[Closed] Arousal at work

looking forward to using the line "you give me a visual disturbance" some time.

It's not a problem in engineering.

Brilliant.
I must admit, not had any 'visual disturbances' at work.

Is that Visual disturbance in your pocket, or are you...etc etc

Visual disturbance?

Did he poke himself in the eye with it?

I always associate 'visual disturbance' with the onset of an epileptic fit, so that one probably needs some clarification. Could be both, I guess, if enough blood has been diverted.

In a previous place of work the Disabled toilet on the 3rd floor was rumoured to have been used for activities other than those intended.

How do you subconsciously transmit your fantasies?

Luckily I spend most of my day driving around so a bit of convoy cock goes unnoticed!

However if women are deliberately dressing and acting trampy to distract men, lowering their productivity so the women look better for a pay rise/promotion! That is just out of order!

It was unclear as to whether the person writing in was actually male of female, and I was trying to conceive of a "visual disturbance" if the latter. My mind is really quite filthy sometimes....

Best idea is to give em one. Get it over and done with.

Quite a lot of 'visually disturbing' people at my work.
I don't know what they are thinking when they leave the house,honestly . 🙂

Perhaps your fantasies are being subconsciously transmitted to your workmates

I can confirm that as yet none of my colleagues have dropped dead ; I will keep trying.

the only times its happened to me is years ago a new young trainee kept flashing her knickers at me, her desk had no modesty panel and I sat opposite. Being an upstanding gentleman (cough) I discreetly said I could see things she didn't want me to see, she smiled and next day there were no knickers. As a married man, I ran a mile.

Second time was more recently when I did a building induction with two others, one being a not unpleasant lady joining a different team, a month later we were swapping emails and she asked me to meet in one of the basement rooms, always empty, once there she proceeded to drop her troosers and asked me to do the same - the bare faced cheek of it.

Both were complete loons.

I'm guessing Land Rover chassis stripped down covered in nothing but waxoil......

So that's how you subconsciously transmit a fantasy to your colleagues? Tempting as it is to tell a female colleague that 'I'm terribly sorry, but I can see your knickers', I fear it would get me the sack for sexual harassment.

That story is BS , dear Dierdre had more believable scenarios

hahaha......(sighs)....nothing visually disturbing here!

Working from home does somewhat reduce the variation in visual disturbances.

I've had to stop reading the comments on that story - suffering a visual disturbance of streaming tears.

A problem or a perk?

The head of computing normally left his door swinging open, sometimes ajar when he was busy but happy to be interrupted. Now and then when he was working with one of his more decorative colleagues he used to shut the door. I don't think anyone ever knocked on finding it locked.

[i]The head of computing [/i]

Always a magnet for the ladies in my experience.

Years ago i was working late, and when I'd finished whatever the work was, I thought I'd just drop it on my boss' desk for him to see first thing in the morning. I thought no-one was in the office, so just barged in...To be confronted by his hairy arse jabbing back and forth between the legs of Sam the receptionist.

I paused for a moment surveying what I know now to be a visual disturbance, apologised and retreated.

Poor girl was mortified 🙁

how cheerful of you wopster.
Cant beat a good dose of misandry to lighten up a thread...

Set boundaries by letting them know that you have a girlfriend, perhaps inviting her to lunch so [s]they can meet her[/s] you can have a threesome.

You know I've never come across the word 'misandry' before. I had to look it up. And I thought I was relatively well eductated.

Having an office in a business park there are a number of visually pleasing women and usually get a polite hello in the corridor, however the accountants office down the corridor who often take parcels for me has one very friendly young lady who always insists on stopping for a chat, now she could be just a friendly outgoing person or me being absolutely clueless not picking up on her actually flirting, so to be on the safe side I shall remain blissfully unaware and carry on being awkward around her especially in the tight confines of the shared offices kitchen.

Pamela Stephensons answers are always rubbish, at least the ones I have read, wonder how much she gets paid? Molly Ringwold gives really sensible advice that makes Pamelas weird perspectives look an total embarrassment in comparison.

It does not even seem to occur to Stephenson that the lab coat wearer might be used to seeing men as merely colleagues ie pretty much sexless/just another human, so commenting on the working conditions/dress in the lab might have meant no more to her than if she had made the same comment to a woman colleague. I dont get why she only takes the line that the woman is flirting, its such a narrow point of view esp from a 'therapist'. The bloke sounds like an egotist, if he is a real person at all.

Whoppit where do you find this nonsense?

Years ago when I was a deskside IT tech (you know the guys with the comedy ties) working on a large site of around 2,000 users, there was one particular office that was populated by aabout a dozen what would be called 'cougars' these days. They were all rather dirty/flirty. Quite good a good laugh if you were confident with them. Or quite imtimidating to the unsuspecting fresh young meat we used to send their way 😉

A girl telling you she is wearing nowt but her knickers and bra is NOT merely commenting on her lack of laundry scheduling skills.

OK?

Ah yes, the one single benefit of working in IT support. Apart from free floppy drives, maybe.

Inappropriate behaviour, eh? AND I'm at work. 😆

Some quality work in the comments section.
Waits for what happens when mumsnet gets that link....

Next time I forget to pack my pants for the cycle commute and am forced to go commando I'll be sure to tell all my female colleagues about it. Just for information of course. I'm sure they'll all understand and not think it odd in the slightest.

I've told male colleagues that before. I wonder if they thought I was coming on to them...

Or it will all end in tears.

This would definitely have been better as a 'Dear Diedre' style photo strip!

