This morning, while avoiding work, I was looking up people to add to my RL Linkedin account. I tracked down an old coworker named Roy who has since moved to Seattle and is now working for Microsoft. We worked together on the same team for around 6 months, but I’ll always remember him for something that happened a while back.
Back sometime in 2001, I’m in the break room talking to Roy for a few minutes. In the meantime, some woman, who is at least 6 ft tall with long arms, walks into the break room to get some ice from the ice machine. My back is facing the ice machine so I only notice her out of the corner of my eye. As the woman is slowly lifting the front cover of the ice machine, I’m exactly positioned so that one corner of the lid slowly touches my butt. It had felt as if the woman had reached over (she had long arms) and gently grabbed my ass. I’m sure the look on my face was priceless; however, Roy didn’t so much as change his facial expression the whole time he was talking to me. I have long since admired his ability to keep such a straight face.
I hope you all enjoyed this amusing little tale. And yeah, there was sexual harassment training for everyone a few months before this happened.
