New job issues

    Started a new job there recently, great pay and they even pay over the odds for travel costs so it covers my fuel for weekends too, it's a temporary thing where I'll spend the next few weeks travelling from town to town launching a new exciting product. (not sure what the rules on advertising are here so I won't be specific as to what it is)

    There is one issue though, I do most of this travelling with a partner, he's a top guy, really funny and we have a lot of similar interests, he's very good at the job and his father is the boss so it's beneficial for me to stay on his good side. The thing is, when we finish a presentation he likes to celebrate, he tells me to pull up my top and then he suctions his lips on my stomach to create a fart noise (when I broached the subject with friends they said it was called a raspberry, but I've never heard that term before) First I thought he was just making a move on me, I told him I wasn't gay and he laughed, he claimed that was just how he celebrated success, I actually believe him, he talks about women all the time and doesn't do anything else that would be a bit odd for a straight person.

    At first I was inclined to just go with it but now he's sensing my discomfort and I don't want him asking his Father to pair him with someone else, what should I do?

    The OP likes making up stories. He does it regularly and doesn't seem to care that he's going to get banned.

    So. Let's pretend it's true and give him his much needed giggle eh. Then we can lock her up and hope he has sufficiently creamed himself for another wee while.

    The OP does seem to have issues with other peoples fathers.

    Might I suggest a no contact with fathers clause in your life?

    How was the fishing off the yacht ,by the way?

    Jaysus, some people think they should start at the top. Suck it up, someday you'll be giving the raspberries.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    Wait until he starts doing the banana..

    You should come work for me OP. I like to celebrate success by kicking colleagues in the face. Not sure where I got the idea from

    Don't forget his step father - he's trying to kill him too.


    OP = Dead Man Walking/Sailing

    Well they do make up a large portion of the male population, short of strapping a gopro to my head I have no idea how I'm supposed to prove what I say, just think this can be a friendly setting for light-hearted to solid advice.

    I tend to take the road less travelled and that gets me into some less than ordinary situations which I recently thought would be entertaining to share here,

    but go ahead lock this thread up and we can go back to threads complaining about the recession and polls that pander to common opinion
