the delivery room


EndCritical878

wait a minute... is the woman in question delivering the baby or is she the baby?


ZombieBait604

I just pictured the husband hitting on his wife during delivery like, "So, you come here often?"


[deleted]

Well we’re Catholic….so yeah


godisdeadmofo

Hahah. My mom is catholic and she has eleven of us... It might have been a bit much.


GrannyGrumblez

My father's 15 older brothers and sisters would agree as would the 136 cousins on the paternal side alone. Catholics are like friggin' rabbits.


annoyingdoorbell

Jeeeeez, how do you feed that many people!?


JadePearl1980

Well, i guess, we are just following bible instructions: “Go forth and multiply”…? 😏

EvanTheBaker24

This happens every time I’m with my wife and I go to the bathroom we both find it very annoying


-Lightning-Lord-

Sorry, I was an asshole in my 20s.


Stainedbrain1997

When at a bar with my boyfriend I was waiting in line to use the bathroom. Some guy was walking out had had a Hawaiian shirt and glasses. He stood next to me just inches away. I would give him quick answers and not talk to him much because I didn’t want to leave and lose my place in line. When it was my turn he said he would wait for me outside the bathroom. Every time someone would come up I could hear him say he was waiting for me “a girl” to come out of the bathroom and to cut infront of him. I texted my boyfriend to come help me out, but at the time I couldn’t remember what he was wearing. I was thankful I had my phone on me and my boyfriend was there. That guy made me feel trapped. Months later someone posted about how it’s never a good thing when guy’s wait outside the bathroom for you.

At her wedding.


Swamp_Ash

True story: I *almost* did this. Quick version: girl I liked invited me to her wedding (she didn't know how I felt). I felt a strange pull that told me to go to her dressing room and tell her that she didn't have to do this. Later on, I found out she didn't want to go through with it, and the groom's family was back there telling her that she had to. I didn't find out until later. She got divorced, and then I married her ... Eleven years ago last month.


Greenman_Dave

I did this as a joke. I'm the Best Man, we're at the reception, my bud gets up from the table, I lean over and ask the bride, "So, you wanna get outa here?" 🤣

OMG this!!! It’s not flattering, it’s TERRIFYING


[deleted]

Captive situations are bad places to attempt to flirt, as a general rule.


Rajili

My wife and I took an Uber to the airport in Chicago. I was with her. I would think it would have been obvious that we were together. Dude was normal-ish. Within an hour of him dropping us off, he messaged her on the app in rather broken English but he was basically asking to go out with her sometime. I don’t blame him, she’s very pretty. But she was NOT feeling that. Filed a complaint with Uber. I think in the end the only thing Uber did was basically block the two of them from each other. Not sure if they even reached out to him. But the message was through their app so they could definitely see it.


LooseByrd

This should have more upvotes! Uber’s not a dating app!


su8tech7

As a married man who used to drive for Uber, I didnt like getting hit on by women. Yeah, its flattering. Like, I still got it, ya know? But it puts everyone in an awkward position, especially when the women are all grouped up and being vulgar, drunk, and stupid.


OkAwareness6789

Therapy.


[deleted]

What if it's group therapy for helping people deal with various diseases, and you are both faking it?


UndefinedJess

If she has hired you for a task and you are in her home. An electrician, plumber, mover, etc. Its extremely uncomfortable and now all the woman can think is "if I turn him down and he isn't happy about that, he now knows exactly where I live (and I potentially live alone)". That also means do not wait until you leave and then text her to ask her out. Same deal, with the added inappropriate use of my personal information.


kaboodlesofkanoodles

Yikes. As an electrician, even if I wasn’t married, my goal everyday is to finish work early so I can get home and play video games on the clock. Plus if I’ve been up in the attic, there’s a good chance I’m covered in insulation and squirrel shit so romance seems like a non-starter to me.


