Abusing company info to hit on someone

Not open for further replies.
My craydar is pretty good and it's detecting a fair amount of crazy. It's not even what she did but what she says. Wouldn't do this normally, super exception? Yea right I bet she said that to the last 5 guys as well.
 
I certainly wouldnt abuse personal information of a client to hit on her.
sure, it would be fine is the thinks I am cute, but if not, I'm a creep and could lose my job. nope.
 
I don't think it's that much different than looking hard into someone's Facebook when you don't know them. Sure, that info was private, but he could just go on one date and just feel her out and she if she is crazy.
 
ask yourself this: would it be creepy to look up names in a phone book, then google it to find the facebook page and then ask you out if cute?
yes, it would.

ps: do phone books still exist?

I honestly get the feeling society is getting to the point where if you express any kind of interest in a person you're somehow a creepy rapist. I just don't get it.

Sad isnt It? No surprise we have so many 'forever-aloners' is because there is so much conflicting information that now a lot of guys are in a perpetual state of confusion when it comes to women.
 
Technically it's a breach of client data, but in this circumstance I would let it go and let a couple dates prove how crazy she may be. I mean, all she's doing is perhaps putting a shitty job on the line for a date - good story for the grand kids.

The OP is correct that if the genders were reversed, I would feel the exact opposite about the situation.

There is a major difference between using a phonebook to find someone's publicly listed number and going through private documents.

Report this to her superiors at once. Also your friend might want to lawyer up and consider a lawsuit against the owners of the store.

Satan, is that you ?
 
If she went out of her way to do that I'm sure she'll find creative ways to invade your friend's privacy in the future when they're dating.

I work at a doctors office. I ask pretty women for their address and phone number all day to update their records.

I would never use that information for personal reasons, its ethically wrong.

in your case though it's pretty much illegal or at least termination worthy.
 
Would it have ben creepier to search online/in a phone book if she had the person's name?

I understand it's certainly against store policy/data protection law but I don't think it's creepier than looking for the same information elsewhere

She could have asked one of your friend's colleagues for your friend number and it'd still be just a matter of source of information. To me it gets creepy only when there's a more obsessional/recurrent behaviour
 
I dont understand the problem.
If someone took the time and trouble to look me up, and contact me, I would feel really flattered.

How did that work out?
Click to expand...

She accepted my friend request without ever asking any questions. She wasn't shocked or creeped out. Never dated though. She had a BF.

There was another time where I gave a cute girl my phone number and name while I was warking the floor. She was baffled and later added me on FB and also sent me a message telling me she has a BF. She also told me she was really impressed and hoped to see me in different circumstances one day.

I'm guessing it all depends on who you are trying to contact, etc...
 
A gal I worked with once came on to me, and I passed because I was currently in a relationship. She eventually got my home number from work and started leaving messages there.

Had to tell her to not do that again, it was passingly creepy. My friends were taken aback, because the girl was just 21, hot, smart...a good catch. She was also creepy enough to get a phone number I didn't give her and leave messages on my home phone. My GF was pretty pissed. Can't say I blame her.

I have a weirder but similar story. A bunch of years ago, I got busted for a misdemeanor drug possession charge (just weed!) and while the lady cop was taking my details and processing me on the spot, we struck up a conversation about retro gaming because she was really into her NES and was sad that the internal connector had failed so I told her about how they sell refurbished ones and she was really excited to hear it.

After she had processed my case, she's legally obligated to send me her report by physical mail so I can protest in case I disagree and so on. Thing is, I don't think she's legally obligated to include a handwritten note with her phone number and a "call me any time :)"...

(I didn't call, it was just too bizarre. Also fuck the police.)

I don't know pal, a friend in the police would be useful. They can make a difference if you get caught during the War On The Drugzz. ;)

You should definitely do this if you're a terrible soulless person.
 
Did they go out?

I'd had gone out with her.

Hell, I'd go out with anything these days.

I'd go out with a bagel.

I'd fuck a bagel.

That's called a donut btw.

As far as I know, my personal information has not been leaked by the federal government. And even if it had been, I probably signed some EULA somewhere that gave them permission anyway. That is not a standard agreement for employment though.

I'd do it. People should not be giving out my numbers without my permission. It is a huge invasion of privacy and it is costing me money on my phone bill.

It's an invasion of privacy, true, but if you're suing for all of those going around nowadays you could spend your whole life wrapped up in court. I do keep forgetting Americans also have to pay for people contacting them but that still wouldn't warrant a lawsuit in my book.

You also seem to be contradicting yourself somewhat.

Do not listen to this advice. Suing an employer is going to be a black spot on your resume for a long time. Just recently, an attorney was black balled from the entire profession because he was working contract work for a big law company and sued just for over time hours. No one will hire him now. No one wants to hire a litigious employee.

I'd tell her I don't have a texting plan and demand she repay me the quarter. Perhaps over a cup of coffee?

I'm really curious about the opinion of everyone who says they are ok with this now but whether or not their opinions would be altered if the genders were reversed.

I wouldn't be suing the company, I would be suing her.

Also, before that gets spun around on me. I am not saying there is never a time to sue companies. There are some rights that I feel are too important not to sue over. Abuse being a primary among them. I would probably end up filing a police report against the company.

Man, just shut up. You're not going to sue someone over a goddamn text message.

Nothing has been leaked here either. If he has a problem with her contacting him this way, be a human and tell her that.

Suing someone for this is just asinine.

Yes. This whole "everything can be construed as creepy" bullshit is really getting old. As long as the line isn't crossed into harassment, it's fine. How is it so wrong if you pursue someone, ask if they're interested, and get your answer? If it's a yes, great. If it's a no, it's not a big deal.

There's nothing creepy about it. But there is something pathetic about the alarmist, hostile reactions against it. Anyone saying it's "creepy" for either gender needs to grow the fuck up and join the real world with us adults.
 
Cute girl goes to a bunch of trouble to ask him out and his reaction is he thinks she should be fired? Wtf is he, an HR robot?

She got the info from the company so I assumed they were logical targets as well. The shuri quote you agreed with also mentioned suing the owners for an easy payout.

I agreed with the concept. I would want to hold the company criminally liable for the actions. (Depends on the state code). I would get the easy pay day from the girl. Maybe I value my privacy and rights a little more than some people. I do not care if you are hot, you are not getting my number.

FYI you are misinformed and delusional. There is no easy payout. A judge would laugh you out of court. You'd also prove that you're a pathetic, small-minded tryhard.

Oh wait...
 
This happened to me at a hair salon. Girl who cut my hair got my name off my credit card receipt and Facebooked me. I was surprised to hair from her.

This also happened to a friend of mine. He got a text from the receptionist at his doctor's office. She said she got his number from his medical file and even mentioned that what she was doing was highly illegal and she could probably get fired for it. Women be shoppin', man.
