Boss Sued for Giving Employee Vibrator as Birthday Gift



Fox News - A Queens woman told her boss to take this job and shove it when he gave her a vibrating dildo for her birthday after months of sexually suggestive comments and unwanted come-ons, according to a lawsuit. But when she opened up Ibrahim Mansi's birthday gift to her in October 2009 and found a sex toy, she had had enough. "Usually, I get a cake for my employees," Olveira, 34, said he told her. "When I opened it, I saw this thing. I was like, what is this? I didn't know what to do in that moment. I went outside and took the bag and threw it in the garbage. I called him and said, 'Don't do that anymore.' He said, 'Come on, girl. You don't know how to enjoy your life.' "

I always thought it was the thought that counts?
Clearly the humor of the situation escaped her. Yes, sexual harrassment in the workplace is reprehensible, woman are people too, yada yada yada. That said, this woman missed the perfect opportunity to play along and get revenge at the same time.  Instead of making it all awkward for everyone that just witnessed you open the gift, why not re-wrap it, send it back with a simple post it note: 
For the next time you decide to fuck yourself, it has 3 speeds for your pleasure
Signed,
You'll be hearing from my lawyer
But no, she played it the plane Jane way. Could have been a legend, now I'll probably just read about you 6 months from now during HR's sexual harassment policy re-certification.
