Re: What is creepy?

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.)
