Male Humor

Ya know sometimes women don't get male humor. Today while we were busy at the car rental counter with a line of customers, a bad name was used towards my coworker in a joking manner by another coworker. She was miffed. So miffed she emailed the bossman about it because she didn't want bother him at home. Apparently this guy miffed someone else (another guy) today with a negative comment that he called the bossman and the bossman was concerned enough to drive all the way over to see if the other guy was still angry hours later. It looks like I'll be learning to drive cars because my coworker refuses to drive them now when the offender is present. Then again the owner could smooth things over. I have been told that once a complaint is made to him, it does not happen again. I like that quality in a boss.

The offender never bothered me or said anything negative to me. In fact he is responsible and helpful toward me. I liked him. Then again, I have in the past called the owner at home when I have been miffed. I got the silent treatment for a while, but no more problems. That could be it, I'm not afraid to complain to higher authority. My philosophy is: If someone don't want to listen to me, then they can listen to the manager (or owner). Post later. Bye!

Update: The owner yelled at the offender and warned him that a mark of sexual harrassment will be placed on his employee file. He was not fired, but if anything like this happens again he will be. The owner ordered an apology to the miffed coworker, but I do not believe he ever did.
