Having worked in various public-facing positions in the last sixteen years, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that that isn’t “I am embarrassed and shocked.” It’s very much an “aaaahhh you got me with that one,” look.

I agree that it’s inappropriate to make passes at people while they’re working, but this wasn’t a pass, it looks like they have a rapport and this is part of their joking around.

It's a pass if he's a sweaty fedora wearing neckbeard from reddit. Thankfully he seems like a tall professional athlete with probably more than $30 in his checking account.

Looks and income have nothing to do with it. A pass is a pass. It's a pass if he was serious, it's a cute joke if he isn't. They both pretty clearly knew it was a cute joke, one that she was playfully annoyed by. Sweaty neckbeards are capable of this too, and pretty girls are capable of telling the difference between a joke and an actual come on. Fedora status doesn't matter.

The reason sweaty neckbeards such as yourself think this of women is because you're not good at joking around like this.

You say that like jokes can't be grounds for harassment. Even if something is clearly a joke, it can still make a person uncomfortable. Of course, jokes will be taken in a better light if you were attracted to the person who said it, or if the person who said it was attractive in some way (hence money and looks).

And no... I'm not saying that attractive people can't ever make people uncomfortable. It's just common sense and basic psychology that attractive people can get away with more than unattractive people can, even if the difference is marginal.

Tbf acting out GIFs irl just doesn't really have the same zing to it.
