So I run a property maintenance company which takes care of the grounds maintenance for commercial property management clients. I was out with a crew cutting the grass at one of our customer's properties, which is a decent sized student condo complex that has a bus stop on the boulevard.

My employee had just finished trimming the fenceline along the boulevard and was walking back up the sidewalk, when he spotted a young lady sat at the bus stop and offered a compliment, which I later learned was along the lines of "nice outfit!".

I wasn't close enough to hear any of this, but I did see him stop to talk and he was maybe there for about 2 seconds and then walked off. The lady sits there for a moment, the stands, turns and follows him a short way onto the property and starts gesturing at him. By this time he's already a couple hundred feet away and has resumed trimming.

As I walk past the woman passes me as she's walking back to the bench, doesn't look at me, but just says "that your coworker with the weedeater sexually harassing me?".

This caught me completely off guard, so I just stop and say "wait what? Are you talking to me?". This time she turns and faces me, seems visibly irate, jumping from foot to foot, yelling about how he just sexually harassed her.

So I'm like "wait, wait, do you know him or something?". She says "no, I've never seen him before". "Okay then, how is he harassing you if he only spoke to you just once, what did he say?". She said "I get this all the time men sexually harassing me because I wear clothes". Uh, okay...

I legit tried three or four more times to get her to explain. Told her I am the owner of the company, I saw the conversation you two had but then my employee walked off, so please tell me what he said that was sexual harassment. She wouldn't tell me a straight answer, she wants to know what my company is so I'm like okay I can tell you who we are get your phone out I'll give you our web address "no it doesn't matter" she says. Then her ride shows up and she tells me to fuck off. Black minivan pulls up and plows both passenger side tires up against the curb.

O...kay?

So naturally I go talk to my guy, I'm like wtf was that about dude I just got chewed out by this lady on the boulevard. He says "I just said she was wearing a nice outfit, her shirt matched her shoes and it looked cool so I was just giving a compliment and figured maybe I might get her number. She made it clear she wasn't interested so I left, next thing I know she's yelling at me telling me I sexually harassed her and calling me a predator".

Poor kid thought I was gonna tell him he's fired.

Sorry I know this is probably fairly insignificant, but I've just been floored by this whole encounter all day long and I guess I just wanted to rant. First time I've ever encountered anything like this.
