Why is this grounds for resignation? He clearly said he sent it by accident.

Could happen to anyone.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

Sure he SAID it was an accident, AFTER she reacted with outrage. Then he tried to shut her up. That's the behavior of someone who's gotten away with this behavior before, probably with women who were in a more vulnerable position. She wound up filing for sexual harassment, so this may be the tip of the iceberg for his behavior. It's what she had evidence for.

Are you also jacking it at work in your lunch break?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s like pooping, why would I wait until I got home if I could be paid to do it at the office?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Do you record yourself pooping?

Who are you texting your poop videos that might mistakenly go to a co-worker?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean, who am I NOT sending those videos to?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Me, for instance

It's called friendly competition, okay? We also give each other pointers.

We have a squad of fecal cheerleaders at my work.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Well they made the company wide email address for something!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Only fans live scatwork.

If only these tps reports could get filed by rubbing them as well

What an inappropiate and sexually charged question.

At least this guy says he made a mistake. What's your excuse?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's really not, no.

He said it could happen to anyone, but it could only happen to people who film themselves jacking it at work.

Him using the word "anyone" implies that jacking it at work is so normal to him, that the only mistake he sees here is that he sent it to the wrong person.

I used the word "anyone". That was me. The intention of my message was humorous, and I'm sorry if you didn't find it or my later question funny.

Couldn't happen to anyone that doesn't masturbate on their lunch break.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I know! Could literally happen to anyone!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Show me someone who hasn't had a sneaky wank on their lunch break and I'll show you a liar.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I can honestly say I have never masturbated on a lunch break.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Eh, people regularly get fired for way less than whacking it in the bathroom and accidentally sending the video to coworkers. Besides I'm of the opinion that the mayor should be held to higher standards not lower ones.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Wait I thought the point was to have special privilege, dang I'm going to throw in the towel on my campaign

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You want him to be high on the job too? Now THAT would be unprofessional.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

That kind of stuff gets sucked into my phone all the time
