Ya, that's fucked up and if that happens, I'd agree with you. Without it though? I don't see it.

k. i'll put you squarely inside the "talking to strangers = sexual harassment" group.

Look. I get it, you think the question is sexual harassment. I think the question is so benign that there's never a context where it is sexually harassment.

K. Got it. No talking to strangers.

K. No asking people you don't know "how's it's going." Got it.

Um, no, she's not. But stranger or otherwise I will never, EVER consider the phrase "hey, how's it going?" as sexual harassment unless it's followed up with something like a demand for a smile or literally anything else that actually IS sexual harassment. I just don't consider that question a demand. You do! That's…

I see a difference, I just don't consider either of them sexually harrasment.

I'm not done! After that I sit her down in my office and threaten to fire her if she doesn't do as I say and give me her lasagna recipe.

I can't stop harassing my receptionist. The power I have over her when I ask her "How's your day?" or "How do you like your new Prius?" is just too sexually exhilarating.

Ya. The context is someone walking down the street and another person trying to initiate a conversation with absolutely no use of sexually vulgar/suggestive language.

ok. Well that's an insane definition of sexual harassment that no reasonable person would ever agree with. My receptionist could sue me into an oblivion if that were the case, but it's not.

That may be true, but that doesn't qualify the statement "how is it going?" as sexual harassment.

Wait. Did the guy admit it or deny it?

He is in my mind.

I don't see how Rihanna disproves my analysis, she's just one person.

Dynamite analysis there dude.

Exactly! I can't take that risk.

Hence the joke.

We sure have dude. We sure have.

I've always joked around saying "I made it out of that place in four years! As far as I'm concerned, that's like a JD from Harvard."
