Today, I was cleaning at work when an elderly gentleman walked towards me, paused, and with a wink said, "That's what I like to see: a girl on her knees." This is the same workplace where another old man informed me that my yellow uniform made me look like a "suggestive cheesecake." FML

Today, at work, the janitor would not stop telling me how good I looked. This was after he told me he was fired for sexual harassment at his last job. He clearly learned that lesson. FML

Today, as I was bent over at my waitressing job an elderly woman walked by and smacked my ass. I looked at her, shocked, and she said, "It was too tempting with you bent over like that, I have a dirty old mind." I didn't know whether to be flattered or horrified. Maybe both. FML

Today, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML

Today, out of habit, I said "See you later" to a creepy old male customer who stared at my chest the whole time I was serving him. His response was to wink and say, "Oh, you will." FML

Today, at work at a grocery store an old couple came through my checkout lane. As I was putting their bagged groceries in the cart, the old man started feeling me up. FML

Today, I was ringing an elderly gentleman up at work. As I went to package up the buns he ordered, he held up a hand and told me to wait. He then looked me in the eyes, started squeezing them, then winked and told me to go ahead. I've never felt so violated. FML

Today, an elderly gentleman customer decided to tell me that while I'm not attractive at all, he'd still bang me all the same. Then he gave me a pained smile, like he was struggling not to shit himself, and left. I'm starting to hate working retail. FML

Today, at work, an old lady was staring at my crotch a lot. I looked down, thinking maybe I had an open fly. I didn't. FML

Today, I was at my usual grocery store when an elderly lady smiled at me and said, "It's so nice to see a young person not obsessed with their appearance." I was dressed in sweats, I hadn't showered, and hadn't brushed my hair. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. FML

Yet another FML that proves old people aren't so innocent.

Yeah, down on your knees is nice . . . but on the other hand, if you have to reach a low spot, turn around and bend over at the waist. Your tips will go through the roof! Whatever you do, don't squat -- that's just ugly.

Yellow uniform, inapropriate comments from old men... are you sure you aren't starring in an episode of 2 Broke Girls?

I would talk to your manager about whats been going on, maybe they'll let you be more behind a counter like a cashier etc. try to truly take a more authoritative stance maybe they'll back off too.....

Hostile work environment. You should never have to put up with this shit. Document the incidents with your manager, HR. Ask them to help. If they won't, and if Australian law covers this, contact that government agency. Good luck finding your new job soon, OP.

On one hand, I am very sure these comments can be annoying. I was an attractive young lady once too. On the other hand... enjoy the fact that you are an attractive young lady, it does not last forever.
