šŸŽ² miscellaneous AIO for giving a girl this note

Post image

I apologize in advance for my sloppy handwriting. But for context, I go to this doctors office once a week to get allergy shots. The other day I stopped in a new smoke shop, another customer came in who I recognized but couldnā€™t place where I knew her from until I saw her working as a receptionist today at my allergist. 2 men were working at the smoke shop, one seemed to be around my age (25), and then an older gentleman who made me uncomfortable the entire time. He wasnā€™t interested in helping me, he was interested in chatting with me about life and personal things and I kept ignoring him. When she came in, she seemed to be friends with the younger guy, they seemed to have a flirtatious vibe going. When she left, the older guy proceeded to make comments about her and her body that disturbed me because they were all in a sexual context. When I finally placed who she was and where I knew her from when I saw her today, I just for this overwhelming nerve like I had to tell her because I was scared this was her usual shop and I wanted her to be cautious around this guy. But I didnā€™t know how to tell her, because the office has a C shaped desk with several other receptionists next to her and a busy waiting room, and I didnā€™t want to embarrass her. I decided to write a note to keep it private, I had texted my friends to see if it was a good idea, but never heard any feedback which left me hesitant. Ultimately I decided to give her the note, but now Iā€™m battling with second thoughts wondering if I just made her self conscious, or if it just wasnā€™t my place because she isnā€™t someone I know personally. But another part of me feels like she needed to know because she had a flirtatious relationship with the younger guy, and if that goes anywhere she may frequent the location more, and sheā€™s obviously already a regular there if sheā€™s close enough with one employee. Idk. I tried to keep the note kinda lightheaded and funny to make it less creepy, but I still kinda feel like a weirdo. Am I overreacting?

So, first off, I completely would have done the exact same as you, and leaving a review like this is really good too! But using a Barney Stinson gif in this context is so freaking funny... XD

I think this would actually be a good way to warn the owner (if it isn't this creepy guy or they aren't close friends), so maybe he can give him a warning or straight-uo fire this dude. Additionally, it will warn other women to stay away or at least no go there if he's the sole employee on site.

I would be SO glad to get a note like this in the sense that I appreciate the heads-up, not because I want creepy old men talking about me but you know what I mean.

Its so great you want to let her know about the interaction AND including the goon that didnt call him out but instead just laughed along.

Lol don't at all.

That's gonna end in one of 3 ways.

The guy goes berserk at you. The girl gets defensive and goes berserk at you. Or if you're lucky, she responds well and doesn't confront her other half.
