Inappropriate Workplace Conversation
I feel it is my duty to educate you on things that will probably get your ass canned at work. Here are some examples of lines you should not use at work or while speaking with co-workers:“I can’t believe McCain didn’t win…what are people thinking?”
“Hey, your elephant in the trunk is showing (referring to party affiliation).”
“Yeah, you need to tuck that back away, will ya?”
“You’re going for a motorcycle ride?”
“I love women that have just ridden on a motorcycle they are so relaxed and happy.”
“You know where the best place to hang on to is, don’t you?”
“Your wife just can’t keep her pants up.”
“And, that God for that…”
“Where as mine has the opposite problem.”
“Oh, my God, with her, you just never know what you are going to see. I was in a meeting with her one day and she leaned forward and I saw her nipple. Felt like I should have had a cigarette after that one.”
“That’s disgusting.”
“Most guys wouldn’t think so…”
“Well, context matters.”
It is entirely possible, these are pieces of an actual conversation I had while at lunch with two of my male co-workers, but due to pending investigation with our HR department, I really cannot comment any further. Now the question is….which one of us do you think is being investigated?
