I do not think it's cool that a guy makes dick/penis jokes in a predominately all female workplace with the female staff. NOT COOL to me...but then again, maybe that is the uptight side of me.
I was raised and taught upon entering the adult work place, that such talk is frowned upon. That one may joke around from time to time with their co worker..but for a male staff to go up to a female staff and ask...."what does that look like"...in reference to a craft that apparently resembled a male appendage.....just not cool. NOT COOL!
What happened to work place etiquette? Do I live in the stone ages? Do I live under a rock? I mean I too can joke around...or make innuendos just like anyone. I too can be somewhat inappropriate BUT I thought there was a time and a place for such talk. Apparently I am wrong and do live under a rock.
I have learned in the last week that it is normal talk in the work place or ANYWHERE. That it's okay for a guy to joke like that with a female or male co worker or vice versa. I voiced my concern out of concern for the person making the joke...that it may be mis interpreted and I didn't want them to get in trouble. It turned into this huge deal of me not being a funny person, being uptight and just not knowing what is normal.
It has been a week since this dis agreement...and while that person may be okay. I AM NOT. I am not cool with it. And I don't know how to handle it...so rant and vent I will! I AM NOT okay with it!
Is it okay to make dick/penis jokes at the workplace?
Seriously Confused...........