When I was 17 I had a summer job in the civil service department that employed The Suns "Sam Fox Lookalike of the Year". I have absolutely no recollection what the actual work involved.

Wtf - what sort of tripe is the Graundian printing?!

When I started out in my photographic carreer I assisted on a photoshoot for the relaunch of penthouse in the U.K.
Let's just say I have seen more of ex-page 3 girl Rachael Garley than I was ready for at such a tender age. I also have never seen so much coke in a paper bag.
Plenty of flesh visible on jobs since then and like life drawing you get used to it quite quickly but none since have left as much of an impression

Girl at work freely admitted she used to rub one out in the toilet on a regular basis. Basically if it was quite or bored.

Never knew what to say or how to answer that so just 'oh. Ok then'.

Clickbait. They're hemorrhaging money, so are copying the success the Mail has had online by publishing things to outrage/amuse/offend. More page views equals more ad revenue.

The column was in the magazine at the weekend first, a regular feature on on sex advice etc. Then put up on the web later on. Not quite the same as what the Mail Online does.

Go on then, why are they nonsense?

Which newspaper makes money? I thought they exist only as mouthpieces.

I usually like what the graun has to say though 🙂

Telegraph, Mail, the Sun and the Mirror (i think) all make money.

Ten Rape Prevention Tips.

Whoppit where do you find this nonsense?

Go on then, why are they nonsense?

I suspect the people questioning Woppit haven't actually got that the 'rape prevention tips' are satirising the attitude that a woman should take precautions to prevent being raped, thus placing the onus on the victim rather than the perpetrator.

I thought it was quite witty.

I thought the guardians losses were a tax avoidance scam, like the sale of Autotrader

Got to say (and it feels odd saying it)...woppit's link is spot on!

Women have all too often been told how to avoid rape, or at least lessen their chances of being raped. Examples seem to focus around how they should dress (or not dress), how they should avoid certain situations with men and how consent can be often be implied/misinterpreted from their actions. But in actual fact, men just need to stop raping them.

That's the point that woppit's link is trying to make (I think). That despite all the well meaning help to change women's behaviour so that they're less likely to be raped, we're focusing on changing the wrong sex's behaviour.

A quick scoot over to read some of the comments on Facebook pages like LADBible etc (which is incredibly popular) will give you insight into a pretty obvious issue re how sex is viewed by some.

Obviously we work in similar environments.

I have the pleasure of working with a number of very attractive women, mostly full-time staff, but some are temps as well; so far I'm yet to suffer a 'visual disturbance', too damned busy most of the time.
Also pretty much all are in relationships and are too professional to be flirty.
If they weren't, and if they did, would I be tempted? Damn right! Several are absolutely gorgeous, one in particular is just the loveliest person going, she just lights up any room she walks into. Far too nice a person to be inappropriately flirty, tho'. 😀

I see plenty of attractive females in my job, never had a 'visual' disturbance 8)

One of my friends sees plenty of them though. She's a tall leggy blonde and works as a secondary school teacher. Every September when the new kids come up from the feeder schools she gets at least one who 'visually displays his excitement' in her class, the record is three in one day 😯

It's a troll for sure, I've managed to troll Pamela before.

Clickbait. They're hemorrhaging money...

That's true, but PSC's witless satire of the Turing Test has been on the web since the time when they were only making modest losses.

In what universe would a real person write to PSC about the fact that their party wall wasn't soundproofed? But she goes for it, and spews a paragraph of psycho-sexual gibberish. 😀

I worked for two months as a solderer in a factory when I was 17.
I was the only bloke in a room with about 30 women. There were hot women
of all ages. I had a great time there, the work was shit and the pay was
abysmal;-) It was like being let loose in a sweetie shop, anything that
happened at work stayed at work.

... as I wrote in my letter to Penthouse in 1983.

😉

dutch teabreak?

Yeah I'm a plumber. I was fixing a ladies ballcock one very hot summers day. It was hot and cramped so I took my shirt off. The Wifey brought me a cup of tea and her blouse inexplicably fell off as did all her other clothes. I rogered her senseless over the bidet for many hours (a couple of minutes), fixed the ballcock and got paid £50 for my 'services'. All in a plumbers days work (when there are no monster turds to beat to death).

Summer in London on a fine Summers evening- everyone slept with their windows open. A lady started shouting Im coming Im coming IM COMMMMMMMING

It woke me and the missus up of course.

Silence

Then applause and men laughing including me carried around the air.

I don't think I could ever tire of being woken by a lady enjoying life 😀

Bloke in shared house at Uni used to be vocal.

😯

Hmm I think our workplace has a policy against hiring anyone that might cause a visual disturbance 🙁

I imagine that was all the soldering irons. Someone should have really opened a window.

As an aside, I worked in a potato factory when I was 14. I would have rather had sex with the potatoes.

I imagine at 14 you actually had sex with any object that came to hand tbh.

I had a "visual disturbance" at work last week - it was absolutely filthy and I ended up very hot and sweaty.

Took ages to get this into the workshop:

When was this? If she was so nearby it would have still been prudent just to send a text?

PSC is taking the p*ss with this one. A warning system? What are you supposed to do, text them? Maybe just set a schedule?

In my third year I had a job as English Assistant at a Polytechnic in Huelva, near Seville. Half the students were Venezuelans and half of them were girls and half the girls were mind-numbingly beautiful. My problem was that the girls used to sit in the front row of the classroom with their legs apart and eveything on display, which was quite distracting when I was trying my best to teach them some English.

(I was actually employed by Opus Dei but that's another story... at least I didn't have to flog myself with birch twigs!)

fasthaggis - bizarre post. Thanks for sharing.
