Life loves its ironies. I can remember well being an undergraduate male, when what to do with an eager young miss in a low-cut red dress was screamingly obvious. Now they're a nuisance.
ReplyDelete"I was going to offer to bake you a pie...but OKKKKKK".
ReplyDeleteI used to think this only happened to male proffies. Then my student Randy Roland asked me if I thought he was attractive and leaned closer to sniff my hair. He then wanted to close the door to my office to "talk about something." The 'ick' factor alone still makes me shudder.
ReplyDeleteNow I know that simply rambling and scaring students away is a better tactic.
Eww.
DeleteI've always found an air of gentle incomprehension works wonders. Now when I say "always" I mean "the maybe twice I've been in anything like this situation". I don't think female profs get hit on nearly as often as male profs.
PS: Girls are Geeks posted this earlier, too. It got lost in the whole troll fiasco of 2012.
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, I missed it. My apologies of Girls are Geeks.
DeleteTotally cool. At least I know I'm not the only one who thought it was funny!
DeleteA colleague of mine shared an office with a prof who married one of her students. Colleague A would walk into their shared office to find colleague B making out with her husband.
ReplyDeleteHe finally got a new office, but I don't think he's ever really recovered.
