An IT worker sued her boss for sexual harassment after believing his use of "xx", "yy", and "????" in an email asking for more information was a coded way of asking for sexual relations.
Karina Gasparova also claimed that when Alexander Goulandris renamed a work file with his initials 'ajg' it was an abbreviation of "A Jumbo Genital".
The employment tribunal at London Central Court said Ms Gasparova's perception of events was "skewed".
Her claims were rejected.
Ms Gasparova was a project manager at the London office of essDOCS, a company that provides "paperless trade solutions".
She took the firm to the tribunal claiming sexual harassment, discrimination and unfair dismissal.
The tribunal heard she believed her superior, Mr Goulandris, was "trying to chat her up" when discussing business on work calls, and claimed he would stare at her.
It was also claimed that email correspondence from Mr Goulandris insinuated a desire to "engage in sexual acts".
Presented as evidence, the email from Mr Goulandris read:
"Can you please complete the following:
The solution us currently used by xx Agris companies and yy Barge lines in corn cargoes in south-north flows in the ???? waterways.
Also, can you remind me of what the balance of the rollout will be and the approx. timing.
Thanks"
Ms Gasparova, who represented herself, argued the 'xx' referred to kisses, 'yy' to sexual contact and '????' as a coded way of asking "when she would be ready" to engage in sexual acts.

The claims from Ms Gasparova were called a "skewed perception of everyday events" by the tribunal panel, which also said she "demonstrated a tendency to make extraordinary allegations without evidence".
Ms Gasparova's claims of sexual harassment, discrimination and unfair dismissal were rejected and she was ordered to pay £5,000 costs to essDOCS.

My basic rule of thumb: women are crazy.
Hey! Hey! You're treading quite carelessly on some of my best trade!
You can’t fix stupid, but it can sue you anyway.
That bitch is cra-cra.
I surely hope her office’s dimensions aren’t 6 meters by 9 meters.
Now that she missed out on the big pay day the best job that she can obtain is as a waitress or call girl.
Dumb@zz.
This is why guys no longer even want to date. So many crazy women out there today.
The ruling was a wink....they all wanted her....
At least with the last one the xx, yy and ???? will actually mean what she thought here.
How nature says, “Don’t touch”
Some people (men and women) mistake every smile, word, or gesture as flirting.
If you say a friendly hello, these kinds of people will think you want them.
Whacko.
Seen a few types like that. Generally pre-some kind of obvious flakiness/psychological/mental disorder. If you ask them if they like steak, they think the next question is to ask for a dinner date and that by referring to meat...you mean “you know what”.
And here we have a parallel with AOC
