When I said I was sore from sitting down all day at my shitty office job and need a massage, why did you think that was a clever way of telling you I want a massage from you? If I said my car needs a tune up, would you go outside and lift the hood? Keep those creepy vibes to yourself. –Desk Jocky with a Bad Back

Next time be more specific. State you need your massage therapist.
Too many creeps think vague announcements are veiled invitations.
Alternatively, stop loudly complaining at work. Everyone has to be there and no one likes it. Everyone is sore from sitting all day. Everyone is sick of dealing with the shit they have to deal with. People who bitch and moan the whole day just make it that much worse for everyone else because now we have to listen to you whining, too. Go to your stupid message therapist and STFU. #WAGEGAPISREAL

Poor you. Sore all day from sitting down on that cruel, nasty ol’ office chair. Cue the fucking violins. Sue the fucking chair for duress. But when you bleat: ‘oh, my poor back, I need a massage – (giggle-giggle)’, expect a reaction from the creepy quarter. You asked for it, you got it.
Well yes if i did know how to do a tune up from your car i would offer if you said your car needed one….
There is NO way a straight guy wrote this!
One day one of my workmates complained of a very sore neck. I offered to massage it for her. She accepted the offer. It was such a relief that she was literally moaning. She even offered to marry me.
Hey blindstoned Plowboy FECK
You said you needed a massage, someone goes to help, and then you bitch. What a twit.
I desperately need a tropical vacation. Quick! Bro! Help!
Yes Oceanchick, that is a completely reasonable comparison.
I read this bitch differently than OC. OC thinks the chick in the stor offered a massage. But I think the chick in the story complained because she thought she was being asked to give a massage.
I think the bitcher was given an unwanted massage simply by stating they needed one. I need a new dental filling but I don’t expect my co-workers to produce a drill and mortar to help out just because I stated a need to have a tooth repaired.
So…if unwanted touching is sexual assault, and sexual assault is rape, then isn’t this rape? How dare you men question this poor survivor!!
Knowing the difference between assault and sexual assault is the distinction between trivializing rape and validity.
Knowing the difference between giving someone an unwanted massage and offering to pay for dental work/vacations/car repairs is the difference between a rational point and absurdity.
Knowing that my comment was mostly sarcasm, why bother wasting the time to correct me, OC? Women trivialize rape every time they lie or exaggerate, doesn’t seem to stop them. Just sayin…
I’m gay and an attractive coworker was going on and on about needing a massage, I suggested his girlfriend or a massage therapist, He seemed uninterested.This isn’t the first time this has happened to me either, Suggestive much? Does this person have the hots for you OP? Did you want an ego stroke? Get a grip
Uninvited touching of any kind is unwelcome.
FP: I don’t see any women on here lying or exaggerating about being raped, do you? So what is your point?
Those who lie or exaggerate do not “trivialize rape.” Those who lie -who are, btw, in minority- disrespect actual rape victims. They do not lessen the crime. That’s some pretty warped thinking dude. There is nothing trivial about being raped. Nor about lying about it.
