How would you handle something like this?

Wouldn't he know better than casually shaving his beards?  :001_rolleyes:

You are probably right. I guess we should go back to the chainsaw theory, lol.

 

ETA Maybe she just said, "You look like a cop." And he is undercover, but got sick of the beard?

This is one strange thread.

Who else conjures up this image upon hearing "Pornstache?"

[Truscifi]

:huh: :confused1: :smilielol5: :ohmy:  and more :huh: .

 

 

Seriously, Pamela, can you give us anything else to work with?  Was whatever the woman did directly related to the sudden lack of beard, or was it some crazy unrelated practical joke because everyone else was joking around?

I lean more toward Ron Burgundy - especially with the new movie poster out for Anchor Man 2:

Did she say something about how sexy he looks and kiss him?  If so, did she do that in front of someone else?

 

It could be dangerous if her partner is jealous and could cause him to lose his job if anyone thought it was consensual.

 

Yeah, document and warn.

 

I think that this is the closest best guest.  

[Trish]

I'm definitely watching the Just For Men commercials with greater interest!

[Incognito]

If it's not a kiss, I vote for her pointing some dangerous equipment at his face.  This could be a nail gun, chain saw, etc. 

 

ETA:  OOh, or I have one more - but it is crass.

 

I will write in white and you can highlight it if you want to read it.

 

She did a combo moon-sit on his face, which would ruin his reputation and possibly kill him by suffocation!

Just noticed this. Heh!

[Mom0012]

Yes, we did. It had to do with a teacher promising the kid an A if he shaved his eyebrows. But when he did, the teacher laughed and said he couldn't believe the kid had believed him.

Wow!  That's awful.  Well, I'm glad to know what that was about.

[Pamela H in Texas]

Genscharm, thanks for the pics.  I'm gonna send it to hubby!

 

I forgot who mentioned it, but hubby is not a JW (I wish).  

 

It really isn't about the mustache.  It really is that the change started the teasing and then this woman went WAY too far. 

 

I'm trying to think of a schoolyard similarity.  A kid makes some change (glasses to contacts, wearing polo color she never has, a haircut, whatever) which gets some kids teasing (whether nicely or bullying).  Another kid, possibly with lack of social skills, decides to add his two cents.  Totally not related to the change, he starts saying the kid is a witch, a hot topic in the little town where a middle schooler suspected of being a witch was drowned in the pond.  

 

Not really helpful, I guess.  I'm not really good at coming up with such things. A writer I've never been.

 

ETA:  Actually, a couple of the guesses (that may seem unrelated) were pretty good.  

ETA2:  Y'all have WAY more time on your hands than I do!

ETA3: Hubby did say that he is almost positive he's going to have to report her as she's been inappropriate in other situations and will not stop until it threatens her job.  All the more reason to get her off a jobsite!  My goodness. 

ETA4: 

 

 

P.S. This thread has been life changing for me.

 

Glad to have helped :)

[Catwoman]

Ok, so it's not the 'stache.

 

All I can come up with is that the woman suggested he was something along the lines of a child molester or a terrorist of some kind. I can't imagine anything else that could possibly endanger his life, unless she started a rumor that he was having a torrid affair with a woman whose husband is known for being both violent and insanely jealous.

[Guest]

P3do-stache?  That is the only thing I can think of.  Though it is still a stretch.

I worked in HR a million years ago. I can not emphasize enough how he needs to report this ASAP. Often, the first to report is the one believed. I've seen people fired over some really stupid stuff. First thing in the AM, HR office!!

[Pamela H in Texas]

Okay, going to ask hubby if there are chainsaws on his jobsite.  I don't know what all chainsaws are used for, but I'd doubt one is being used there.  

Would it really change y'all's fun that much if we had to change it to a welding machine or pipe wrench?

I could ask hubby to take a chainsaw to work tomorrow; but I think he'd think I was nuts.  He'd also maybe wonder if I was in cahoots with the idiot.

Thank you for trying to make the Chainsaw Scenario work for me, Pamela. :D

Wow. Just, um, wow...

[Cinder]

I've enjoyed reading this thread. :D

[annandatje]

That's what I'm thinking...or that Pamela's DH now looks like a wanted killer/abuser/legendary criminal. And maybe the coworker keeps calling him that?!

 

I don't know why Pamela won't say what the coworker did.

 

As for the joking...uh-huh, nope, no way. A supervisor can get bit HARD joking around with subordinates, esp those of the opposite sex.

