[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the guys who said to me on the job site yesterday were very clear: "Oh, I had a pleasure working with such pretty ladies today." ... I was NOT clear because I didn't say what I wanted to: "Uh, have you been buried under a rock? It's not cool to say that to women!"  [/quote]
Surely you're smart and reasonable enough to see there's a middle ground between passively accepting that comment and telling the job site guy he's an asshole?  How about "Watch out fella, the only guy who gets to call me 'pretty' is my husband!" or "Yeah, I was just planning to tell the people back at the office how pretty you guys are too!"[/quote]

I'm not that PP, but I think it's worth pointing out that while she COULD do those things, why does it have to be her responsibility to correct inappropriate behavior? Why can it not be the responsibility of the males behaving inappropriately to not do that? Why should she confront this person directly rather than reporting this person to the appropriate human resources department so that they can address the inappropriate behavior?

You are not my child. It is not my job to teach you how to behave appropriately. [/quote]
