Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I work in an open insurance office, my desk is the very back one and not visible from our doors. We are open to the public so policyholders can come in.


For the past 2 weeks, nearly every day, a kid about 18 comes in. He is severely mentally disabled. He has taken a liking to me. The first once or twice it was fine, I played it off. He asked if I was married, why I wasn't married, can I be his girlfriend, do I want to kiss him, where is my ring at etc.

No, I can't be your girlfriend, I'm engaged, I don't always wear my ring because I don't like jewelry etc.

He leans over my desk and tries to touch me or sit by me and it impedes my work and makes me super super uncomfortable. He doesn't smell very good and acts the way a small child would. He reaches for my hair, leans over me, asks me to kiss him etc. 

My male boss has said something to him a few times along the lines of "Hey buddy, thanks for stopping by but you need to leave so we can get some work done."

Now, he still shows up but asks if the boss man is here or if he will get in trouble.

So the other lady up front by the window warns me. I grab my phone and run out the back until they text me it's OK go come back in. Sometimes this takes like 20 minutes because he wanders the office looking for me.


I feel like a huge peice of shit for hiding from a mentally disabled kid. I don't know if he knows better or not. But I can't be spending a half hour a day being uncomfortable and not getting work done, or hiding.

Am I the asshole?
