Two questions:

1. Was your mother involved?

2. How many times and in what postions was your mother involved?
 
Make sure you confront HIM first. Don't go directly to your boss. Talk to him one on one and if he still doesn't stop, or if he gets defensive then tell your boss.

Jesus. I'd be careful, if I were you. Complaining about it to your boss may be the final straw, your vagina may simply collapse into a singularity and suck you into it. Don't risk it.

Seriously, grow up. Just ignore him. If your coworkers got nothing done because a guy was talking about getting it on with some random chick, that's at least as much a statement about them as it is about his horribly offensive topic of conversation.
 
this reminds me of a former co-worker who had a problem with me calling him by his last name. the little bitch IMs me and says that i am to call him by his first name only or he will have to have a talk with our manager. he did this from about 15 feet away in the same aisle instead of speaking to me face to face. he later went to our manager, who behind closed doors laughed at him alongside me. maybe the OP should go to seminary and hear co-workers pedo stories instead.

And this offends you how? My gut reaction is to tell you to stop being a bitch. If you go to a supervisor about it, he'll probably take some kind of action out of a feeling of managerial duty, but walk away from it thinking your a whiny bitch.

Maybe it's just me. I cant stand people who get easily offended.

I also hate people who are easily offended, but the guy is a moron for talking about that kind of stuff at work. If I ever have, it has only been with people I'm familiar with and I make sure nobody else is around. If you go around talking about all the places you've fucked in open in the workplace you deserve to get written up just for being that stupid.

That really depends on the company culture. I work in a privately held company with billions in revenues, and our workplace banter is akin to a frat house. That kind of speak goes on every day, and it makes it a much more enjoyable place to work IMO.

That's true and I've worked similar places, but if a new guy showed up I toned it down until I knew he was ok. If your work hires the OP and he sues, it doesn't matter what atmosphere existed before you're all still at fault.

So I guess I can't really judge because I don't work there.. it is hard for me to give this sort of advice anyway because I'm not offended by anything and wouldn't complain. I just thought it better to tell the guy personally before getting the boss involved.
 
As uncomfortable as this makes me, I'll try to respond seriously. If his discussion was making you uncomfortable, you should definitely say something. You can talk to him, or you can go quietly to a supervisor (provided you have a good one) and mention that you feel his discussion was inappropriate for the workplace. You have a right to feel comfortable at work, and if someone doesn't respect that a workplace should have a level of professionalism, that is not your fault.

That said, I personally disagree with you. I'm not easily offended, and I would love it if people in my workplace were willing to talk like drunken sailors on leave. I realize there is a certain level of decorum, which is why I maintain myself in a professional manner at work, but believe me, if I could, I'd be cracking dead baby jokes like gangbusters. I think people who are easily offended ruin it for the rest of us, and I think that you personally should figure out why you are offended by talk about sex; every human has sexual urges, it's natural. You wouldn't exist without sex. I think you should lighten up, but that's a personal opinion. Professionally, you are absolutely correct in saying that you have the right to not be subject to inappropriate conversations at work.

OK, that's too much seriousness for one day. Good luck getting that sand out of your vagina! 😀

You just couldn't help yourself, could you. You make a well thought out, serious and helpful post and you just ruin it with that line.


Good job. :laugh:
 
I think that OP should stop doing any and all work and create a thread detailing the events as they unfold until firing.
 
man up...and learn to ignore it and move on.

sorry to give you the harsh advice, but i dont think you should get offended, especially if its not about you.
 
Your a pussy so just ask your co workers to shout "earmuffs" whenever they are going to talk about something that might make your vagina feel like it has spent the day at the beach.
 
Was everyone else as offended as you? You can tell him to stop next time, but you can make it as painless as possible. If he does it again, just say something like, "Alright dude, I think we've heard enough. I'm trying to get this assignment done."
