OMG, horrible ickyness

[firelight1210]

I'm a loan officer and was doing a loan for an older "gentleman" today.  He asks me how I am with dumb jokes.  Thinking he meant silly jokes like knock knock jokes, I said I love them.  He asked this:

"What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes?"

.... I dunno.

"You shouldn't have to say anything, she's already been spoken to twice."



What. The. Fuck.

No. That's not a "dumb" joke. That's a horribly offensive one, and to tell that to a woman?  Again, what. the fuck.

Of course, I can't say anything really - I just basically said that's a bad joke, but he laughed it off. He went on to tell a racist one about a zebra.  I got his loan done as quickly as possible and got him out of my office.

What is wrong with people???

Someone I knew used to tell that one, except he took it an extra step over the line and said, "Nothing - you already told that bitch twice." ICK.

He told me to tell my husband that one.  Um, no thanks. GTFO my office, please.

I was once told the joke in the OP the response I gave was ::blank stare:: "domestic violence isn't funny."

To which he responded, "you're right, it's not funny.  It's HILARIOUS"

No motherfucker, me punching you the nuts right now would be hilarious though.

I'm sorry sir. Your loan has been DECLINED!

I bet it would've felt good to say that instead. Holy ick!

[pantaloons55]

Jesus... people blow me away.

[tictac]

What the actual fuck?

[bonquiqui]

Not funny at all. Ugh

[WOT?*]

Aren't bigoted, misogynistic old men adorable?

[bobotron3000]

A guy from a CHURCH I used to go to told that joke...multiple times...in front of his wife...at church. WTF

I would have loved that, but he was borrowing his own money.  

Ugh, I just feel so gross.. My coworker told me she's never seen him do that - he's usually extremely reserved and considerate.  Great, so I bring out the crazy in people. Wonderful.

So much what the fuck, so early in the morning. I just want to put my head down and give up.

[firelight1210]

Seriously Eagles. This happened at 7:30am here. He's lucky I had coffee in me.

It's the worst when you're in a work situation and you can't just say "Fuck off, you horrible old man."

What's really disgusting is that when somebody DOESN'T laugh at that joke, the reaction of the person telling it usually isn't "oh, maybe that really isn't funny after all" but "oh, that person must be one of those super-sensitive feminists with no sense of humor"

[sequins]

Ugh, gross. I'm sorry you had to start your day with that.

Or go on to tell another horrible one. "Hmm, maybe she doesn't like domestic violence jokes.  I know!  She's probably one who loves racist ones! I have the perfect one..."

And then you were all...

I'll bet he was in his early 70's. I had to work with a chucklefuck like that at the polls for both the primary and the general elections. He was an absolute idiot and most of us ignored him and didn't call him on his shit because of his age.

Close - 64.  I work at an "at work" branch, so he still works and everything.  However, in a largely male dominated field, so I don't think anyone really calls him on this shit.

I had a customer tell me a very sexist joke yesterday, and I looked him in the eye and said "I don't know you expect me to react. Your joke is inappropriate." I don't even care, customer or not - I don't have to listen to his garbage.

[firelight1210]

I wish I could do that. Unfortunately, I don't think my manager would be down with that.
