No, maturity and people with refined senses of humor win :)

I think having that phrase repeated to the extent of making a bot is idiotic, I think her solution is far more entertaining to read, and I am irritated by unalone's suggestion that "that's what she said" unequivocally objectifies women.

That's all of my feelings for this thread.

Ok: her colleagues disrespect her enough to ignore her request for them to stop doing something that makes her uncomfortable. Doesn't matter what the behaviour is, it should at least be addressed. Basic issue of respect for one's co-workers.

See you around. ",)
