But for men it is flattering if a woman makes inappropriate comments?

Right, thank you guys for all your advice and comments. I was just thinking about what you said that some of the girls do giggle when he tells his jokes. It was only afterwards that some of them would come up to me and said that the jokes were terrible.

  Whenever Mr. Smith tells his stupid jokes, I do what Lil Me said. I just walked away. I just don't like it when the joke is so crude and he thinks it's flirting. I get very uncomfortable when it's just me and him in the room so I have to make some excuse to vamoose out of there before he even opens his mouth.

  I've talked to some of the girls and they have mentioned that he's been told before to keep his comments to himself. Some of them even made excuses for him! "Oh, Mr. Smith is a bit crude but he's OK" etc. etc. etc. I just know that if I go up to my supervisor about this, I'm likely to make enemies as Mr. Smith have been here longer than me.

  At any rate, I will be more cautious about him and if he steps out of line, I will tell him directly what I think and hopefully he'll back off. I'm not the type that likes to confront people.

  Again, thanks for all your advice.

 That doesn't matter. If he is making inappropriate comments, which could be considered 'sexual', in a workplace, you could seriously screw him over pretty quick, end his career pretty fast. Don't live in fear of your company, they will cater to you, not him, and if they don't, you can make them pretty easily.

Don't have that fear over the sh*thead, make him fear you.

If you or your co-workers just sit back, try to ignore it, or giggle, then it will get worse before it gets better.  
When the End comes, don't worry if your party shoes are clean or not. Just make sure you have them on!

   At a pub, maybe? At a workplace, NO!

What if it is from a really ugly woman that looks like a man?
