Workplace Creep’s Pervy Antics Backfire As Cunning Redditor Hashes Out His Inappropriate Texts By Work Email

Our tale begins with our unsuspecting narrator diligently navigating a regular workweek. Among the sea of colleagues, one figure stood out—a married male coworker whom OP initially perceived as merely friendly. 

But as the clock struck 3 am, OP was bombarded with a series of messages that changed the dynamics of their friendship.

He invited OP over for “some fun” while painting a facade of a non-existent mutual attraction that had been bubbling between them. He even took things a step further by sending an obscene selfie.

OP was beyond shocked! First of all—she played for the other team; secondly —what the heck?! To say she felt harassed was an understatement, but she managed to push the headache aside as a “Monday” problem.

Come Monday, OP crafted an email, tactfully attaching his texts and pictures from the previous night. She flagged the unsolicited messages as unwelcome and inappropriate and demanded he contact her for only work purposes or not at all. 

The email wasn't sent to HR, but her personal email was added as a blind CC—a strategic move for documentation. 

The coworker's reaction was explosive. He replied with a text accusing OP of attempting to get him fired. OP followed the exact same procedure, this time using the current text as an attachment. 

He finally stormed her office in person. OP made it clear if he wasn’t there for a work-related issue, he could see himself out. He finally left.

Was OP wrong for thrashing it out officially?
