So today, one of my colleagues had a meeting with a gentleman that she met a networking event. She brought him into my office to meet me, so I came out from behind my desk, stretched out my hand to shake his and his eyes go straight to my chest! So I give his hand a firmer squeeze to kind of say 'my eyes are a few inches further north a$$hole', so he makes eye contact for a brief moment and then begins to stare again! I couldn't even tell you what he was saying I was just so beside myself. I know you're probably wondering what I was wearing. I was wearing a silk sleeveless, V-neck top (from NY & Co.) totally appropriate for the office and I don't have huge boobs (not that it would excuse him from starring).
I was telling DH when I came home and he said I should have said something....but what?? What should I have done? If I were in a bar or somewhere non-professional I'd call the guy a **** head and walk away.
I have NO boobs so I can't say I've been there but I would have *if I did ever have this problem* kind of bend at the knees so that my eyes meet his and do as you did, squeeze the hand harder.

Re: What would you have done in this situation?
I would have done exactly what you did - not said anything, but I would have been fuming inside.
I used to work in an office and the accountant would come in and talk to me, while staring at my legs as I sat at my desk....what an icky feeling

Ugh, I usually just kind of tilt my head and give them a 'what the hell are you doing?' kind of stare. I never can say anything.

My colleagues and I are all in HR, so I guess it would be a little easier for me to just tell her, 'your man there was VERY inappropriate. He needs to not come around this office anymore'
