Woman shocked after delivery driver keeps her mobile number and 'tries to seduce her'

1) This has nothing to do with Men's Rights

2) If you're trying to get us to say this was appropriate behavior, then no, it isn't. The driver was wrong to do this. I often tell people on AskMen who ask how to hit on clients or co-workers NEVER to do so. For this reason.

3) The guy did something inappropriate, sure - but "how are you doin" and trying to start up a conversation isn't proof positive that he's stalking her or she's in any danger. She went straight to 'he's out there, and he knows where I live...' whatever lady, the kind of guy who's going to tell you "IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET" wouldn't try hitting you up for a pint.

She's one year younger than me, she's one year younger than me.

Now where is Ford so she can try to urge this company to fire him.

Yeah the guy was wrong for what he did but this is just sensationalism.

Remember that article a week or so ago where someone was whining that stories about violent women are sensationaized? Well thats whats happening here.

what's with writing stupid shit like:

Ms. Faulkner described the messages as "completely illegal."

Who gives a shit what she describes it as. Especially using terms like 'illegal'. wtf?

Second telegraph story I looked at here today - are the writers associated with weekly world news?

She has every right to protect her privacy and what he did broke the data protection act. her grievance has merit for sure

However she looks like a hysterical moron by going to the papers about it. im glad she did though as if i was in crawley I would take note to avoid her.

Personally i would have no problem if marginally attractive female delivery drivers texting me obscene sexual text messages, because they dont scare me and i see it as a compliment. if a guy did it though or a really ugly woman i would simply respond for them to stop if they didn't i would complain to the firm if they continued i would contact the police.

While I get that this might not seem as a MRM issue at first glance and that the guy did step out of bounds big time, especially because it was work-related therefore should have been handled professionally. And I do know that disagreeing with this article might seem like taking his side, but it's definitely not.

If we take a step back and analyse this, we can assume that this guy possibly read a few body sings wrong, maybe he thought she liked him and he was dumb enough to think he'll come off as Don Juan when texting her. But he was dead wrong.

This case did deserve to be handled by the company, because the guy was clearly in the wrong and it was, he got put on different routes, a supervisor deleted her number and warned the driver not to do anything similar in the future or he'd face further disciplinary actions, even termination from the job position. But that apparently isn't enough for the media nor the woman, I guess he should have gotten fired immediately and publicly shamed as a creeper, that's blowing it out of proportion here.

And as /u/bufedad already pointed out, her saying "she doesn't feel safe any more" portrays this dumb pick-up attempt as him being some creepy neighbourhood stalker who's creeping around her house peeping in on her showering and should be put in prison. That is what's wrong with this article, the real issue here is how the media and the woman in question want to blow it out of proportion. I guess he should get fired and publicly shamed for being a creep for her to feel better, maybe even put in jail.

I just hope he doesn't get lynch-mobbed by some crazy witch-hunt feminists for his lame and wrong attempt of flirting.

Edit: to clarify, what's wrong is how this article tried to portray this attempt at flirting as something extremely more malicious, even though he did step way out of line, portraying men as some dangerous predators out to get women at their every step. This is what's wrong with how the media handles these cases.

I don't get it.

The delivery driver tried to ask her for a date, probably. Since she has shown only 5 minutes of texting. I assume, that's all that happened, since it got into the news, so it has to be the full story she's sharing with us.

Her problem is that the man knows where she lives, and the company did not fire him. So she fears of being stalked by him, but she thinks making lose his job and thus making him angry reduces the chance of being stalked?

And what's wrong with this woman? She's 24. She never had to turn down a man, she did not like? Doesn't she has a mother who taught her how to handle boys you aren't attracted to? The man did nothing wrong. He took the risk to connect her. He didn't send no dick picks, said any profanity, or threatened her in any way.

All she should have done is sending him the following message:

"Oh, now I remember you. I don't want to hurt you but I don't find you attractive. So there is no chance anything could happen between us. Please don't contact me again, ever. Wish you all the best, though!"

OP, seriously! What's wrong with this woman? Can't she appreciate that somebody found her pretty, took the bravery to contact her and wanted to spend his time with her? Now she's standing in front of the people of internet complaining like she was hurt. Childish!

The fact that this made it to a publication is ridiculous. He was wrong yes, but he was not stalking her.

this is inappropriate.obviously a feminist trying to prove a point.what was the point? idk honestly but this was wrong. but i would like more context,did he flirt with him at all? not excusing him but its highly unlikely she just said thanks shut the door and he thought yea she would really like a text from me.could have went down like that but most guys go after signals are given.

With a face like that I'm shocked as well.
