Re: What is creepy?

Yeah, kinda. If it makes her uncomfortable and she tells you to stop, and you knowing it makes her uncomfortable keep it up? That's a creepy thing to do.

Re: What is creepy?

[(Anonymous)]

Well that's patently ridiculous.

"Sorry sir. You're going to have to stop taking notes because this person finds it creepy. From now on, just work on developing an eidetic memory."

Sorry sir. You're going to have to stop taking notes here because this person finds it creepy. From now on, just move somewhere away from this person who finds your behaviour creepy if you are unable to stop this behaviour.

Huh. almost like human courtesy isn't actually that hard, eh?

da but what in the world?

Anyone can certainly find any behavior creepy, but that doesn't mean other people are actually being creepy. Me existing or going about my normal business might creep out someone but it's not on me to change. After all, I'm a lesbian and lots of people find me kissing my girlfriend creepy, but I'm not going to just stop doing that because I make someone uncomfortable.

And if they need to be in the same area as the person who is being ridiculous by finding note-taking creepy? IE a work space or a school or honestly any public place?

"Sorry sir, can you just make sure that if this person comes into the room, you leave or commit everything to memory while they're there."

Some things bother people that they can't help, and to a degree, human courtesy should kick in if at all possible to minimize that discomfort. Sometimes people are bothered by things that unfortunately they will have to accept that they are going to be bothered by because there cannot be an expectation that the world stops doing that thing.

Well that's a ridiculous analogy. Bye, troll.

Re: What is creepy?

[(Anonymous)]

The example was note-taking... how am I being a troll for using it in an analogy?

And if something as innocuous as note-taking (in a workplace) makes someone feel uncomfortable, that's honestly on them, not the note-taker if their job is something that justifies the note-taking (or honestly, even if it doesn't, as some people just don't have good memories).

There's got to be a line drawn somewhere.

It's one thing to not tell racist/sexist/bigoted jokes in the presence of a sure-to-be-offended third party. But WRITING IN A NOTEBOOK? We still live in a society where that is generally not considered "creepy" behavior. It's not even rude behavior unless you're at a meeting that for some reason has banned the use of notebooks. And how do you know someone is writing in a notebook unless you're LOOKING RIGHT AT THEM? I mean, if you find something objectionable, don't you have SOME responsibility to not put yourself in a position where it might offend you? Racist joke, yeah, you can't help that, because Bob's a fucking asshole. Someone writing in a notebook? STOP LOOKING AT THEM and MYOB. Put on some earphones. Focus on your work. You're probably doing lousy work because of all the energy you spent being offended by someone writing in a notebook.

Look, even if the offended person has a bad memory tied to a creepy person who for some reason loooooved to write in notebooks, there is no way for the current notebook writer to know this, and therefore, it is not their problem. Offended person needs to get some therapy because it sounds like they're walking a dangerous line between getting offended and being the offender. Or do you think it's also acceptable to run around the workplace saying that people should stop working at their desks because desks remind you of "hard wood" and that's related to dicks so it's creepy. (Yes, that's a ridiculous example, but no more than "creepy" notebook writing.)