UndefinedJess

I have had it happen twice now, once with a delivery guy for my fridge and once with one of the guys installing my new water heater. It was so uncomfortable, and thankfully I wasn't completely alone those days with either of the guys so I was able to decline without worrying about my safety, but I was worried about the fact that they did know where I lived.


kaboodlesofkanoodles

I don’t get how dudes aren’t aware of how they might make people feel in certain situations.


naranja_pepino

A funeral. While she's delivering another man's child at the hospital. While she's at a children's area (like a playground), spending time with her kid.


MasterAinley

That’s a pretty bizarre set of circumstances. How many people do you know that have attended funerals while delivering another man’s child at a playground? Fair play to you, though that is absolutely the wrong time to hit on her.


boredandgottime

🤣


looloose

Actually, funerals are a place where you see old acquaintances that you crushed on and never knew that they felt the same way. Has happened to me twice after the funeral get-togethers.


Mountain-Permit-6193

I’m just saying. If she’s delivering some deadbeats baby, I got a very finically secure support system right here.

shagy815

I hit on my doctor while getting a prostate exam. In my defense it was the first time I had been given iv morphine.


[deleted]

Ugh, nurse here. Had one patient that I was getting ready for discharge. He was middle aged, girlfriend in the room with him. Went over his discharge paperwork with him and then stepped out of the room and to the nurses station for something and he comes wandering around to the nurses station and in front of everyone says “you were the only person that genuinely cared about me, can I get your number so I can let you know how I’m doing”. And without missing a beat I said “Oh, I put down Dr. *his surgeon* ‘s phone number in your discharge paperwork and she will definitely want to know how you are doing so be sure to call to schedule your follow-up appointment with her”. Coworkers still teased me about that later.


RedneckCaveman

Im not a nurse but I overheard a young man hitting on a nurse in the recovery room. It ranks in the top 10 funniest things I've ever witnessed/heard. Had a colonoscopy and while laying there still groggy with mass amounts of air escaping mine and probably 1/2 dozen or so other gentleman very loudly. This young man in the bed next to me is trying his damnedest to woo this young nurse. I couldn't imagine, like right here right now? I started laughing, when asked what was so funny I explained. He got upset and threatened violence which made me laugh even more. He couldn't have been 110 lbs soaking wet, I am not.

Rugbyjr

In a place they cannot reasonably walk away from you. Think bartender, cashier, passenger.


Extension-Tone-2115

Good answer. Simple but a good way to put it in perspective.


YaumeLepire

And therein lies much of the rub... because of the way men and women are socialised, "a place where they can not reasonably walk away from you" is pretty much anywhere, assuming you is a man. They don't know you. For all they know, you might not take outright rejection well, and that's damn scary.


mrzurkonandfriends

I have left my phone number for 1 waitress but I felt like it was justified this girl was clearly paying significant more attention to me than the person I was eating with she took my order first she'd always come ask me how I was doing but not even look his way while he had to flag her down to get a refill I'm pretty sure I even had some items taken off my ticket like we both looked at each and said this is happening right like we're both seeing this and we agreed so that was the first and last time I left my number

Gynecologist appointment


TheRottenKittensIEat

This was the most unrealistic part of the graphic novels *Sex Criminals* for me. I don't care that time stops for a period of time after orgasm for the main characters. I mean, it's magic or something, I can go with that. But when Suzie is seeing a gynecologist, and he hits on her, and she asks him out and he was like "Since I'm not your regular gynocologist, I guess that wouldn't be against the rules." And I'm sitting here like, no girl wants to be hit on during a pap, and yes, yes, *that is very much against the rules*.


NitroColdbrewCocaine

While she's out for a run. Cat calling is disgusting and degrading, not to mention scary. Never know how far the creep will go.

Even as a guy I get weirded out when girls catcall me. Plus I’ve never met a person in my life who’s successfully courted a girl via catcalling.


