I was doing a foreclosure sale. I dropped a paper. It landed between my feet. A guy there to bid picked it up for me and handed back. I said thanks. He said, " no problem, I never pass on a chance to reach between a woman's legs". Ick. Well if he now lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC, don't worry: it was just locker room talk and all guys do that. No reason whatsoever to get upset. If this is the case, you should no doubt be flattered! ICK

Apparently you refrained from kicking him in the nuts and saying I never pass up a chance to reach between a man's legs. No call came out to YM'res to bail you out or no national news flash.

The vast majority of the time, if the audience determines whether something is inappropriate or not is inappropriate regardless of the audience.

Kick needs to be appropriately placed and, since we women-folk aren't interested in anything deeper than clothes, may I suggest the following alternative language: I never pass up a chance to see how well a man looks with dangling earrings

I of no problem being exposed to things totally inappropriate to a kindergarten class or a gathering of 80 year old church ladies. I say things to my wife that are totally appropriate when she is the full audience.

Among adults...I don't personally change much - at least when you take out things like professionalism in what you call inappropriate. Yea I curse more when I'm not with my family, but it's not because I find cursing inappropriate it's because my mom has asked me not to. So my level of what I find inappropriate doesn't change, I just will opt for stricter rules in certain company.

Well that certainly isn't what your comment said nor implied.

... something is inappropriate or not is inappropriate ... ... what I find inappropriate ... Are we discussion what "is inappropriate" or simply what "(you) find inappropriate"? If we are talking justme, then truly justme and not audience is all that matters.

Well that certainly isn't what your comment said nor implied. I replied that he was talking to a woman (so he isn't in a locker room, so you can't make the 'locker room talk' claim/Trump comparison), and it is inappropriate. Not sure what 'implication' you're trying to divine here outside of my statement.

If we are talking justme, then truly justme and not audience is all that matters. I think you're splitting hairs with that. There's no true universal unanimous opinion of what is or isn't inappropriate. Just because I don't like something doesn't make it inappropriate. That's not the litmus test. I'd personally say it's more what more people would find inappropriate than not, but admit that is a moving target to some extent.

It crossed my mind about a swift kick in the nuts was a warranted response. If DH had said that to me I'd have laughed and called him a "pig" in fun. A man I don't know is a "pig" and it's not funny at all.

He said, " no problem, I never pass on a chance to reach between a woman's legs". Ick. Ewwww. Reminds me of a time I was traveling in Europe. I was there with 4 coworkers (all female ). We were taking a train ride and there were 2 sets of 3 seats facing each other, so we took up 5. A creepy old guy sits in the other seat directly across from me. It is a long trip and we all doze off. I woke up and the guy had his foot (no shoes) up on my seat between my legs within about an inch of touching me (I was wearing jeans). I was in shock, but as soon as he saw I was awake he put his foot down. When we got off the train, my friends were talking about how creepy he was and then I told them where his foot was. We were all grossed out. Moral of the story, don't fall asleep on a train with a creepy guy in the seat across from you.

I was issued a beer stein when I graduated high school. It has my high school's name on it. It was my coffee cup in grad school.

That exact same thing happened to my friend and a classmate of hers taking a train ride through France. They went to sleep in a booth and woke up with a strange old man trying to lift her friends classmate skirt. They both screamed and the old man ran out. CREEPY!

We were all grossed out. Moral of the story, don't fall asleep on a train with a creepy guy in the seat across from you. I once found myself on the subway, sitting in the bend of an L-shaped group of seats, when two 50+ -year old men, obviously friends, took the seats to the right and in front of me. They proceeded to talk about the challenges and pitfalls of hiring prostitutes. How to "charm the ladies". How to become a preferred customer--not just another john. How to explain things to the wife, boss, coworkers, police, etc. if you were ever caught. How paying women for sex doesn't mean you aren't attractive enough to get it for free. It was mostly one man talking and the other agreeing with him. Neither apparently cared that the whole subway car was privy to their conversation. It was one of those situations where I felt like I ought to say something, but couldn't think of any favourable outcome to the situation if I did.

I'm listening to David Sedaris journal right now and his Sister Amy has always been notorious for blurting out untrue, crazy things in public, loudly for effect.
I once offered to help a woman out with her at home bakery marketing, she didn't understand why I thought Back Door Bakery might not be the best name...

I'm listening to David Sedaris journal right now For long road trips with my sailing crew, I like to get funny audiobooks. Was totally looking forward to a David Sedaris audiobook since he's one of my favorite authors. But ACK! his voice. Ugh.. his voice. Just, no. I wish I could unhear it. He is the only comedian I've ever known where them reading their own book made the book significantly less funny.

I don't mind it. He's best in front of a live audience, or he can get monotone in long readings. But this is all short passages so he stays 'fresh'. I read everything of his in his voice and cadence now, lol.

Or just pretending to be serious? Oh they were serious. They were just really comfortable discussing the subject matter. I've been told by people as old as 90 years old that mentally you still feel like the same person at 90 as you did at age 25. For some people this means talking about sex as casually and boastfully as they did when they were 25... only they're now seniors. And if their exploits happen to involve paying younger women, well... that's just part of the new equation.

I find it very believable that you spend a lot of time looking for prostitutes." You know, looking for a favourable outcome REALLY cuts down your options.

If you ever overhear two 90 yr old ladies having the same conversation could you take notes and report back. Tag me, it will save me a lot of research on how to to become a preferred customer of a "man of the evening"

It would require very little knowledge of sex slang to qualify things as both of those. And I'm guessing cash would be preferred for the tip. Harder to get away with tax fraud if it's on a credit card, since we're being all YM and all.
