JR East employee sexually harassed visually impaired female passenger

No respect.

Creep of the year award winner,you reading this ,you do be one

The employee was quoted as saying he thought he was being "friendly" because he often comes in contact with the woman, but now regrets his actions.

This idiot has a strange way of being friendly.

will be dealt with strictly, JR East said.

Just fire the creep!

Is it possible he genuinely liked her?

The employee has already been removed from customer service duties and will be dealt with strictly, JR East said.

So, what does that mean? A deduction in salary with a low "Gomen nasai" bow? I don't think so. Expose the guy and fire him. If JR doesn't do anything and he stays in the company, than sue the guy for harassment.

A guy likes a girl??? What is the world coming to!!!!

This is NOT sexual harrassment. An invitation to a Ramen shop? Nah.

It may not be allowed during work hours, BUT don't just loosely call things sexual harrassment.

He broke customer service guidelines. Sexual harassment could mean jail time.

MissO,just because a man like a woman,does not mean she like him ,they had a professional relationship,not a romantic relationship

Jokes are not appreciated in Japan. I like the piggy back one. Made my morning.

Yrral, people are not robotic (ironically exactly what Japanese workers often get accused of)

They were meeting regularly over the course of months. You don't not develop a relationship with people just because you meet them while you are working.

CarlosTakanakana - Is it possible he genuinely liked her?

Sure. It's fairly obvious. It's also irrelevant.

miss_oikawa - A guy likes a girl??? What is the world coming to!!!!

In this particular instance, it came to the guy saying unwanted pervy stuff to the girl.

They were meeting regularly over the course of months. You don't not develop a relationship with people just because you meet them while you are working.

It's pretty obvious by her reaction that she didn't develop a relationship with the person.

And, saying stuff like, "Isn't your chest heavy? I can carry it for you" or "I can give you a piggyback ride if you use the stairs" isn't really appropriate while you are working, is it?

"Isn't your chest heavy? I can carry it for you,"

Oh please.

Maybe you should take him up on it.

Miss,O l know a lots of women,I visit every day,while shopping,you develop a casual relationship with them,they share lives ,about their children with you and other aspects of their ,I have groups of Black, Hispanic and White women and a few Asian women,a group of women gave me a bags of presents for Christmas,men and women have platonic relationship in America,were boundaries are known

If the woman was blind she could have screamed. If she was deaf as well, she could not scream and, she would have been at his mercy. This evil man has earned a thirty year free board and lodging term in a 2 meter x 4 meter metalled room with no windows provided by the Japanese government.

The employee has already been removed from customer service duties and will be dealt with strictly, JR East said.

The way to HAVE ALREADY dealt with this was to have fired him when he admitted to the allegations, like, on the spot! The story could now be reading Former JR East employee sexually harassed visually impaired female passenger

Considering disciplinary action against the employee

Considering?

Way to pick out the most innocent comment. Read the rest of it, buddy. Especially the part about her chest.

Fool has no game, he has to hit on blind women he's put in charge of.

At least come up with some pimp lines, not blatant virgin come ons.

I mean she can't see, but I'm sure she has a policy against dating creepy scrubs.

Yeah.....levels of weird vibes from this perv. How are you gonna try to take advantage of a visually impaired woman when she asked for help? Turn the tables on him!

Especially the part about her chest.

But that doesn't translate in Japanese. In English there's a double entendre but there isn't in Japanese so I can only assume it was a genuine question.

In Japanese he said 胸重くない？

If you don't think that has the double entendre of meaning breasts, you don't know Japanese as well as you think you do.

Like I said there's no double entendre there. If that's what he said there's no connection with carrying a bag, it just means breasts.

I don't think you are following the conversation. The original comment:

This is NOT sexual harrassment. An invitation to a Ramen shop? Nah.

The response:

The response was clearly that the part about her chest was creepy, to which you seemly contradicted by starting your comment with 'but':

But that doesn't translate in Japanese. In English there's a double entendre but there isn't in Japanese so I can only assume it was a genuine question.

Now you've done a 180 and are agreeing that the comment about her chest was creepy.

Because if you were following you would have realised through the use of the words "double entendre" I was assuming he had made a play on words, not supposedly been referring to her breasts. If he had used the word "mune" there is no doubt.

Having looked at the Japanese original, this translation left out the crucial "Shall I give you a piggyback?", obviously reffering to her, not a bag.
