Would a man have to worry about this kind of thing happening when getting a Tesco delivery? Of course not.
Will this woman willingly open her door to a delivery driver again? Probably not, at least for a while. Just another life-limiting experience to add to the list.
Men often complain that women can’t take a ‘compliment’, but that’s because women can easily spot the “I would” subtext which instantly turns a remark from something potentially flattering into something off-putting. Men think they’re being subtle but it’s loud and clear (and makes you want to shower with bleach, quite frankly).
And then there are those men who think actually saying “I would” as crudely as they can is a compliment… case in point above.
Tesco’s gutless response disgusts me too:
Sofia said: ‘Tesco need to do something about it. This is a huge breach of customer privacy, but because it’s an agency driver, they’re saying it’s not their fault.
‘From what I’ve been told, they have dismissed him but he hasn’t been struck off by his agency. It’s like people won’t take responsibility for bad things that happen.
‘Tesco needs to accept responsibility. I have been a customer for five years now getting home deliveries, but they won’t even apologise.’
Agency or not, he is the face of the company from the customer’s POV. Plus, he now has all her details! This is terrifying.
He could now stalk her for years and she’d have to move and change her number to escape him – potentially another life-limiting experience.
But nobody takes stalking seriously (certainly not the police).
All the men in the comments who think sexual harassment is either the woman’s fault – if she’s fit – or no big deal – if she isn’t – terrify me too:
“only bit of banter, shes quite fit anyway”
“Two sides to every story. Maybe she led him on?”
“Creepy experience but the girl is not good looking at all. I feel sorry for the girl but On another note she is now seeking attention by having her pictures published.”
“Men have always been interested in woman, if your not interested send a text saying so or block the number instead of looking for publicity and maybe costing this guy his job. Your damned if you do, your damned if you dont.”
“Dont ask you dont get”
“These delivery drivers work really hard and I reckon she was probably off hand with him.”
“probably led him on to do it so she could get a bit of air time LOL”
“Poor chap, loosing his job! “
What the fuck. HE SENT A MESSAGE TO A COMPLETE STRANGER TELLING HER HE WANTS HER TO SUCK HIS COCK! HELLO?????? ANYBODY HERE????
And men wonder why women can be short with them when they get accosted in public.
Well, does this kind of thing happen to men? Does this?
