Was this an inappropriate thing for my uncle to say?
I have to go with Bro Beast on this one.
I'm 14 and he's 16, is it inappropriate to date him?
A lot of people would say: No, all he wants is sex. but i say im 14 and i like this guy who's 16 and hes very loyal, the only reason why we dont date is because it's a long distance relationship. Anyways, I think it's totally okay, but MAKE sure if he does ask for sex, to just say no, unless you talk to an adult about it (but i would really recomend not doing it) i say go for it, in 20 years from now you will regret the things you didnt do rather than the things you did. just be extra cautious about it, i mean he sounds like a good guy stay safe and good luck :)
Is it inappropriate for me to text my boss to ask him how he is feeling? He called out sick today, and texted me this morning that he won't be coming in today.
Every boss/employee dynamic is different. Organizations have different workplace policies and rules that usually outline expected behaviour. Having said that boss/employee relationships evolve even when policies are unchanged. Texting has most definitely offered a new way to communicate. However without body language and void of emotions it can leave a lot of room for interpretation. Is it inappropriate to text your boss? Probably not. But is it inappropriate to ask how he is feeling after calling in ill? The fact that you asked makes me believe that you feel it is inappropriate. And, if you feel it is, then it is. Perhaps ask other employees if they do. Or, make it an agenda item next staff meeting. You will get a more honest answer from your boss in a group forum as saying no as a general guideline doesn’t seem personal.
Is it inappropriate for a man to watch an X-rated movie in front of his girlfriend’s adult son as she comes home from work?
My mom’s boyfriend, who stays at home, showed me a DVD he bought on the street, which was porn, according to the cover. He went to the living room and played it. My mom came home from work and saw him in the living room. In his defense, he wasn’t pleasuring himself, at least not that I know of. I was in another room, but I knew he was in there watching, and I saw my mom walk in there. Also, one day he did a “stroking” gesture in front of her while telling me that I need to get s girlfriend instead of doing “this.” That made me very uncomfortable, but my mom reacted like I was being touchy and sensitive. Basically, he has no class. Regarding my mom being the breadwinner, she typed up his résumé and arranged interviews, to which he of course had no job after the fact. One day, he told someone at a family gathering what he does for a living, as my mom obviously told him to say that occupation because she's embarrassed by him. Of course, I am the bad guy according to my family. My aunt even asked me, “Are you and your stepdaddy getting along?”, followed by “What do you call him?” She was obviously being a smart-a$$, as she knows I don’t like him, but she does. But I told her I call him [his first name]. Therefore, I’m the black sheep, thanks to my mom hiding things about him and telling the family how mean I am to him. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mother. But I hate how I’m automatically wrong in everyone’s eyes.
Is it inappropriate for my wife's co-worker to slap her butt?
My company has parties for our clients, it happens that my wife works for a client. At one of our functions, one of my wife's male co-workers walked up behind us and slapped her twice rather hard on the butt. She turned around and hugged and kissed him (which is normal, they've known each other a long while and that doesn't bother me). I didn't make a scene or say anything, but afterward I told her that I was upset and that it was over the line and inappropriate for him to do that. She just tried to make excuses. Was that type of behavior unacceptable and over the line?
A coworker was making inappropriate comments about my body and rather than be rude to him, I avoided speaking with him. He's started to try talking with me again. Do I confront him about this now or wait until he says something inappropriate again?
Comments about a person’s body = sexual harassment. And the person on the receiving end gets to decide what is offensive.That being said, when it comes to the topic of dealing with co-workers, the best practice is to speak up, in no uncertain terms, saying, that you find that comment offensive or innapropriate and you would appreciate it if he/she didn’t do it again.If this incident didn’t occur too long ago, it may be worth mentioning, casually, the next time you speak with that person, clearly, and consisely. Then move on. If he repeats the behavior, inform your supervisor or manager -they are legally required to take action. If they fail to act, then they and their company assumes a huge liability.Note: Although you are not “required” to inform the offender to stop, it’s almost always a best practice to speak up when the topic of conversation takes a wrong turn at work.And yes, like the poster “Sean” noted, in many cases, “silence” is oftentimes taken as consent.Good luck.
