    One of the girls who work for me brought 50 shades of grey and was reading it during her breaks. I have never read the book but know thats pretty much a porno novel. Cant decide if i should say something or let it go. Worst part is she asked me if i ever read it and then when i said no, she started insisting i "have to read it". In fact shes been telling everyone in the place to read it.

    You should just let everyone read it and then you can all do a few scene re-enacments....

    I would fire somebody who read that in my office.

    Not because of the sexually explicit content, but because it's f***ing stupid as s***.

    I'm not sure it's entirely appropriate to bring a book like that to a laundromat.

    Female orgasm fantasies don't belong in a Nail Salon.

    Shes from a section of the area that heavily leans towards white trash. Very nice girl normally though. Its not really a convo i want to have with a 16 year old girl, so im hoping she is a fast reader and goes back to her usual hunger games fare.

    And screw you drummer lol

    How is this bothering you exactly?

    Just let her read her book when she has the available time.

    Honestly it really shouldnt bother me at all since im sure the jackie collins books has the same fare. The problem is the noteriety of 50 shades. Its almost like the equivalent of someone whipping out a playboy and reading it.

    I guess a more appropriate analogy would be if someone was reading sex stories online at work
