Okay almost a month since i started workin as a lame ass engineer in a lame ass country and my social life raised from 1 to 9. At work 90% of the people I deal with are married men. And Goodness Gracious the jokes they all talk about at work... My mind became the gutter in an instant as they discuss about sexual activities and making jokes about it...
Well I am an open-minded person i dont really mind laughing along at these jokes. In fact I admit I sometimes add in some spice for the giggles to break into thunderous laughter but one thought came up to my mind. Is it really appropriate for 30+ married men to crack jokes about sex to single girls at the age between 20-26? I don't know maybe i'm thinking too much about this, but yeah... The jokes can get a little bit too much to the point where I'm sometimes lost for responses. (and sometimes, too embarassed to respond) And at these points, I began to wonder if these things should even be brought up into the office scenario.
Honestly without these joke cracking session, work will not be as fun as it obviously isn't. But what exactly do men have in mind when they mention these things? Yeah, they say it's harmful. They say it's just words, nothing personal or physical. But I know these are the same people who committed adultry (sp?), and some were even cheating on their wives with girls who work in the office. So they might say the jokes are "innocent" but it still has the probability of turning into something serious and heavy.
I guess sometimes they have to know when to stop. When the jokes start to get a little bit off limits like going way into details and i feel uncomfortable sucking on a lolipop with eyes staring and mouth drooling, someone has to step on the brakes. Yeah, I agree we all need a few breaks now and then. I'm just saying there should be a certain range of sexual jokes and gestures that are allowed to be spoken off. The rest, they should just keep between them and their spouses.
