On April 21, 2010, I was heading outside on a smoke break and this man who was behind me (also a delivery person to my building) says, “You have a sexy walk” I turned around and glared at him.
When I got outside I realized he was still following me and turned around. HE WAS STILL THERE and said, “Have a nice day, Sexy Walk”.
I was so angry, and scared. He was a big guy and I couldn’t say anything from fear.
I went inside feeling ashamed that I didn’t say anything and that i didn’t put him in his place. Fortunately, my coworkers made me feel better and said it is ok to be scared or shocked and that sometimes not saying anything is the better and safer option.

Did you get the name of Mr. “I’m gonna tell you you have a sexy walk”‘s company? If you did, you can call and report him. I’m sick of these clowns who don’t value their jobs and harass while on the clock.
