This new man that I was complaining about...

Calls me "Dear" and pats me on the arm.

Ask me how much I want to smack him!!!

End of rant. :)

Like I said, maybe it's just who he is and no evil undercurrent or intent is at work here.

Others who replied to your comment certainly wanted to imply sexual harrassment,

That's entirely possible. He's an equal opportunity rude person...rude to men and women alike. So, you could be right. It could just be who he is.

I honestly don't know the details of the law...though they tell us we're going to have a workshop on it soon. I'm not going to scream sexual harrassment. I just try to treat others with respect and would like to get it in return.

I don't know the details of the law either, but I did some googling for you. Perhaps these links will help.

And this one was a PDF file, but I hate PDF files, so here's the HTML
click because the link is long (http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:D-1lyYxFUgkJ:www.ucop.edu/ucophome/coordrev/policy/PP121404policy.pdf+sexual+harassment+laws+in+california&hl=en&client=firefox-a)

When I worked at Wendy's several years ago, there was a guy who had his select "girls". I don't know if he realized he was doing it or not. He used to stand too close to us all the time, say things in Spanish to some of the other guys while giving us the eye... Once I was looking out the drive-through window at night and he leaned on my back and held me out there so I couldn't move, even after I asked him to stop. Once he picked me up and carried me to the breakroom. I bit him and he promptly put me down. The next day he told everyone I'd given him a hicky.

Shortly after that, when I realized one of the other girls was going through similar things, I talked to the manager. I told him I didn't know if the guy was just doing this because he didn't know better, or if he thought he was being suave, or what, but he made me--and the other girl--very uncomfortable. He didn't have a job after that.

IF--IF!!! Time goes by and you feel this guy is actually being creepy to you and the other ladies, I'd at least see if there is anything your boss could do. I know you don't want to cry wolf, but I'd rather you be safe.
