Yeah, that's true. The thing that sucks is that I'm still dealing with them as adults. Just proves that they never grew up. We have this one guy who started working at the local consignment shop back in late December (I've been working there since the summer) and it didn't take long for him to make harassing remarks and so-called "jokes" at my expense. An example "You're a girl because I'm taller and stronger than you."
I first took it in stride and went along with a few "jokes" to let him know it didn't bother me but he kept doing it. I complained to the boss. She wasn't thrilled about his "humour" either and gave him a warning whether I complained or not. Earlier this month he made a few more remarks at me which I let slide but then he made another and I yelled at the top of my lungs "That's enough!".
It may not have been the smartest thing I did but I must've scared the crap out of him because he didn't say anymore nasty comments and "jokes" and he kept a good distance away from me for the rest of the day.
And the majority of everyone I talked to about this agreed that they would've done the same thing if they were being targeted like that.
