Bad Service - the new FanficRants?
(from a mousie at [info]wank_report)

Over at [info]bad_service, [info]slayer_buffy66 posts about a delivery guy giving her his number while he was delivering her food. She concludes her post with "I can NEVER order from them again."

Comments start with people agreeing that it was inappropriate of him, and some suggest that she call up the manager. Others call her out for over reacting. Some even accuse her of using the post to sneak in a little bragging about herself.

The real wank, however, doesn't explode until [info]christophersnow appears and says, "it's not like he groped you or anything." Then everyone's favorite, [info]ginmar, shows up and remembers to bring the feminism wank.

The OP is pretty wanky herself. She edits her post twice, the first time claiming that "I am WAY to scared to complain. He's been to my HOUSE numerous times. I am alone a LOT of the time when I am not at work. I am parinoid."

But the second time she switches gears to "Okay, I would like to say that THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST THING TO HAPPEN TO ME IN A LONG TIME. I am not over reacting. I really thought it was funny/sad/pathetic all at the same time."

There are way too many people in Buffy fandom with usernames with the words "slayer," "Spike," or "Buffy" in them and a bunch of random numbers. SRSLY. I can't tell them apart anymore.

Also, um, I know I'm contributing to the [Bad username: share_your_opinion_wank] phenomenon by doing this, but I totally agree with the OP. I would be weirded out, too. I'm a girl and I live alone, and if some random delivery guy decided to "DO ME A FAVOR" and give me his number, I would be hella uncomfortable as well, and I'd never order from there again. I mean, it's your own house, and you don't know anything about him at all and now he knows where you live and your phone number and shit. And if you reject him and then order food from there later, that means he might show up at your door. [info]christophersnow is being a total jerk, IMO.

If I order take out once a week or more from the same place, see the same delivery guy all the time, and he asks me out, I'm not going to fucking freak out about it.

The same with if one of my regular customers at my store asked me out (given he was within a reasonable age range). OMG THEY KNOW WHERE I WORK. No shit, but that's the only place they've seen me.

I think it makes light of horrible situations like stalkings and assaults to assume every attempt by a male to gain more than a business relationship is a) creepy and b) going to end violently.

Most guys are nice. Most of my friends are male.

I've also dated twisted, abusive assholes and was assaulted by a male dormmate my first weekend away at college.

I'm still not as instantly paranoid as this bitch who can't decide if it was OMG CREEPY I CAN NEVER EAT THAT CHINESE PLACE AGAIN or funny.

Either you got a creeptastic vibe and you were justified, or it was a pathetic little dork asking you out and you're being a vitriolic bitch on the internet.

Don't know what's wrong with deciding to order your food where you can get it without a bonus casanova on your doorstep. Unless, you know, you ordered one.

Lots of wank from all sides in the comments, though. Nice.

While I agree that Op was overreacting, I can see how being in that situation would be very uncomfortable. I don't agree with her reactions but I can see where she's coming from.

Course having Ginmar 'defend' you, ain't helping her side any.

On a side note...I'm rather shocked and disappointed to see that no one has broken out the "Ginmar's guide to wankingdebating" icon yet.

I can absolutely see either side's argument.
I'm a very private, fairly reclusive indivdual and i do not like new people. So if the delivery guy (with an apparently arrogant, slightly condesending attitude) gave me his number, I'd be uncomfortable. But, if you catch me on the wrong day, eye contact makes me uncomfortable. Life can be very scary for women living alone.
On the other hand, loads of people meet their dates at work. It's completely possible he didn't mean anything by it, and was harmessly, if clumsly, flirting.
Honestly? I have no idea what to do. All I know is, ginmar is a freak.

Apropros of nothing: My best friend is a pizza delivery guy, and a few nights ago he ALMOST got to lvie out the pizza- delivery guy porno. This woman answered the door in a sports bra and those tight black shorts people wear when they're working out. He gave her the door and iinstead of paying immediately she leaned on the door and chatted with him. she called him cute and felt up his arm when she did end up paying.
He kicks himself every day for not going for the gutso.

I think, regardless of who's right (and I vote for no one, given the wanky asshattery on both sides), the OP should get a little therapy for that paranoia. Then again, I think that everyone benefits from therapy. :)

[info]altoidsaddict

I'm thinking the delivery guy just dodged a huge bullet here.

By her own account, they chatted, he offered her his number, he went away. Why is it The Burning Times now? There is absolutely no way he could have been less threatening about, well, asking out someone he was interested in.

I'm thinking the OP must have some kind of social anxiety disorder - if someone who has so far seemed nice and normal and chatty (like all three times I've had my cable hooked up, and the guy who used to deliver our pizza, and the mechanic who used my on-file phone number to give me my estimate and then ask me out) asks me out, I thank them, say I'm flattered, but attached. Or not interested in them that way. Or any one of the normal responses. I don't immediately assume that rejection turns all guys into flaming stalkery psychos unless proven otherwise. Why? Because if I demand that women be treated as individuals, I must extend the same courtesy to men and not cast these sexist assumptions on them. (And I wonder if this isn't a bit of a classist fear, as well - how dare the delivery person ask her out?)

So, good on the delivery guy for not having an overreactive sexist freak for a girlfriend, and hopefully the next person he asks out will either accept him or will reject him in the usual ways instead of looking up how to file a restraining order.

and i just assumed you had more of a conversation previously than "hi how are you" from the way you originally posted. with that, i don't think you should have been SURPRISED that he hit on you.

Wait ... what? If I dare to have more than ten words to a total stranger, I should expect them to hit on me? Even if that would be, y'know, totally inappropiate because he's working?
