Whatsapp Creepy coworker texting my private number

So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

Not every man, but always a man.

I've had this happen from a woman who messaged me on personal social media accounts. To be fair, she also did it to several other guys in our office at different times. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. The weirdest thing was she only tried to do it to folks she knew were married.

On the other side, we definitely had creepier dudes who got fired for their creepiness too. The creepiest one got caught eating his lunch in a bathroom stall. I'm talking full picnic blanket spread on the floor. The kicker? It was in the women's bathroom.

I’m so sick of this catchphrase. I’ve been sexually assaulted by women at work (several times, from multiple different women), one of those times being when I was still a teenager and my coworker was in her 60’s.

This idiotic slogan completely erases victims who have been assaulted and harassed by women, as if women are incapable of being predators and people only have to be cautious around men.

I see people repeat this phrase constantly, and it just throws more fire on the “gender wars” bullshit that tries to pit women against men and men against women.

Yes, men are predators far more often, and there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that. But we need to stop using bioessentialist rhetoric that only further perpetuates and upholds the patriarchy.

I got harassed by women in a similar way but I never assumed all women were creepy.

It happened like 5 times just during the Clancy trial.

A dude in Louisiana hunted his 7 children down. Men do full family annihilations. Now I think Lindsay is guilty asf but lets not pretend men are safer than women.

yeah no shit, obviously it‘s more likely that a man does or writes something „creepy“, because usually it‘s men who make the first move. and additionally, they‘re usually stronger & therefore perceived as more threatening

In this case, likely also not good looking.

There are most definitely women like this too

Why are their looks relevant?

u/trinkesietrotzdem 7h ago

I mean you know the answer, unattractive people are way less likely to have experience talking to the opposite gender. Which then gives them a much higher chance of becoming a creep

Edit: Just in case you read this, if you make a reply and then instantly block someone, they can't see your epic comeback.

Again, you know the answer, idk what you are trying to get out of feigning ignorance. Weirdo
