That awkward moment when..

So today she walked into my office and hiked up her skirt to her panties to show me bug bites on her leg.

Being the cool headed old guy I said you may want to put some medicine on those bites. In my head I was thinking WTF is wrong with this girl!!!!

Ha! I've been having issues with one woman for a long time now acting crazy. Another started not too long ago. She also has felt the need to show her bug bites way up there. As well as tell people we are together and sticking her tits in my face. Also constantly wanting me to watch her dance and shake her ass at me. This led to the girl that sits by me making comments of the same variety and she too likes to tell me to look while she dances around shaking her ass. I've made it clear I'm not interested but it doesn't seem to help much. I dunno wtf is wrong with women like them but damn something sure is!

So I feel ya man

Brazen would describe at least half of my office mates, myself included. We're professional when need be but super casual within our little group. I would think nothing of one of my co-workers raising her skirt to show me bug bites. Nothing is off limits for conversation. Our jokes and pranks are outrageous. That's just our dynamics.

when Facebook tells you it's your step-dads birthday so you write on his timeline "happy birthday". And later you remember his birthday is in September!

I feel like it is not my job to teach her "professional behavior".

You are right. It is not. That's what HR is for.

This would make me extremely uncomfortable. How are you dealing with the woman who is telling people that you are together? That makes me think she really is pretty kooky. Have you considered going to HR? Is the whole office very loose with their boundaries? I really couldn't deal with this everyday.

What she does is goes to people and says it so I can hear and I will say something like.... "I don't think so" or I throw in choice words also. Then she laughs. So she makes it look like playing but she does it alllllllll the time. You would think she wouldn't find it amusing anymore but I guess she does. There has been talks and they helped some. She is also a sort of supervisor. But she is always acting out like she craves attention from everyone. She picks with a bunch of people but i don't get why I am the only one that she acts like that with.

I'd say it's a mix of professional and "loose". HR recently fired a man for sexual harassment.

Icky to the absolute max.

It doesn't matter if it is a female, a male or a trans person either on the giving or receiving end; it feels sexually and behaviorally inappropriate and I would also feel very uncomfortable.

It is not workplace behavior!

Good grief!
