’d seen me hugging a woman on my way out the night before.

It was my sister. I was off home with her to have dinner with my husband. But since it was none of his fucking business I just looked confused and walked out the door.

One asked me if my husband was responsible for all the banking in my house.

The same one had a massive hissy shit fit because I am not British and she thought it was disgusting because it should be 'British jobs for British people'.

It was an employment law firm.....

Randomly asked if my siblings and I all had the same dad.

When I was pregnant with my second child 'I heard about your little problem' . The baby was planned as was most definitely not a problem.

An older colleague once pointed at my stomach and said ‘oh you have a little bump - when are you due’

I wasn’t pregnant, I didn’t have a bump, I just had high waisted trousers on for once.

One said, are you going to try again and get it right next time on learning my second child was another boy.

I wouldn't know where to start with our old HR manager.
I am apparently too nice and should try to be a bitch sometimes. I am too happy, which means that I am a hobby worker and live off my husbands salary. And no-one will ever respect me because I take cakes and biscuits to work.
There's plenty more but it's too outing!

Working in a male environment there’s been many. “You’re the best looking girl I’ve seen in years”. Of course I was flattered. Then “if you got yourself a little room you’d make a fortune”.

Have you slept with the boss ?

"What you need is a damn good rogering". .

Said to me by a colleague. In front of the whole office.

When the Josef fritzl case was in the news-
Male colleague - “ I mean, my daughters a looker but I would never do that to her”

Me and another colleague were 😲😲

On learning I was pregnant, my then-boss said "many pregnancies end naturally in the first three months"

Wasn't the only time he said anything insensitive.

Years ago a male colleague with no social skills asked me "are you bothered that you're the fattest person in the office?". He wasn't trying to be nasty, he was just interested. One of my other colleagues immediately said "she's about as bothered as you are about being the biggest tosser in the office".

Oh a ex colleague used to say some things
To another colleague’ is your dc dad foreign? ‘ he wasn’t she just though the child’s name sounded foreign it wasn’t at all . She asked me first I said no not at all then she asked the colleague because obviously she didn’t believe me .I mean I’m not sure why it matters anyway .
Same colleague said to me when I handed notice in that they would probably replace me with someone who didn’t gave children.
I was stunned why yes I used my annual leave for childcare but that’s what leave is for and I always gave notice hardly ever took time off when they were ill etc . Loads more too she was just a very unhappy bitch tbh.

I had a colleague who asked EVERYONE that started if they were transgender. Sometimes even before introducing herself. I have no idea what the reaction would have been if someone said yes

The HR director told me “You have really impressive boobs. We’ve all discussed it in our office.” No idea what she was thinking. Surely that’s HR 101. Don’t comment on the employees’ boobs. I just did this face

“I once got an infection and my testicle swelled up to the size of a grapefruit.”
Okay, thanks, moving onto the next item on the agenda…

A colleague said to me "I'm assuming the baby wasn't planned" and "I always thought you were a lesbian because you have tattoos and purple hair" all in one conversation she also told my colleague she wasn't a "proper ni**er" (can't bring myself to write it) because she had relaxed hair and a white boyfriend.

When I was pregnant with my first, a colleague heard me say that I wasn’t sure if I would breast feed… she turned to me and said I was an unfit mother and should have the baby taken from me when born!

Male facilities manager (mid 60s) told me (then mid 20s): ‘If I was a woman I’d want to be you. Or Doris Day.’

He was a lovely man and it wasn’t meant creepily. It just really made me laugh and always stuck with me.

Er…how did she not get sacked (or did she)?

Ooh for once I can join in, I have a good one!
When heavily pregnant, after struggling to conceive for a number of years, a colleague who was also struggling to conceive approached me, rubbed my belly and said "Ooh I'm so jealous!" She laughed then said "I could cut that baby from you and run away with it right now!" then walked away giggling 😳 We both worked for the police at the time!!

I'd confided in a male colleague about my struggles to have a baby as I knew him and his wife had struggled before having their 2 children. We chatted about it a few times and he was very helpful.
When I finally did fall pregnant and announce it at work, the first words out of his mouth were "are you keeping it?". I was a very odd thing to say considering our previous conversations.

I loved that job but there were some strange people in the office.

About 5 or 6 years ago, a team manager asked my pregnant colleague if she knew who the baby’s dad was. We were quite shocked, but he did have history for making tackless comments.

I got told more than once that I was too nice to be a learning disabilities nurse.
Too nice to nurse some of the most vulnerable people in our society with the highest needs
