In the workplace, it can be difficult to deal with unwanted attention, often for fear that people won't believe you or that it will negatively impact your career.
Those are just some of the reasons why so many people do not report sexual harassment or assault, both inside and outside of the workplace.
However, a woman on Reddit recently shared her story of how she was able to get her revenge, and ultimately, got her toxic coworker fired.
He'd brush the side of her butt, or graze her breasts. It would happen frequently, but he'd play it off "innocently," never making eye contact, making it difficult for her to prove anything happened.
Why anyone thinks this behavior is okay is beyond me. I feel for her concern about going to her boss about the issue.
Instead of going to her boss, she decided to take matters into her own hands by coming up with a plan that only a true genius could ever come up with.
She let out a loud fart, right where his hand lay next to her butt.
Her goal was to change the way her looked at her butt. No longer was it a sexualized part of her body, but rather a "fart box" that had now claimed his hand.
I can't imagine this is going to end well for the male employee. The scene they made had to have been incredibly disruptive.
He invited the two of them in to discuss the situation.
His only defense was that the woman had intentionally farted on him.
The coworker argued that his butt pinching was "just a joke." But that was all their boss needed to hear for him to send the coworker on his way.
It's important to discuss the issues surrounding entitlement and gender disparity, especially in the workplace.
TBH, if a fart could solve all the sexual harassment issues in the world, I'd be doing it a lot more frequently.
Even magical places like Disney are not safe from sexual harassment, and I can only imagine how it would have been back in the day.
This story literally gives a new meaning to "booby trap."
And I honestly could not agree more.
