- if not, then you just wore any ol suit to your wedding. your call. -- nm - TFox Apr 8, 15:24
- I rented. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 14:52

        which is why the legal standard is usually an objectively reasonable one -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 8, 14:58
        
        I don't actually agree, but I understand that the burden of proof leans heavily that way. - Dano Apr 8, 14:53
        
        what if I'm uncomfortable because you're honest, so I just make up something you didn't do? -- nm - Max Apr 8, 14:46 1
        
        [deleted]

        [deleted] 5
        
        Clarify please: It's NOT legally actionable, but it IS considered harassment by your employer? - ty97 Apr 8, 14:55 4
