the last one is a bit funny, if its just workplace banter. If used as a threat for further abuse.... fucking hell

    Sexual harassment is not funny.

    I find childish antics funny that's just a weakness of mine, but agree that when used threateningly like this as pre-cursor to sexual abuse is just horrific

    You’re free to find childish antics funny, but those kinds of “childish antics” don’t belong in the workplace whether used threateningly or not.

    If you think that kind of thing is appropriate in the workplace if it’s “just a joke” then you have some growing up to do yet.

    I take it that a colleague that you know well has never come up to you with a cucumber at crotch height, plonked it on your desk, and said with a grin "so how about that then?"

    Nope. That’s the behavior of teenaged boys who still lack maturity. I work with adults that know how to behave like adults, not children.

    I work with adults who mask their immaturity behind a thin veil of professionalism, but comes out in unexpected ways when certain topics come up. Others are a bit more candid and easier to get along with, because you know exactly what they're thinking

    As the old saying goes:
    "Different strokes for different people of diverse backgrounds to be applied equally, wholly, and with everlasting love and grace, lest we in not doing so inadvertently succumb to our baser natures at the mere mention of a pineapple."

    At least that's how my grandma used to say it
