Crosspost "Sexually assaulted by a woman at work and literally no one cares lol" from /r/Vent:

After literal months trying to find a job, I finally got a decently paying (18 an hour) warehouse job. 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Everything was fine the first week, its super taxing on the body but it’s whatever, but the second week this lady kept trying to flirt with me and talk very sexually. I ignored her because I only go to work to make the money and leave, I don’t care about making friends or having a “work wife” or whatever, and also I didn’t find this woman attractive at all, not just physically, but she was also loud and obnoxious as fuck.

So anyway I would just laugh it off whenever she tried to say anything. I guess me laughing emboldened her because she became way more aggressive in her actions. She would do things like look at my crotch and say “oooo I can see the print” and at one point she grabbed my butt. By this point I was uncomfortable and I told her to stop, and I wasn’t laughing at all. She like leaned back and looked super offended, then said that I must be gay, then she started calling me a virgin, f*g, little boy, etc. And of course, everyone else in the warehouse thought it was the most hilarious thing ever and joined in and began saying the same things for the rest if the day. (I live in Detroit and people are like that here, completely insufferable) I already have anxiety and the thought of going back into work after being embarrassed like that was giving me panic attacks. The only reason I wanted to get a job that paid well and had good hours in the first place was because my mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and we could barely afford rent let alone treatment for that, but it was just too much for me to keep working there so I called my boss and told her I quit. I said “I cant work there because people are talking about me sexually and making me uncomfortable” she just said “you’re QUITTING?!? Ok.” And hung up lmao. Didn’t even care to ask what happened.

When I told my mom about it her face fell and she just looked so disappointed, I told her it was because it was too far to walk an hour to work and back in the cold. (her car was taken because she kept missing payments) I wanted to tell her the real reason but how could I? How could I tell her that her son quit his job because he was getting bullied like he was still in high school?

This entire experience has left me somehow even more misanthropic than I already was, I really just want to die. I was already suicidal but this might be was pushes me over the edge. Ive been thinking about it all day. Sorry this post is so long, I don’t know why I wrote this, I guess to vent or rant or whatever.
