The “cuteness” (marital status?) of your co-workers or their relatives is not an appropriate topic of conversation with your co-workers while you are at work. ---

To defuse the tension, just try telling jokes more often. For instance, say “That’s what she said” a lot. ---

> [@pope\_hentai](#): > > SERIOUSLY? So asking about the marital status of someone my age makes me some kind of fucking creep? No, asking whether your co-workers mothers and sisters are cute makes you a creep. Believe it or not, your co-workers aren’t there to be your dating service. Also, you’re illiterate. So, you’re an illiterate creep–just the type of person employers love. ---

WTF? Person(mic\*) graduated with an actual degree in Linguistics, said degree earned at one of the so-called Public Ivy universities, and Person(mic\*) still can’t parse the OP’s [del]blather[/del] posts. By the way, in the fast-food franchise universe, isn’t supervisor kind of a low rung? When I was a high school junior, every one of my classmates who happened to be working in such a franchise was a supervisor. The plebs were high school sophomores and the aforementioned MITK. \*Monty in China ---

Here’s something interesting. At least, it’s interesting to me. I took the OP’s, let’s call it a missive and plugged it into [this nifty writing tester](http://www.writingtester.com/tester/grade_level.php). The tester’s verdict is 59 for readability and 6 for grade level. Now, if one is well into their twenties and can only muster a 6th grade writing level, then perhaps one shouldn’t be concentrating on the love life of another person.