Is it inappropriate if your husband's closest friends are women?
I have several close female friends whom I have known for years, and whilst I was married, these friendships continued. They had no adverse effect on my marriage in any way, and why would they have? I can only assume that you are insinuated that some sort of sexual relationship with these friends might have threatened the marriage. If so, I'll say this; why wait until I was married to embark on a sexual relationship with a friend? Why not before? Why on earth would getting married make this more likely? The only threat in this scenario is having a jealous partner, but if it wasn't female friends triggering the jealous feelings, it would be something else. Having female friends is a positive attribute to look for in a potential male partner, it shows that he can relate to women on a level other sexual attraction. It shows he values women as people and not just receptacles.
Older Male Customer Kissed My Neck. Was that Inappropriate? And how do I avoid this in the future? 10pts?
I think it's pretty clear that "Dave" finds you attractive, and it sounds like he's a bit socially anxious (or at least awkward) himself. Blowing you a kiss, and later giving you a greeting peck on the cheek that turned out to be a peck on the neck, are probably his somewhat awkward way of letting you know that he's interested. He's probably hoping to gauge your reaction to those, rather than risking rejection by actually asking you to go out sometime. I'm not saying that what he's doing is okay; blowing you a kiss is one thing, but invading your personal space with a kiss on the neck is overstepping the limits of appropriate behavior in my opinion. However, I don't get the impression that he's someone who makes a habit of hitting on a bunch of younger women - because frankly, if he was, he'd probably be better at it. If it makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to ask him to stop. It sounds like he's just a lonely gentleman who's used to having a wife around and no longer has that, and he probably misses female companionship and thinks you're nice. So I would urge you to be polite when you let him know that you're not interested, but let him know nonetheless. If you don't, you can't really blame him for continuing to flirt - and if it makes you too uncomfortable for too long, you may eventually get frustrated and tell him off loudly and impolitely, which would be hurtful to him, and also would be unprofessional to do at work and may adversely affect your job. If you know his last name, use it (again, quietly and politely), because to call him "Mr. Smith" instead of "Dave" underscores the fact that you think he's an older man and not a peer who you would ever consider dating. Something like "Please stop doing that, Mr. Smith. I'm just trying to do my job here, and it makes me uncomfortable when customers get a little too (personal? affectionate? flirty? pick one)." Best of luck to you. Oh, and if you brush him off with a "just trying to do my job" excuse in his cousin's presence, you might scare the cousin off as well, which would mean that you'd have to proactively pursue the cousin next time in order for that to go anywhere. (He invited you for drinks, so next time you see him, tell him that you remember the invitation and ask when he might be available to do that.)
Do Trump supporters understand how inappropriate it was for him to toss rolls of paper towels during his visit to Puerto Rico?
No.They either hate blacks.Or hate Hispanics..even American Hispanics.Or they hate the state of their own affairs and the want the whole system to go to shit because if they can’t get up there they want everyone to come down to them.Or they measure that his ugly, racist stupidity will be profitable if they buy the right stocks and look the right color.Yes.In there deepest sleep they all know how offensive and stupid and ugly he is. But so many don’t care because it may be advantageous to them.We stopped being a symbol of greatness to the world. We used to be the Great American Melting Pot. We used to be proud of the Statue of Liberty. We used to be the light on a hill. But we got scared. We let the rich stop paying us and convince us it was the poor looking for jobs at fault. We elected a manscummier than most.And they will come up with any excuse for him. He violated all the Christian values they cherish. He divorced. abused women. Called people names. lied. Bragged about crime. cheated people that did good work for him. Cheated people that went to his University. Talked about sleeping with his daughter. Called anyone that was 30 and not a millioniare a loser. Shamed the veterans and POWs and parents of dead veterans.But Many Republicans want to see the world as only white and Christian (whatever breed of Christian they are) and they want to make if a xenophobic fight.And others are just selfish, ugly, simpletons.So no, stop expecting them to live up to the decency they claim to uphold. In fact, had Trump whipped out his micropenis and peed on the poor people they would argue he was being generous.
