How to Shoot Down Sketchy Guys

Writing in the Globe and Mail, David Eddie gives advice to a female reader who is being harassed by a client at work.

Writing in the Globe and Mail, David Eddie hears from a reader who is being harassed by a client at work.  The reader writes:

I work in the advertising section of a small newspaper. One of the regular clients we have gives me, all the other employees and even my boss (the only male in the department) the creeps. Every week when this client comes in to place his ad he only wants to deal with me, and, more importantly, he calls me names like “sweetie.” My boss knows how uncomfortable this client makes me feel, so he'll offer to assist the client, only to be told things like, “That's okay, I have this cute young thing to help me.” Other than the fact that it makes me uncomfortable and angry, I find it entirely rude, disrespectful and inappropriate. What can I say to this client? I don't want to be rude myself, but I want to make my message clear.
