"Fixing" a PROBLEM!

During the dinner at our office trip a couple of weeks ago, one of the men in the office had gotten intoxicated and was shouting, "I love you. I love you" while hitting me on my back. I told him "No, you don't love me. Love and and like are very different." I asked him not to touch me and he stopped but he kept shouting. He asked how the two were different so we had a quick English lesson. After that he kept asking me (still shouting) why I would't say it back. Then his crazy self stood, and demanded that I say it back because he's the "Boss." I looked him square in the face and said "No, he's the boss," and I pointed to the supervisor of the whole office. He he did like a "forget him/I'll hit him" gesture, so I pulled out my camera and said, "Go for it?" So, he walks over to the man, sits, and chats for a minute then comes back...still wanting to know why I wouldn't say it back. He finally sat down next to me and continued to shout so I moved my seat over some. When he put his arm over the back of my chair and I just knew that I was going to lose it very very soon. I realized that my supervisor was not going to do anything, so I got up and walked out of the dining room. That type of behavior is inappropriate and unacceptable. I tried to be very ummmm "culturally sensitive" by turning and ignoring him, when under normal circumstances that would have been a "IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY FACE" moment. Instead of stepping in and saying something, my supervisor just sat around and watched, giggling and translating...like a stupid puppet. I don't understand why they think it's ok to act like that. The office party culture is sick in that people feel that thanks to alcohol and being out of the office they can say whatever they want to you. I don't entertain personal questions or being "hit on" under normal circumstances, and I'm certainly not about to deal with nasty old married men who think that's ok. When we got back to the office, the man said bye to me and I just looked at him like he was crazy.

The following Monday, I told my supervisor how I felt about the situation. I didn't expect him to do anything about it but I felt that it was important for him to know that it was an inappropriate and uncomfortable situation and I didn't appreciate how he just sat there and watched. He said that he would talk to the guy...who by the way is my supervisor's boss. He spoke to him and called me to say that the man wanted to apologize to me the next time that I was in the office. Well today was my lucky day. My supervisor came to me and asked if I would go with him to one of the meeting rooms. With a super sad face the man was like "I'm sorry I acted like that. I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I will never behave like that again. I hope we can continue to be friendly. Please forgive me. I'm really really sorry," all while bowing over and over. So, I just looked at him and nodded my head as my supervisor translated. I really wanted to tell him to get a life and never speak to me, but I suppose that would have been slighly (hehehe) inappropriate. Needless to say, I don't have any intention to really talk to him. Sadly, he's been put in the box with the other idiot in this office who I can't stand.
