I worked as a patient care technician in a hospital. And I was giving a bath to an aphasiac patient (totally coherent, but can’t speak due to a stroke some 10 years back). My badge got caught in her hair as I leaned over her. She all of a sudden said “Ow.” This woman hasn’t spoken since her stroke, so we were both very surprised. I looked at her with my mouth open, dumb in astonishment. She was just as shocked, but she knew the message she wanted to get out.

“I want to die,” she said quickly like she’s been wanting to say it for a long time. She looked directly into my eyes.

“What?” I asked idiotically.

“Let me die,” she repeated as clear as the first time.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

There was a long pause and I saw her face shift to a disappointed frown. She wasn’t going to speak again.I told the nurse and charge nurse. Then I got busy and soon my shift was over.

I came back the next day, and her room was filled with flowers, “Feel better” balloons, and a bunch of family. Her husband was sitting on her bed flipping through a photo album and showing pictures of when they were young to the family. I could tell by her face how angry she was. She would not look at them. And I realized that the husband and this family have medical power of attorney over her, so they decide if she lives or not. And they won’t listen to her. I look around the room: her IV, her feeding tube, her oxygen. All there to help her live because they want her to.

She’s done, but they won’t let her go. And she’s trapped inside her head wanting to rest and be done with the hospital, be done with her long suffering. Totally coherent but unable to decide anything for herself because we can’t hear her.

I think of that often and it’s a nightmare scenario for me. So scary.

I’m a teacher that works at the school that I went to. I’ve ran into a few creeps at other schools (and reported who I’ve needed to; students, please talk to trusted adults and we can and will get things done) but the creepiest one I’ve heard came from the creep’s own mouth and was from a teacher that started when I was a junior.

I was talking to him in the hallway. He was a liked teacher when I went there and was still there when I came back. I brought up the valedictorian from my class.

Him: “Yeah, she was nice. None of you knew I was even with her back then.”

Me: “…what?”

Him: “oh yeah. She was a cutie patootie. Much hotter than the senior girls today.”

I reported that s**t faster than a gunslinger. Would you believe that one of the senior girls immediately came forward.

F****r probably doesn’t like prison. Good. And I can’t hear “cutie patootie” without feeling nauseous anymore.

When dealing with someone behaving inappropriately at work, communication is everything. Unless the other person suddenly becomes extremely self-aware, the odds are that they’ll continue doing what they’ve been doing. That is unless someone calls them out for their behavior.

You can start things off very simply. Very calmly tell your problematic colleague that you don’t appreciate them doing something the next time they overstep your boundaries. By all means, be assertive, but don’t sound accusatory or judgmental. Make your boundaries very clear.

If your coworker is reasonable at all, they’ll change their behavior after you bring up the problem. Some folks have an issue with self-awareness. They don’t understand how their actions impact the people around them.

When I was an apprentice a man walked into the shop asking for a tattoo of “something” on his upper thigh. He kept staring at me while talking to the artist. He ended up going on this whole thing about how he needed the tattoo because he was being sent to jail soon for sexually touching a kid and wanted to get a tattoo on his upper thigh so he can say he never touched her because she couldn’t say he had a tattoo.
He left and we reported him to the police. The next day they came down to take a statement from everyone that was present.

Others, however… well, if they’re narcissistic enough, they won’t ever admit that they’re wrong. They’ll continue causing chaos and acting creepy because they want to. In that case, it’s probably best to escalate things. Document some examples of their behavior and go talk to human resources, your supervisor, or your boss. Maybe they can help put an end to the toxicity.

Meanwhile, you might feel uncomfortable being anywhere near that coworker. You might want to consider sitting further away from them. Or, if things are seriously bad, you might even want to consider transferring to another department altogether. Though, if that’s the case, it’s an indication that there’s an issue with the entire workplace environment. Looking for another job might be your best way forward. Though, if you have the time and money, you can always seek legal help. There’s no excuse for harassment at work.

I had a patient tell me in graphic detail about how they attempted to sexually assault my co-worker who was on night shift the previous night. He had cornered her in a small med room but she was able to get out luckily. The detail which he went into, the tone, and the way he spoke just made every fibre of my being stand on edge. He said he was going to do it again that night and "They were meant to be together. He would take them both away the next night." Lots of details I don't want to repeat. Everything he told me he was not joking in any way. Management hadn't done a single thing about the attempted assualt the previous night and he was in my care that day. Spoke with his Attending and got him to the right care floor he needed. Our med/cardiac wasn't the right spot for that. I strongly feel that if I hadn't he would have [SAed] her or worse. I've never felt that way before. I imgagine that is our innate primal fear. My whole body was just screaming with anxiety, danger warnings going off. I'll never forget the way he made me feel when he spoke about it. I'm just happy he wasn't able to hurt anyone.

