Hormonal overreaction, or is this guy a jerk?
So I'm sitting at my desk and a guy that started here about a month ago is standing in my quad talking to a coworker. I'm not very chummy with this guy at all. I wasn't even involved with their conversation and all of a sudden he says very creepily, "Patti, I'll pay to watch you eat that banana." I was shocked. He's made a few other comments about watching me eat a banana - which I do everyday with innuendos but nothing as blatant and wierd as this.
I think this is totally inappropriate in an office and think I should let him know it bothered me and to put a stop to it. I don't feel right involving a manager or HR until this guy knows it's bothering me.
Am I overreacting?

The guy is a jerk and I wouldn't worry about talking to him first . . . go straight to HR or a manager.

I don't think you were having a hormonal reaction at all!!!! If I were you I would report him. How dare him say that ..and he's new???
He's lucky he didn't get punched in the mouth.

Re: Hormonal overreaction, or is this guy a jerk?
nope your not overreacting at all. That guy is more than a jerk!!! If he has said comments to you in the past I may just bring it up to my manager or HR . That should not happen in the workplace let alone be said to a preg woman whose hormones are off anyway.
maybe you should make a list with the dates and times of what he says to you and if it progresses than go to manager

Re: Hormonal overreaction, or is this guy a jerk?
Totally not over-reacting....I'd definitely say something.
Also like the above poster said, start keeping notes/times/dates of his "inappropriate" sayings to you.

Re: Hormonal overreaction, or is this guy a jerk?
The comments have nothing to do with pregnancy and hormones.
This is a totall sexual harrassment comment. Straight out of the book.
I would tell
1/ his comment is totally inappropriate and unprofessional
2/ you will have to report him

Very inappropriate. If he says stuff like that all the time it will eventually catch up with him.

Agree 100%, not right, completely wrong. I would just tell someone and skip right over him all together.
