She was Jewish. For Christmas, I made Irish shortbread as a gift for everyone in the department. I gave her a batch, and she ate most of it that day. I also sent her a card, acknowledging she didn't celebrate Christmas, but I wanted to share the spirit of the season.
When I eventually fired her, in her lawsuit she brought this up as being somehow 'offensive' and religious discrimination. Our Human Resources department eventually settled with her. Just to get her to go away.
This happens all the time. There is no 'there' there.
I was a young corporal in the Marine Corps adn was training a young lady as my replacement in the battalion adjustant’s section. I was set to leave in a few months. I had to bust her chops on several occasions for continually making dumb mistakes in processing change of station orders for several Marines. On one occasion we both were sitting opposite each other at a table going over procedures, when I felt her leg brushing mine. It was very obvious that it was deliberate on her part. I knew what she was up to and moved out of reach. After my rejection of her advances, she literally hated me with a passion and avoided speaking to me altogether unless absolutely necessary.
