Today, while working as a hostess, one of my tattoos on my leg was showing. It's not uncommon for guests to comment on tattoos as we're high end and I'm one of two staff members with visible tattoos. What is uncommon is an elderly lady hiking up my skirt for a better view. I flashed everyone. FML

Devlynfly tells us more.

OP here! Thanks for all the comments and concerns. To make this shorter I've already answered specific questions directly. She was a really nice lady and thought my hand tattoos (flowers,) were nice and just wanted to see the rest of the hidden one she noticed. After she realized just how far up my leg it went, and how high my skirt had been pulled she did back away. I could be mad at her but really I just see it as a funny story to tell, no harm was meant and she meant it as a compliment in her own way. She did tip me, and it helped my business at least since other customers felt bad for me and over tipped me. ;) Keep the jokes coming, I think they're all great!

What a bitch! Why would she do that in front of everyone without asking you first?

Yeah that's not okay. That being said old people give no *****. Sorry for the awkward situation OP.

Call me up, OP. We'll sue her and get a nice vacation out of our efforts.

What was the tattoo? She was so curious to know, not that she was correct.

A water colored harpy with artistic nudity in it. The shirt covered everything but the legs (I actually have the longest skirt, purposely to try and cover it,) but that was enough to get her attention!

Well, I'm glad you didn't retaliate by looking under her clothes. It's distasteful. But the tattoo sounds lovely and you tried to conceal it professionally.

Well... she wanted to appreciate it in its full glory. But at the same time that was very rude.

That's probably not good for business... or is it?

If you're high-end, you should know there should always be show with dinner.

Should of had her arrested for sexual assault

That's fairly extreme for someone who seems to be on the quirky end of stupid

how about sexual harrasment? and not arrested, but fined.

They could have felt bad for you... Or they liked it.

Ahhhh customers are so inappropriate sometimes lol. When I worked as a hostess at a restaurant, I had hair down to my hips and I have a couple of tattoos. You have no idea how many creepy men thought it was ok to play with my hair. I've actually had a lot of customers comment on my tattoos because it was also a high-end restaurant, but usually they were nice or silly. Once a customer tried to pull up my sleeve to see my wrist tattoo, but that's not near as awkward as your story OP haha. At least it just seems like she was curious and not creepy.

When I was working and 8 months pregnant a customer at the retail store I was working at told me she could tell the sex of the baby by the shape of my stomach and then proceeded to grab my shirt and lift it up to my neck for a better look.
