    Well - if he brings it up that would be a different problem....;)
    I need to think of something new here...

    @tellit01 ah yes I remember him saying he had to take an anti histermine daily. I too had a problem breathing through my nose and it doesn’t sound like you deliberately sniff up nose stuff. Did you tell your work colleagues?

    If these men tried to mask the noise it would be better, but they don’t.


    Yes I did tell my colleagues although they would have needed to be blind not to notice that my nose isn't quite the shape nature gave me.:D

    No totally the wrong thing to do..he is your boss and there for superior to you,you should keep quiet and carry on.


    He may be senior, but not necessarily superior.

    If he’s my boss why is he asking what I’m doing in my spare time such as how many days I plan to spend on my annual leave in X country and where I’m sleeping (I was seeing an x boyfriend).

    If he’s my boss why is he scratching his crotch when I’m sitting next to him?[/B

    You said he was your boss not me...how do i know if he is or not...dont you know...if you dont maybe you should ask him...does he even work there .?.

    Because he is your boss and as we all know (although some seemed to miss the tongue in cheek post i previously made,silly me sorry forgot its only legal based hardcore advice given here isnt it.) a Boss can do what ever he feels is appropriate.

    I thought it was his snorting habits that offended you..now he is scratching his crotch and asking about your sexual past....maybe you should make your mind up.

    Ive given a lot of thought and spent a great deal of time advising you...now the story has changed.:eek::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::beer:

    @Tellit01 yes I’m trying to ignore it but I’m one of those people that you can tell Im hiding something. At my next 121 he might bring it up, which makes me think if I should say anything.

    I suggest you make an effort to learn how to "hide" things sometimes - believe me, you're likely to face much more important issues in your working life and when this happens, you may well need to show a positive and non-complaining face.

    Personally I don't think it's worth taking the issue up, especially if you've already given him "the look" (which probably wasn't the best move) and are looking to move on anyway.
  • @samsung the story hasn’t changed you misunderstood the point I made
  • @Ja7188 Yeah good advice. I’m going to bring in a box of man sized tissues. Hint hint.

    Hopefully you're joking, as opposed to having a genuine intention to insult and irritate someone who you're probably going to need to ask for a reference in the near future.
  • ^majority of references are factual. And if someone writes a bad reference lol I’ll sue.
