There are just some things that should never be uttered out loud; heck, even thinking them is bad karma. Passing comments on any stranger's physical traits is one of these things that should never be done, especially if that person is someone who you have a professional relationship with… and ESPECIALLY if those comments have a sexual connotation. If you somehow manage to make all these mistakes at once, you're practically begging for a conversation with HR followed by a swift escort from the building.
This really should all go without saying; it's not even a conversation we should still need to have.
Reddit user u/Oaks20173 was faced with such a comment when her coworker claimed (to her face) that she had received a promotion because of her breast size. She responded with a quick retort that most of us would only think about in the shower hours later, "And the reason you got a demotion was because of your brain size!!!" she reports saying.
The coworker couldn't hack it and has been sulking ever since. Commenters in the thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A**hole) subreddit earlier this week, are encouraging the poster to take the issue to HR before she loses the chance.
