Nothing wrong at approaching somone you like, introducing yourself and asking them out.

One tip.... don't use the words sexual harassment in the first sentance when meeting somone....

[–] dexa_scantron@lemmy.world 76 points 2 years ago

It's not awesome to ask someone out when they're working, but it's not harassment unless it's repeated.

[–] wellee@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Right, and while at work hahaha. Could you go up to anyone who looks less receptive? What is this comic, just ragebait?

[–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 141 points 2 years ago (25 children)

I mean, no, it isn’t. It is if she says no and you keep at it.

Probably the most pathetic cartoon I've ever been shown. Author needs real world experiences.

Unless I'm missing an entire frame, this seems extremely unreasonable, likely illegal, even if that guy is a douche.

She's a cop, you think they need a legit reason to arrest someone?

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Sigh. I'll go get the bootlicker insult ready.

Thought that dumb meme was supposed to be bingo-based.

That's not sexual harassment, but it is abuse of power lol

I mean... maybe don't get 2.5 inches away from her face while rubbing your chest up against her shoulder?

Probably best not to club her on the head and drag her back to your cave either - at least, not without prior consent :-P.

I smiled at her by the photocopier. Now I'm facing chemical castration.

Maybe don’t have your erect penis pressing against them when you ask?

Telling her she's beautiful and asking for her phone number once is not sexual harassment. Continuing to do so after she has made it clear she isn't interested is.

However, it does look like he's either looming over her or about to put his arm around her. That's definitely not ok.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He is standing side-on to the officer, one hand presumably resting against some surface (a wall) and the other hand on his hip.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

And is pretty uncomfortably close, for an initial unsolicited introduction

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If you think that combination of body language and proximity is acceptable when speaking to someone for the first time you're mistaken. It comes across as Intimidating. Respect people's personal space.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Technically, no. However, when an officer is at their post in uniform, interfering with their work is a punishable offence.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

No, they just take their BDSM roleplay really seriously.
