With all of the emphasis put on sexual harassment in the workplace, what do you think about complimenting the opposite sex at work?
 Beth Snyder

I wouldn’t feel completely comfortable complimenting someone unless they were my friend... because it does put off an air of interest, even if that’s not what is meant. I would feel awkward about it — it wouldn’t fit with my personality.

A compliment can be along the lines of sexual harassment if it’s not about work. Generally, if I compliment someone it’s on how they do their job. To talk about what someone is wearing, I think it’s unnecessary and doesn’t help promote the workplace very well. ...It can eventually create drama. ...I’m against it.

You can call me girl, chick, princess or even hot tits, just as long as you’re tipping, it’s OK with me. (We swear, that’s what she said. Although it was a response to another question, we found it relevant here. And with a sense of humor like that, yes, we tipped her well.)

I don’t think there’s a problem with it, I even complimented someone on his jeans today and he was fine with it. In today’s society it’s accepted more than in the past. People in general and women in general are more comfortable with it. I’ll even compliment male customers.

I do that everyday, not to every person, but I do it. I think everyone likes a compliment, it’s uplifting, as long as it’s with respect for the person.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
