The 1970s called…

Today, the CEO of my company leaned over and said, "Hey, I've been meaning to thank you…" I thought he was going to thank me for all of my hard work, but he continued, "…for wearing that shirt today. I can totally see your boobs." FML

Today, my boss came over to my desk and struck up a casual conversation about movies. After a while, he sat on the edge of my desk, nodded toward my chest, and said in the same casual, lighthearted tone, "And nice cleavage today. Keep that up." FML

Today, I went to work and said hi to my boss. He reached towards me. I thought he was trying to give me a hug, so I awkwardly hugged him back. Turned out he was just trying to fix my shirt collar. FML

Today, I was the first one to wear the ugly corporate shirts we received. The people in my office-all of them guys were all saying that it looked a lot better than they thought it would. Later that day I went to the toilet and saw the shirt gapes open in front and you could see my boobs. FML

Today, was my first day at a new job. I was really pleased with how much positive attention I was getting in a mainly male office. Guess whose shirt was see-through. FML

Today, when I arrived at work, I was greeted by my gorgeous coworker telling me my red shirt looked awesome on me. Before I could compliment her, she added that the color was fitting perfectly with my acne. I heard a couple of giggles around me. FML

Today, I was at work when a cute guy came up to me and said he liked my shirt. In a desperate attempt to say something back, I said, "Thanks, I like your shoelaces." FML

Today, I came to work ready to impress my boss. A couple of weeks ago I asked him for a promotion from stock to sales and I have been proving myself worthy. Turns out he hired a new girl for sales, with great, big, fake breasts. FML

Today, during my shift at a restaurant, my boss's daughter came in. I couldn't help but notice that she was almost popping out of her low-cut top. After having a private chat with her, my boss took me aside and said, "My daughter's got eyes you know, not just a pair of tits". FML

Today, at work at a car dealership, a seemingly overzealous customer shook my hand vigorously after we finalized a deal. I didn't think anything of it until a coworker pointed out that he was just trying to make my breasts jiggle. I'm a man. FML

You should reply "I can totally see you getting fired"

Here's an idea. Instead of whining about it and going straight for sexual harassment how about telling him the comment made you feel uncomfortable and then dressing more appropriately for work. This culture of sue, sue, sue is a joke. People treading on egg shells because of pathetic people who can't deal with one stupid comment. GTFOI.

Need to report him to HR, and also consider wearing something that isn't a douchebag tractor beam.

72, saying the choices are "harass" or "say nothing" sets a false dichotomy. Those are not the only options. If her CEO thought she was just workplace inappropriate, he could've quietly taken her aside and said something PROFESSIONAL and NEUTRAL to the effect of "Ma'am, that shirt is not workplace-appropriate, make sure to bring more-suitable attire from now on." Hell, we have no idea what she was actually wearing! For all we know, it could've been appropriate, just showed the outline of her breasts because she has ******* breasts, and he took that as an excuse to say inappropriate things that made his female employee uncomfortable. Also, it goes without saying, but harassment isn't a ******* compliment.
