Miss Manners: A man from my class followed me to my car and lectured me about bras

omg, can't believe this classmate of hers is doing that πŸ™„... like, personal space is NOT just for women, you know? and yeah, following her to her car was super creepy πŸš—πŸ’β€β™€οΈ... she should totally call him out on it and set some boundaries ASAP πŸ”’. doesn't mean she can't hear his opinions or anything, but maybe not when she's clearly uncomfortable πŸ˜•.

and omg, the baby shower thing is so awkward 🀰🏻... I would totes suggest a different time and place, like maybe just a small get-together with close friends and family πŸŽ‰. and if they're still uncomfortable, yeah, bring HR into it πŸ‘₯. don't wanna be that person who's all "oh, I'm so offended" but really you should just speak up for yourself πŸ’β€β™€οΈ.
 
πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I mean, can you even imagine how frustrating that must be for the student? Like, personal space is not too much to ask, right? πŸ™„ 76% of women reported feeling uncomfortable with men following them or trying to engage in conversations they didn't want. Anyway, setting clear boundaries and politely but firmly saying "no thanks" should do the trick. πŸ€—

And can we talk about workplace awkwardness for a sec? πŸ“Š According to Glassdoor, 64% of employees reported feeling uncomfortable with their coworkers' personal news or family updates at work. So yeah, even if it's just a baby shower invite from someone in charge, it's still super weird. Like, why not keep the work and personal life separate, you know? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
so like this guy following his classmate to her car just because he's got an opinion on bras...
