Whats the worst that could happen?

Nothing wrong at approaching somone you like, introducing yourself and asking them out.
One tip.... don't use the words sexual harassment in the first sentance when meeting somone....
- It's not awesome to ask someone out when they're working, but it's not harassment unless it's repeated.
- Right, and while at work hahaha. Could you go up to anyone who looks less receptive? What is this comic, just ragebait?

I mean, no, it isn’t. It is if she says no and you keep at it.
- No, it is.
  
  Simply asking someone for their number is not harassment.
  Repeatedly asking for someone’s number after being told no is.
  There isn’t any nuance to this situation.
  
  I hope you just have a feminine sounding name and you're not a real life woman with this opinion.
  
  No, it isn't.
  If there was a frame of her saying no, but then he doesn't leave her alone, then sure.
  
  Quiet, incel.

  Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).

Probably the most pathetic cartoon I've ever been shown. Author needs real world experiences.
- Yeah, it seems as if it was created by a "nice guy" incel. I don't get it.
  
  Did not get that impression at all. To me it seems like basically the same thing as the "What have you done, Billy?" and "dumbest man alive" memes. Something relatably annoying followed by a hyperbolic "haha if only" response.
- Not following. We're laughing at the comic, right? It's a funny situation.
  Or is the author some creep?
  
  Harassment is continuing once being told "no." There are a few frames missing from that comic for it to count as harassment.
  
  It would seem the author is conflating sexual harassment with random flirting with women. It also sends the message that the author thinks it should be okay to flirt with random women as they go about their day/job, which is inappropriate, creepy, and annoying. He should probably try treating women like humans and develop a healthier sense of boundaries. He might have better luck.
  
  The male character is a creep
  
  Don't flirt with people when they're working. It's gross and predatory because they're basically a captive audience.

Men is too headache

Unless I'm missing an entire frame, this seems extremely unreasonable, likely illegal, even if that guy is a douche.
- She's a cop, you think they need a legit reason to arrest someone?
  
  Sigh. I'll go get the bootlicker insult ready.
  
  Ooh Lemmy checklist
  ✔️ Cops bad [ ] Capitalism bad [ ] Windows OS bad
  
  She is not a cop, she is a drawing, everything else is in your mind. Imagine arguing against Mona Lisa.
- i think that's the joke
  
  The funny part is this comic pits misogynist douche against fascist enforcer.
  Reminds me of how some communities in hick ass northern California came out in support BLM, because while they may hate black people, they hate cops even more.
  
  Is it? Seems like a Tumblr joke at best.

That's not sexual harassment, but it is abuse of power lol
- Abuse of power for a random guy at the DMV to ask out a cop?

I mean... maybe don't get 2.5 inches away from her face while rubbing your chest up against her shoulder?
Probably best not to club her on the head and drag her back to your cave either - at least, not without prior consent :-P.
- I can't afford a cave.
  
  Sigh... yeah.:-(

Dang this comment section is depressing.
- Welcome to lemmy. It's all basement dwelling dudes.
  
  Hey! I'm in my aunt's living room!
  
  That's not true! My basement flooded.
  
  Fact

I smiled at her by the photocopier. Now I'm facing chemical castration.
- It is the DMV. Pretty sure anyone smiling at the DMV is a psychopath.

I like my version better.

Failed rizz. 😔

Maybe don’t have your erect penis pressing against them when you ask?
- Dude, the penis isn't drawn, so we can't tell how long it is, but if they somehow manage to press their penis against the cop from where they stand, that has got to be at least twice the current (alleged) world record...
  I would say this is likely physically impossible.
  
  It’s a joke. You really put some research into a comment reply to a fucking joke comment. Bravo

Guys... its a fuckin joke... you're reading into this comic too much
- Except it's becoming what a lot of people want. Jokes that hit too close to the sad truth aren't funny.
  See? Right in these fucking comments. LMAO!
  
  Again, the strip is a joke, and you and the person you are screen capping are taking it too seriously. Buddy hits on a cop terribly, buddy ends up in jail.... thats the joke

well, is it?
- Telling her she's beautiful and asking for her phone number once is not sexual harassment. Continuing to do so after she has made it clear she isn't interested is.
  However, it does look like he's either looming over her or about to put his arm around her. That's definitely not ok.
  
  He is standing side-on to the officer, one hand presumably resting against some surface (a wall) and the other hand on his hip.
- there might be a case if you could convince a court that by stating "is it X if I..." you are aware that the actions could potentially construe X.
  
  Everything can possibly be construed as X.
- Technically, no. However, when an officer is at their post in uniform, interfering with their work is a punishable offence.
- No, they just take their BDSM roleplay really seriously.
- The last two people who said no got downvoted to the negatives so I’ll say maybe and see if I can stay at 0.
  
  I feel like a yes also gets downvoted, so you won the game nj
- It's not, but when she rejected him he hit her. That's why he got arrested.
  
  I don't seem to see that panel. I only see the one where he got instantly angry and called her names.