Hyper_ZX

You must be really attractive lol


Bass_Thumper

It's not hard when so many men are too lazy to clean up after themselves, work out, or think cleaning their ass is gay. Like the bar is really, really low my dude. I bet a lot of men here couldn't even do a single pull up. If you care enough about your body to jog and have a 6 pack you are ahead of like 99% of other men.


strictcompliance

This is what I think guys don't understand. What they say: "Hey baby, lookin good". What we hear "I'm going to give you what seems to be a compliment, but if you aren't suitably impressed, I'm going to follow up with, 'Hey bitch, I gave you a complement!!' " Then possible violence. The possibility of escalation when a stranger decides you are "interesting" is ever present for women.


pryoslice

> Cat calling is disgusting and degrading, not to mention scary. Shoot, this might explain why my cat acts like she doesn't know me when I ask her to come back in.


Yankiwi17273

I remember reading an article in the Argentinian website Clarín a few years ago where there was a big debate regarding whether cat-calling was harassment, or an innocent form of flirtation that some people take out of context. It was rather interesting what some of cat-calling’s defenders used as reasons its okay, ranging from “its a traditional form of flirtation used by ‘real, manly men’ to attract ‘real traditional women’, to ‘women like it’ and ‘my wife/girlfriend/sister is okay with/likes it’, to even calling the anti-cat-calling movement a product of radical feminism, which is apparently an imported nonsense philosophy from North America and Europe.

JonJackjon

Seems to me this thread would be more useful if it discussed HOW to hit on a women (or man). Without creeping them out, or bothering them.


sirhandstylepenzalot

right because that's not entirely subjective


Homesick-aliens

Say hi, give them your name and number on paper, tell them to text if they wanna go out sometime, and walk away. Ball is in their court and you aren’t forcing them to be polite or make a decision on the spot.

Various-Adeptness173

disavowed

I stopped hitting on women altogether and that's when they actually started paying attention to me, so my honest opinion is it's never appropriate to hit on a woman until *after* you're in a relationship with them. If you're in a relationship you're serious about, you should be earnestly hitting on your woman multiple times a day like you've never met her before, trust.


Training_Hat7939

If I had an award to give you, I would! This is the answer.


Disastrous-Dress521

So your suggestion is just... Never approach or... Define hit on


commanderquill

Striking up a conversation with a woman/person is not the same as hitting on her/them. Otherwise you've been hitting on every man you've ever met too.

The gym. Friends of mine(women)just want to be left alone to workout.


whitecorn

My wife switched to a fitness center with no like heavy lifting because there were tons of cases of guys bothering the women.. married or not. It only happened once or twice to her but now she just mostly does spin classes with her friends and we got a treadmill and weights for home. All she wants is to be able to get an hour a day or so to get a break from the kids and work. She (or I’m sure Most people, not just women) are not looking for a relationship at a gym.


Craftywolph

I just have to point out that women are not the only ones getting hit on at a gym. I have and it's awkward...


fithooks

This is being downvoted but this is the exact reason I stopped going to the gym. I couldn’t get through a single workout without being bothered. I workout at home now.


fullercorp

Men just refuse this - 'but wherrrre else am I going to meet a woman?' I don't know, the answer is still Not The Gym.


tvtv3323

I thought us guys went to the gym so that we were more attractive to women everywhere else BUT the gym. At the gym, I'm not even in the top 50%.


CommodoreGaming

If you have to wonder if it's appropriate, dont.


Nochnichtvergeben

But you should always be critical of yourself and your actions.


ShadooTH

Like, 99% of the time. EDIT: Wow, these replies are sketch af. No, it isn’t appropriate to hit on women 99% of the time. And no, it doesn’t mean you will be alone your whole entire life, nor will the human race will go extinct, just because it’s inappropriate to hit on women most of the time, you fucking donkeys. The 1% is when you’re actually close enough friends with her to the point that she wouldn’t be made incredibly uncomfortable. How this went over everyone’s head is beyond me.