 

Glad someone strongly pointed out what a landmine "joking around" can be for supervisor, particularly with the opposite sex.  Personally I would insist all "joking around" stop for the financial security of the family. 

 

There was a poster here whose husband allegedly lost his job for relatively mild "joking around" with a female employee during a probationary period.

 

Your husband should meet immediately with his supervisor, union rep if applicable, and HR rep for his own protection.

 

I can't imagine how his life would be in danger, but if this is the case, law enforcement should be involved.

[sewingmama]

Ah ha...I think I'm getting it now.

 

My DH is a school principal and it would ruin his reputation (also possibly...but not likely...get him killed) if someone accused him of being a child molestor. Because of the repercussions it would have to be addressed...even if it was a dumb joke. Just the act of being investigated even if the allegations weren't true is enough to be damaging. You couldn't really be the principal anymore if all the parents were whispering that you had been investigated for child molestation...even if you were cleared peope would still be wondering if there was anything to it for having been brought up in the first place KWIM.

 

Some people really have no brain. The woman needs a kick up the backside and a talking too...don't let your DH push it aside it needs to be addressed promptly.

[Dandelion]

Based on Pamela's most recent post, it sounds like this woman said something - rather than did something - damaging. 

 

I'm starting to wonder if she used some gay slurs with respect to Pamela's DH. In some work environments, speculation that you're gay can lead to all kinds of workplace harassment and might even put you in physical danger. Maybe she said that she saw him making advances towards another guy.  Whatever she said, she took it too far.

 

Just doing my part to keep this thread going until Pamela gives us more clues (or better yet, finally tells us what really happened).  :p

[FaithManor]

Dh's manager had a woman at work try to flirt, quite boldly, and when the manager rebuffed her, she cut the brake lines to his car!

 

Thankfully, dh's manager is one of those car guys who ALWAYS checks every single parking spot for signs of oil dripping. When he saw the puddle of fluid, he rubbed his fingers through it and smelled it. He knew instantly it wasn't engine oil and was pretty certain it was brake fluid. I don't know if they had enough forensics evidence to nail her for it - dh switched departments soon after, but EVERYONE at work believed she was the culprit since she had to be fired for her flirtaceous/harassing behavior.

 

 

[Tammyla]

:001_rolleyes: How could I miss such an amazing thread :confused1:. 

 

 

My best guess, is that he was flashed (something horrible was exposed) it started a chain reaction,and he nearly died seeing or smelling it. :w00t:

 

 

Seriously, I would report the incident, because like this thread incidents can take on a life of their own.

[Cinder]

Based on Pamela's most recent post, it sounds like this woman said something - rather than did something - damaging.

 

This was my impression too. She said something, he said to stop, then she goes on with something like, "No, but really . . . " and goes on to repeat it with more emphasis.

 

Pamela, I hope your dh takes the appropriate action to protect himself. :grouphug:

He almost DIED from something she said? Did she speak Voldemort's name or something??

[Dandelion]

Yeah, that's the piece that we're all having a hard time figuring out.  Maybe she's half dragon, and when she gets worked up, flames shoot out of her mouth.    :p

Yeah, it could be that. Or is could just be over dramaticism. :lol:

Or that.  ;)

[Trish]

Pamela, your explanation did sort of help!

 

Thanks for being such a good sport through the creative joking on this thread. Hopefully none of us will get fired from the board!

[Catwoman]

Pamela, was everything OK for your dh at work today? Did he report the incident?

[Guest submarines]

Dear Pamela,

 

We understand and forgive that you didn't want to share explicit details of what she said/ did to your DH. However, it is absolutely required that you report in detail what actions your DH took at work and everything that follows. 

 

The Curious Minds.

 

:cool:

[Cinder]

I *am* having some trouble with that part but the part about trouble at work is not so hard to believe. And that's the part where I think her dh needs to take action to protect himself.

 

Guess that didn't come out so clearly in print but it made sense in my head. :)

[blessed3x]

Bumping this morning.....   :lol:

 

 

[momto10blessings]

No update?

[MommaOfalotta]

I'm still baffled.. although the images that are now in my head.... are permanently burned there. :crying:

 

 

OP, if you can't tell us what happened, then fine... But I think its only fair to let us know if/when someone guesses it ;) Let this thread go on long enough and I have no doubt that one of these imaginative ladies will guess!
