call his manager. He needs to have consequences for his actions or he might do it again. OR WORSE.
please?

wow
ew
what they all said, let the mgr know!!!
Don't be embarrassed! ( that is what is wrong with our culture!!) Be mad. He's the one that should feel that way. I would call the manager and MAKE AN APPOINTMENT so they know you are serious.

for moral support. And besides, the abuser is probably going to say "she asked for it." It will be harder to make that statement with the boyfriend sitting there because HE knows how hard it's been for her.

Because having her man present will 1) give her emotional support and 2) to keep the manager from brushing her off.

Fuji, that stinks. +1 to reporting him, and I sure hope you find a new mechanic soon.
I'm with the ones who say don't bring your boyfriend to talk to the manager. I TOTALLY get the desire for moral support, but chances are the manager will take you less seriously if it appears you're not there on your own.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

um... I would hate to sound like I'm somehow supporting harassment or something, but to me he just sounds like a besotted idiot with bad impulse control, not some creepy jerk who does this to women all the time. I feel sorry for the guy. And of course - double sorry for fujichants who has to deal with it all.

I guess I am just surprised at that. While I don't disagree, I do think we need to stand up for ourselves and not be dependent on that man waiting in the wings to back us up. To me its' simple enough, if you aren't believed, you go straight to the cops and file a sexual harrassment/assault charge. It's much more empowering to take care of this stuff on your own.
