Weird comment-how would you have taken it?

I was talking to a female coworker about the gym last night. We were ina deep conversation about the class i took since she was interested in the same one. Male coworker walking by us says to me: I am surprised you are hitting the gym, I think you are curvy in all the right areas.

Ummm-I was at a loss for words and he just kept walking.

Weird and a little creepy, or am i analyzing too much?

Def weird. Is he hot?

There's a guy here who always does things like that, tries to join other people's conversations or eavesdrop. He gives me the creeps.

It's meant as a compliment - he's telling you that you don't need to work out.

Have you recently been eating popsicles, lollipops, or bananas?
Otheriwse, it's uncalled for, and you should probably freeze a can of shaving cream, cut the bottom off, and put it in his drawer.
Or his drwaers. I guess it depends on whether or not you like it. Dirty girl.

I guess it could be taken either way. However he does not see me naked so he doesn't know how desperatly I do need to work out.

word.

I would have smiled and done a few spins...and then made it a point to walk by him for esteem boosting comments every day

seriously Beanie, I don't think he meant to weird you out, but if you were uncomfy, slap him next time.

I love Naunie. She is my rock. She is the rock that tumbles down the steep hillside and knocks all of the other rocks down too. I am bowled over.

To me it sounds like a compliment, but something similar happened at my friend's job and the girl felt sexually harrassed and brought it to HR's attention.

Ewww, gross!! I wouldn't want to hear that from any of my co-workers (except Kevin, of course!). I would be skeeved out too.

I think he meant it as a compliment but 1) he shouldn't be butting into your convo and 2) it's just not an appropriate comment at the workplace.

wheter it was a compliment or not - mind your p's & q's there buddy!!

seriously - i would just document waht he did - incase his compliments become a habitual problem.

He meant it as a compliment but it is not really appropriate.

For me, I could let it slide depending on my relationship with that person and how I thought they wanted me to take it. I have a friend who would be at HR in a second.

Weird but I am sure she was just complimenting you and it came out wrong!