At the end of the day, it’s up to you what your boundaries are, how you communicate them, and how you enforce them. It’s also up to you to decide whether you still want to stay at the company if the problematic individual gets spoken to, reassigned, or fired.

However, in some cases, keep more of an open mind about the importance of having crystal-clear communication about your boundaries. Some individuals aren’t ignoring subtle social norms because they’re ‘creeps.’ As The New York Times Magazine points out, some people can struggle with social cues and behavioral norms because they have autism spectrum disorder. Other folks might be extremely socially awkward. And yet, this is not a blank check to do whatever you want.

“Once the rules have been carefully explained, however, it’s infantilizing to use the condition as an excuse for harmful behavior. It isn’t hard to understand a rule that, say, forbids a supervisor from making sexual or romantic overtures to junior staff members. An adult man on the autism spectrum is an adult man; the spectrum isn’t a certificate of sainthood,” Kwame Anthony Appiah writes.

But even so, this is really disturbing. I'm a middle aged man, and NONE of my friends group have ever said anything like these comments in my presence. Ever. Maybe I've just been lucky in my friends, but what sort of bloke allows his friends to say anything like that?? And other men must tolerate it for it to become acceptable to them to say. The world is very strange, and scary in places.

Ditto. Was watching the Murdaugh Family Documentary last night and the 2 teens Buster and Paul are some of the absolute WORST of the worst right and remember like 5 people died in that family's presence with Paul killing the young girl Mallory in a boating accident but as the doc went on, you learn what a monster he is and was to everyone of his friends and I couldn't help but think WHY are these kids still hanging out with them? It's like "Hey did I ever tell you about the worst person I've ever met? One sec let me get him I hang out with him every day!" As soon as someone is toxic or creepy etc, that was it pretty much for me. Gone. So like you, I have no real stories like this. Let's not forget though, most of these are not from friends and are either coworkers or bosses etc.

The second year I taught high school, I saw a boy shove his girlfriend against the wall. I reported him and talked to the young girl. She was so appreciative and so was her best friend. Years later, even after I'd left that school to teach college, I got a letter from the best friend and the young girl, thanking me for what I did. I still have that letter somewhere; I knew I made a difference in two people's lives, and teachers want to make a difference, even if it's only one student. (The young assaulter was arrested. You're a piece of s**t, Josh Y.)! This was in 2001. The young girl married a nice boy and had a few children, and that makes me smile.

I didn't know the man in question but in the first week of a job I took about 10 years ago, it was mentioned by a slightly tipsy colleague on a night out that the desk I was using (not the computer, that had been disposed of after the police were finished with it) had been last occupied by a man serving time for downloading and watching CP out of office hours on his PC... Yuck

It was summer in the 1990s. I (F 20s) was a mail carrier, just got back to the office after delivering my (walking) route. Therefore, I was hot and sweaty after a long day. As I was unloading my truck, this creepy older coworker walked from his truck several spaces away, to my truck's open door, and proceeded to DEEPLY SNIFF THE SEAT OF MY TRUCK WHILE HOLDING EYE CONTACT. He then have me a lewd grin and walked off. Sick b***ard.

I just started a new job and an older co-worker was very helpful to me. We didn't work closely together, but he was very kind and helpful when we did work together. Since he had daughters my age, I stupidly assumed he was just acting sort of "fatherly". Nope! About a year and a half later, we ended up working the same shift. He asked me if I could keep a secret. I said sure. He said that he thinks that I have a "fantastic figure" especially "from the waist down". He asked me if I worked out and even asked me about my sex life. I noped out of that room as soon as I could.

I remember being 12 years old, standing in a Dollar Tree and eating an ice cream when a man old enough to be my grandfather looked me right in the eyes while talking to a co-worker and said "She looks like she's enjoying that ice cream" with the most disgusting grin on his face. I've never forgotten it. Mind you, this was a total stranger, and I was 12. Tall for my age, but still very clearly 12. I've never forgotten it.

One time I was working close at a gift shop and the batteries started failing in a row of singing dancing dalmatians I'd just been straightening on the shelf. They all began singing various distorted parts of "singing in the rain" while their plastic gears ground painfully for how slowly they were doing their lopsided little dances. I turned them all off and hauled the vacuum out so I could drown out the blood screaming through my ears for the abruptness of it all.

Had a professor for one class who was kinda flirty in that Southern old man way, maybe in his late 60s. I'm used to it and didn't react. I'm 20 yrs old at this point and I said something in class about being married. He backed up from me and said--in front of the whole class--"I wouldn't have flirted with you if I knew you were married!"
