    Hmm. People should really have a look at the actual article. Do you want your boss sticking his licked finger in your ear? As an authority figure in a shitty job market, does he have any reason to stop? Am I the only one that finds that dynamic a little, um, unfun?

    Oh puhleeeze!!! And with a name like Oscar "Bravo"? Listen, NY retail is run by a bunch of big ol' Queens, Mister Bravo. Especially a brand like Coach. Develop some charm and if you really are "straight", thank him for the compliment and if it happens again be firmer in your response. Simple. Easy. Respectful.

    Get over yourself, and discontinue this vindictive frivolous witch hunt immediately and allow Mr. Williams to keep his job, and hopefully grow a better sense of humor. This is a bullshit case and a waste of NY state's precious resources.

    You should also develop a thicker skin big man and just use your intelligence (if you have any) to let your co-worker know his words were not cool. When in Rome...

    I've had a coworker tell me he would "knock out [my] teeth and ass-rape [me]" if I didn't go get him some fresh coffee. That's a pun, right?

    Oh Oscar, do you not live in the world? Lamest sexual harassment suit ever. Reminds me of that SNL short with Tom Brady.

    @secretagentman: Make this male-on-female and the comments would tell a different story. If the attention is unwanted, it's harassment, whoever the parties are.

    In fact, Brian, every office manager IS on notice to cut out harassment, even if they deliver it in "crappy, obvious jokes." So, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    Seriously, cross-post this to Jezebel and let's haul in a wider variety of opinions.

    Hmm...I have to disagree with you here. Depending upon the context of the lousy puns, it could be totally creepy. I had to deal with a pervy coworker for about two years before they finally canned him. If he had said any of the above to me, or touched any item of clothing I was wearing, my skin would've crawled right on over to human resources.

    @misslinda: Yeah, things like this don't always easily translate to text. Where bodies are in space, expression, audience etc. can make things that sound harmless on paper feel straight nasty.

    "untied [his] apron strings"? I'm trying to picture an instance in which a handbag salesman needs to wear an apron.

    And Oscar Bravo? Are his siblings named Charlie Foxtrot and Delta Echo?
