I was at work the other day and this creep came up to me while i was pricing clothes for the boxing day sale. He knew me back from when I used to volunteer at the local food bank. He came up to me and demanded I give him my phone number. He got angry because I wouldnt, and then said in a mean voice "just put your little pen in your little hand and write your number down on your piece of paper and give it to me". The nerve!! I tried not to get angry and told him how busy I was. He finally left.
So my question was is this sexual harrassment?

Anyway if itn was sexual harrasment he would of grabbed you or "touched" you or something so im pretty sure its not !!
ps-if it occurs again you should report it to the police ir something !!

He was just being a huge huge asshole. But even though he didn't do anything illegal, doesn't mean you shouldn't do something about it. If he ever tries to do it again, tell your manager about it so then if he ever DOES come in again, he may be asked to leave you alone, or leave the store. I hope I helped.

But you can notify the manager if he comes in again and pulls this shit. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]

Let your manager at the place you work at know that he is bothering you.. If he comes in again and starts to ask you again, threaten to call the cops. If he doesn't leave, or is even more persistant then call the cops. He probably will be charged with harrassment and could be fined or thrown in jail. If you wanted, you could even file a restraining order against him. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]

You should talk to the person in charge where you work and inform them of the situation as soon as possible. They might ban him from the store, or at least let him know that he is not welcome.
If he comes back with a similar attitude, you might have grounds for a restraining order. If he approaches you, just walk away from him and head towards either security or someone in charge. He'll probably go away, and if he doesn't, you'll at least have someone to witness the behavior. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]
