Send her a dick pic, just to let her know you’re thinking of her! ---

A perfect opportunity for some of those 'getting to know your co-worker" exercises that consultants seem to like so much! ---

Ask if she’s been working out. What? It is a good ice-breaker. 😃 I have had a similar experience. There is one manager I work with, when we are in a meeting room together, with others, I notice that sometimes when she starts speaking, she goes ahead and adjusts/pulls her sweater/jacket over her chest. Which is OK as everyone in the room starts looking at her. But a few times when I glanced over to her when she was not speaking, like when someone referred to work in her area, she did the same thing, like a reaction to my look. No, I am not checking-out the goods. I am professional at work and don’t ever even compliment people on their dress, looks, haircut, etc. And I certainly don’t ogle. I dunno. I guess sometimes some women get vibe going-on even from someone innocent. ---

They \*all \*think they’re innocent; the jails are full of innocents…😃 **Grrr!** why not offer her a cool refreshing beverage before the training starts along with mutual shoulder massages as a team building/trust exercise. ---

Play the song ‘goodbye horses’ while staring at her. That’ll help. Whatever creepy stuff you did before will seem tame by comparison. Problem solved. In the business we call that ‘cutting off your arm to distract you from your hangnail’. ---

Get really really nervous and anxious about the situation, then keep staring at her when you think she’s not looking. The look of fear and anxiety on your face will endear her to you when she catches you. 😃 Dang, my iTunes is playing _Drive in Saturday_ while I’m writing this. ---

> [@gigi](#): > > But first draw a little smiley face on the tip, to show her you’re not creepy. You people are such amateurs. Here is how you do it. Take a photo of her (without her knowing it) when she is running her daily errands. Not when she is at work, when she is off work and going to the grocery store, etc. Then blow up the head photo, cut a hole in the mouth, and then stick your dick in that hole. Then take a picture to send to her. Jeez, am I the only creep on this forum? ---

Write her a letter, with a poem. Chicks dig that shit. Dear new girl It seems we got off on the wrong foot and I would just like to clear the air between us. The other day when I followed you out to your car, I just wanted to say hello! I thought that since we’ll be working for the same company, we may as well get to know each other a little. One day we might even share a ride to work since we both live over on the east side - Dave in HR told me when you live. Or maybe we could have lunch sometime? You like curried egg sandwiches right? I checked your bin. There was some of your hair in there too, and if you need that back just let me know, it’s in my desk drawer. I also wrote this for you: Dear new girl, I just need you, to know, I will keep an eye, On everything you do. And by the way, Does this rag, smell like chloroform to you? ---

The forgettable movie “Hall Pass” was where I first saw/heard it (and it was napkin, I just checked), but it might not have been original to that flick.
