I'd tell her that you feeln that way, but try to be a little more diplomatic about it. If she continues, you'd be more justified since you've given her a warning. That, and the case would hold more water. Also try to do so in front of co-workers so that they can back you up.
On a slightly more upbeat note, she might just be trying to make you feel welcome in a new work environment. She should choose a better way if that's the case though.

Because you're better than that. Because you're mature enough (I hope) to solve your problems yourself without needing to run to "daddy."Brawndo said:
I used to work as a bartender. We usually had an October-fest celebration every year, which meant I had to run around and serve alcohol in tight, revealing knicker-boxers (Very short shorts). I got pinched in the ass at least three times every work-night by drunk, 40+ women.Mechsoap said:
Trust me, It gets old. Even if they were 20-year old women, I'd be pissed.
Yes, this whole "being the bigger person" is so tiresome and immature.GreatTeacherCAW said:
Wait, what?
As a female in the construction industry, I've managed to find a fool-proof method of avoiding sexual harassment.
I'm overweight and unattractive.
OT: Just talk to her first. Maybe she doesn't realize she's being a creeper.
Sometimes people don't think. I had an instructor who made a pretty awful joke once, and I just said, half-jokingly, "everyone gets one off color comment per semester. Yours is now gone, and I now have the right to make retaliatory "yo mamma" jokes"
It worked.

No, but how about having an actual conversation with them first? How does that hurt your cause? THAT's begin the bigger person. Overreacting and screaming "But they do it all the time!" is not.GreatTeacherCAW said:
Not saying he should "sit on his ass", saying he should be a mature, reasonable individual.
Tell her to stop first. And have someone around when you do it. Not necessarily right beside you, but just let a buddy know and have them just kinda in the back ground, maybe chat up a conversatoin so they can be placed there and it can be true.
Then, if she doesnt stop, go to a superior, and if she tries to say you didnt, you have witnesses. Though the first step is definitely tell her to stop.

If I remember my "training" prior to starting my job correctly, you first have to tell her to stop, then go to her/your supervisor, then possibly consider filing a claim. Failure to follow these steps will result in your claim being dismissed, and you may very well lose your job over it.
"They are entirely interested in your appearance rather than your personality"? How would they see your personality when they are pinching or ass, or like in the case of the OP?RAKtheUndead said:
If women are solely interested in you for your appearance, have you really had that little sexual attention?
Still, no matter how much or little you have had, I said "it gets old", and trust me, it will. You might like it at first, but after the third work-night, you probably won't.
