I didn't learn...
a week or so later, I was in the customer site, and was rather appalled that a male exec swatted a secretary on the bum as she walked by... I said this to someone else - only i didn't use the word bum, I used the word fanny... they were shocked - apparantly hitting on the bum was ok behavior - elsewhere was not.. they finally explained to me what fanny meant...
