You know, the best friends I have at work talk shit constantly. I talk shit back. It's entertaining. Shit talking is a time honored man tradition. Just don't make it personal.

View Quote First, try to ignore it. Don't say anything about his family. Second, have some fun with it. Especially when it's just you and him. Tell him that there are so many hot women in (part time school). Brag about your hot girlfriend and your sex life. How you want to take her around town, but all she wants is sex, sex, sex. Show him a photo of her on your cell phone. SalesGuy: "Why aren't you married? You must be gay." Chase45: "I'm too young to be married. And I'm afraid of marrying some stupid woman that could turn into a fat pig in 10-20 years... " |

Your sister is pretty hot.
ha The ruling on the field stands, your life at the age of 24, is already far ahead of his with his ugly wife, druggie daughter and metal grandkid, so just keep his family out of it. Maybe he is resorting to all the gay jokes because he wants to smoke your pole. Next time he throws some gay jokes your way tell him "That is the 2nd gayest thing you've ever said to me", and when he says... "what was the first?" you say. "when you said, you love the way my dick feels in your ass" |

Pull him aside and in low gravely voice tell him the next time he even thinks about messing with you it will be time to take a ball bat to his knees.
Tell him you could care less about your job or jail time at this point and he has fucked with the wrong guy...... Do it right before lunch then At lunch go get your autographed local teams bat from your trunk you want to "display" in your office. Make sure he sees you do it.... |

OK revenge, HR compliant complaint and getting him shelved at least for a little bit rolled into one.
If you have a GF no biggy you are going to loop her in on it anyways so she keeps her yap closed. Find some gal that is like knock your fucking socks off hot, like Maxim chick hot that has no contact with him or his. She might be up for some prank action if it is on the up and up and since this fat closeted fag has no idea about your personal life hell get the GF in on the action also, have them bring you lunch and lay it on thick.. Chances are he will not be able to keep his fucking mouth SHUT and say something out of line, once he does you got him and they go file an HR complaint due to him representing their company in such a negative and hostile light. Slam dunk. You look like a dude of skill, he is gone and the earth has been salted and burned without burning bridges. |

You have to respond INDIRECTLY. Never come out and specifically say something about his wife or daughter. But say it in a way that he'll know that you were talking about his family, without you actually talking about his family.
He points out some fat chick for you to hit on... You say: "Man.. nobody at this table has a better eye for fat chicks than you!!" He points out a nasty chick... You say: Wow, you sure have a sharp eye for younger girls who are druggies! How do you do it?" Or... you start pointing out really, really fat chicks to him, and say. "Ohhh.. I bet you think she's hot!! Right??" Again... INDIRECTLY Eventually, he's going to get it, and ask "just what you mean by that?" You just smile at him, and then don't say a thing. |

Big ass dude is like an abused pitbull, kicked and abused, taunted and head-fucked to the point he's a menace instead of the gentle and protective family pet he could have been. Whether it's "his fault" or not, you still have to protect yourself from such animals. There's no way to tell if he is at the beginning, middle or end of his rope. Take care not to be his last straw unless you are allowed defensive carry at work.
I also must wonder what kind of earner he is. My experience (Call it the "Dr. Gregory House Principle") is that a person can be as annoying as they are useful. My experience is that most co's will pick the unprincipled major cash-cow over the decent hard-working guy of lesser value. If you are the latter, watch out! If that turns out to be the case, you could succeed at making it painful for them to continue allowing this, if you choose that route. But if he's an earner, the pain (financial) of making him stop would have your name on it. Do your recon before you potentially fuck with the wrong guy, even though he's the obvious motherfucker. Just another alternate tack: If he is the kicked-puppy, what a bloody-beautiful work of art it would be if you could find the REALLY high road and find a way to help with his major malfunction. I can't even begin to advocate that as the solution to this particular guy, since it's YOU there on the ground with him. Nor can I tell you HOW, but I have seen it. |

Whoever said fuck his daughter is brilliant. The broad is a single mother and former crackhead, so she's down to fuck for a handful of bucks. Just remember to cover up before doing that dirty whore. Then next time he points out a barker or calls you a homo, just whip out your phone, pull up the pics and say, "actually I found a new dirty fuck skank, what do you think?"

