Shelly IS a horrible person but she is not the thief here.

Who was it? Please tell. Was it Garbo?

“You are going to tell everyone about this, and try to ruin my life, aren’t you?”

I dunno. In my experience the “eye candy” tends to get promoted and are given cash bonuses while the women who are just there to work are quietly ignored. YMMV.

It’s true though, you don’t sound like a jerk at all. I am not a knockout but fairly “easy on the eyes.” I noticed when I was younger that when guys tried to flirt at work and I was “business-like” with them that some of them took it as a personal offense. I should have worked it better in my OP. It’s not so much “a…

I will never stop eating cupcakes! Besides, don’t you like having something soft to bounce off of? Get on over here and get to work!

They weren’t then either anyway. :/

That guy? NOTHING, absolutely nothing would make him feel guilty about anything that he said or did. If he wants me to replace my wardrobe so that my appearance is more pleasing to him then he can provide me with an appropriate expense account so that I can do so.

Something tell me that if your friend had worn her long hair up in a twist or bun, she would have been told that she looked “unapproachable.” Rat bastards!

There is nothing that is preventing you from wearing a sundress or open-toed shoes or sleeveless outfits if you want to. Granted, it is not the norm, but I doubt there is a specific policy against it for the men. Go for it! :P

I wonder sometimes. If I was “eye candy” I wouldn’t have to work so damn hard. I wouldn’t have to fight as hard for my pay raises and promotions. If I made a mistake, all I’d have to do is shake my boobs and giggle.

I was told that my attire was “too corporate” and that I should try to “soften” my look up. My normal attire is button down shirts and slacks, just like the other (male) employees. I asked what the clothing allowance was so that I could replace my presumably offensive wardrobe on the company’s dime.

White doesn't signify virginity though, it denotes first marriage. The fashion for white wedding gowns only gained the prominence that they have now due to Queen Victoria.

Explode with rage? Dah-ling, I want to encase you in carbonite so that you will "stay fresh" forever and keep me company. :)

Not trolling or baiting here. Serious question, how old are you?

in Just-

I would guess some some people put way more effort into the wedding ceremony and reception than they ever intend to put into the marriage itself.

I'm not black either. Or white.

I was under the impression that "open carry" means that you can carry a gun on yourself, properly holstered e.g. openly visible but not drawn; not that one can carry a gun in one's hands while walking down the street

I am itching all over just from reading your post. My dog will give me a random flea from time to time in the summer and it makes me feel yucky; I would never be able to deal with a lice.
