Have you encountered trolls or pervs offline?

I did 411 directory assistance for just over a year.

I dubbed one guy Wild Bill, after the psycho in Silence of the Lambs. He has this dithering little voice and would always say the same things.

Operator: City and state, please
WB: Ehh.. How you doin..
Operator: City and state, please
WB: Ehhh.. I went shopping today..
Operator: City and state please or I will have to disconnect
WB: Ehh.. I got some lingerie today.. A pink nighty..
Operator: Operator disconnecting

Only the items he purchased would vary. Guy would call dozens of times in a row. Smh

I once thought a salesman was giving me some kind of creepy sex talk. He was talking about male & female connecting parts in a computer hardware shop. I was buying a new lead. I didn't realise they actually were called that. 😂

@DanielChristensen Not until I went into work and told my colleague about how this guy was giving me some weird geeky sex talk in the computer shop. 😳

@DanielChristensen Thanks for BA, not sure if I should be pleased or embarrassed 😆

When I worked for a mental health service a guy used to phone up and say aliens had kidnapped him, stripped him naked, tied him up in plastic bags, put a plastic bag over his head and were keeping him captive. I did used to wonder how he was making the call...it was mental health though. 🙂

I worked at this "junk mail" factory. Don't ask. lol. There was this one hispanic guy who for some reason was really into me. The way the place worked, there were usually teams of two on a machine. Somehow we kept getting put together. He would sing to me and keep checking that I was okay. With other people he would be mean. He'd run the machine and get them behind if he could. For me, he would randomly stop the machine to ensure I wasn't behind (even though I never was). I was 18. he was 36. He invited me to go to the strip clubs in NYC. Are you kidding me? To make it worse, my brother thought it was funny, so he egged it on. He didn't realize how bad it actually was until I told him, then my brother stopped egging it on. I eventually had to ask to not work with him. I was put on a machine with him after that, and threatened to just leave. lol. The guy was CrEEPy! The worst part was there were several hispanics there. They were all from El Salvador. Several of the guys would like me and talk about me. I have never been able to speak Spanish fluently... but... I was so thankful for the little I knew. I knew enough to know they were talking about me. So, I would tell them to knock it off. Scared them to death that I may have understood what they said. lol. There were a couple o f other incidents with a couple others from that group, but this guy Reuben who would sing to me was definitely the worst!

@Dewkissedrose Lots of guys like that here.

@DanielChristensen I had been pretty sheltered up until then... and at 18... yeah, not exactly what I wanted. *shudders*

@AnnMcNeil He was the weirdest and most persistent, but there were all kinds

@DanielChristensen some peoples kids lol
yes, when i was a telemarketer.. because of my voice, and the time of day some of the calls would take place, i'd get people who would sometimes get rolled back around to my "bucket" and they'd say things like "are you a phone sex worker? fuck you sound hot... i'll get you a plane ticket.. can i have your phone number?i'll fly you out here right fuckin now soundin like that girl" and this one guy, because i had placed the call originally, he would constantly only get through half the presentation, and say i needed to call him back, so it'd come back up in my next call bucket when i worked again just so he could talk to me


so damn many

@DancingStarGoddess Jeez. How long did you work there?
@DanielChristensen oh for quite a while lol, it was my first job that wasn't under the table, and i really liked the place, it was within walking distance of my foster home, and my schedule was perfect. i think i left just shortly before i left that home to return to the shelter. nearly a year's time i'd say?
SW-User
Yes quite a few times. When I was in my late teens I looked younger, had long hair, tanned skin from surfing, athletic body and didn't look particularly masculine, pretty naive and I guess you could say I was the emo of the early 90's and this seemed to attract the pedo's everywhere. If I had been hit on by girls as much as creepy old men I would have had a great time as a teen 😒
SW-User
@DanielChristensen Yes I can relate. I was very lucky that I learned without experiencing anything bad. Just being hit on and having them tell you what they want to do to you was enough to make me really think about where I went on my own. I had a couple of close calls but those experiences all made me think about how a lot of women must get treated too.
Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F
@SW-User Yikes!
SW-User
@Dewkissedrose I guess i survived without anything major happening so I'm very lucky... but when I hear stories from women about this kind of thing I can understand the fear and the uncomfortable feeling.

absolutely. the worst was this old guy at a place i worked from 19 to 22/23. his wife and granddaughter worked there too and he’d corner me and touch me up and say inappropriate stuff. an investigation ended up happening and he got fired. he denied it then admitted it all after his wife died of cancer
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@Pineapple Wow shit. Guess he felt remorseful after the loss
Pineapple · 100+, F
@DanielChristensen i saw him in town after the funeral and he said “i need to say sorry to you. *the wife* said to me before she died that i have to make it up to you for what i did”. so she knew it was true as well. his granddaughter is still a cunt in denial who bad mouths me 🙄
Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F
haha. That sounds.... fun?

I answered a pay phone at a mall once, and the person was a perv. I've also gotten random texts from weird people.
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@Dewkissedrose lol pervs have it much easier today
Oh yeah! In my line of work as a nurse, I get to see all the lovely people of the world.
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@AuroraDwen Damn. No doubt. My friend Maegan is an occupational therapist and she tells me some stories
Oh yeah I bet!

Yes I have had teachers who have been trolls.
DanielChristensen · 46-50, M
@MartinTheFirst Abusive to the students?

I took a college class where the professor was a perv. He was in a wheelchair and when he was over the shoulder of a female student explaining something he would smell her hair or caress it. I was like wtf internally
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@DanielChristensen i have had plenty of perv teachers but they were smooth about it. This one old dude was just plain and simply funny about it embracing his perv.

Yes abusive.
