don't know if this counts as 'bad'

but I once worked for a white haired rather round man who would sit in the 'loft' of our boardwalk store all day and smoke pot. He'd then emerge in the afternoon to berate us for 'stand around doing nothing' and not verbally assaulting the customers.
He also would sit on the front porch and make lewd comments about the girls walking by to anyone who was withing ear shot or elbow-nudging range.
Also kissed me rather sloppily on the cheek a couple of times when I'd made a big sale, and would tell me to 'wear skirts' and my glasses more often. It was all pretty icky, and amounted to sexual harassment now that I think about it...

definately bad. . .

but could always be worse. Yeah, lots of stuff seems like sexual harrassment in retrospect. At the time, my boss at the pizza-delivery place telling me that my job was history if I didn't tell him what I thought about in my--ahem--private moments--I was out of a job to be merely nose-breaking impetus. So I did, and damn, if it wasn't satisfying.

I'm sure I'm being anti-feminist by saying this

but he was harmless, really (although the kisses upset me quite a bit at the time)
everyone just accepted it as one of his "quirks" although I'm sure if he'd even hinted at taking a step farther into old pervert territory we'd have had him before some board or council of some sort