HR doesn't really sound like an option. This isn't some kind of office space environment. Here are a couple of solutions that can be run simultaneously.
1) You say he is a big guy, right? Well, make him even bigger. Bring in crispy kreme for him and all kinds of other junk. Make him huge, maybe his heart will pop. 2) Take a picture of him or somehow acquire one. Get an anonymous e-mail account like hush mail or something. Then post a craigslist ad in the personals of him looking for another dude, "Bear needs boy" or something to that effect. Then share said post on the internets....... |

my rule for shit talking is to always let other people start it, then I take it way farther that it should be taken. for example, my buddy in high school made fun of me for having big ears, I tore into him about how his parents were divorced because his dad hates him. so if I were you, start the shit talking. try to make him cry or assault you. if he cries, maybe he'll stop talking shit to you, if he gets mad, maybe he'll assault you and get fired, either way it might stop the shit talking.

I would take him aside and ask in an even keel tone to stop with the crap he says, from there report it to HR that as of x date you asked him to stop. That way it is on file that you asked him, if you go back to HR then game on.
Now a different scenario, even though he is married, next time he tells you go to pick up that girl, just say in front of everyone...... I understand you're married, but are you fantasizing about her since you are the one who noticed her? Watch the reaction of all at your table....it'll be good and guarantee everyone laughs except him. |

Chase,
Here is what you do. Invite him, and a few other guys to go shooting. Bring the SBR and let him see you do a mag dump into a target. I bet he never says another word to you again. Or do a mag dump before he has a chance to get his ear pro on and he won't be able to join the conversation anymore because he will be deaf. |

I'm a little on the fence about this being a troll thread actually.
But if this is true, OP. You need to up your "bullshit" game. You have to remember you work in a heavy equipment shop, not a florist shop with a bunch of women or at a big legal firm or a doctors office. You shovel parts at guys that trade, fix and sell big, dumb, greasy machines for their big, dumb, greasy owners, course language and rough humor are the norms. In fact, this game of "bullshiting" can be elevated to a craft if done right. I've seen true masters at work and it can be a glorious thing to behold. I bet our beloved member Piccolo here can sling it with the best. If this guy gives you a "rash of shit", then give it back. You're young, you're going to suck ass at it but you will get better at it with time. Worst part is that if this guy is in sales, then you have your work cut out for you as those guys, as a whole, are full of shit anyway. The deal is, you're taking everything far too personally and he's reveling in it. Yes, it's disrespectful and, yes he's a dick for doing it, but whoever told you life was fair was selling you something. And frankly, I'm disappointed in all the "run to HR" and "document, document, document" advise I'm seeing. If you've managed to piss someone off bad enough that they're waiting by your pickup with a baseball bat, then it's time to get HR involved, not because someone hurt your feelings. In these "rougher" industries, this is the equivalent of "I'm telling my mommy" and generally won't end well. If you have a sales guy that brings in a couple of million in sales every quarter that's giving crap to some parts guy that's acting like a little twat about it. Guess who's going to disappear. Again... life isn't fair. A few pointers: Just remember that you're a young guy at that weird age where you're starting to know your stuff, but no one will give you any respect for it. Every man goes through this rite of passage. It'll get better with time, you'll see. Quit taking his bullshit so personally. Think of it as a stupid game to pass the time. Give it back. If he's as dumb as you say he is, then you should be able to end run him. DO NOT get your GF involved. It's your duty to protect your honor, not hers, bathroom breaks or not. You also need to be able to tell where the limits are, if you start tearing into his family, (wife and kids are normally off limits) he might just be waiting for you out by your pickup with a baseball bat. Then you can call HR. |

With what you've told us I'm thinking the big gregarious guy is a valuable asset to the company. He probably relates very well to customers in the heavy equipment culture.
I also think he likes you and considers you a sort of little brother who he can fuck around with, or as the young mellow guy in the company he can toughen up and bring you into that culture. The VP probably understands all this and also knows you aren't comfortable with that type of culture so the only advice he knows is to just ignore it. I was not comfortable with that type of social interaction when I was young. Then I joined the USMC. I learned fast, but I didn't have choices. Did you say you've considered looking for a new job? I wouldn't go around telling people if you do start looking but as soon as the first request for a reference comes into the company from a potential new employer word will spread fast and things may change, if they value your work. If things do not change maybe you aren't a good fit. Just my .02 |

My guess is he sees you as young and weak. I'd run with the gay thing and take it as far as I could. HR is gonna love harassment on an actual gay, he'll be run out on rails.
