I am both livid and embarrassed.

Two of my colleagues, whom I shall name A and L, got it into their head that I am interested in M, the IT manager. M is a nice enough guy, but I am not attracted to him, and every time A and L have brought it up I have said this.

Well, A and L obviously decided they knew better than I did what I think, and told M I was interested in him. M then approached me this evening, and had to be told that unfortunately, he had got the wrong idea.

A and L then received an earbashing from me. M doesn't deserve to be embarrassed. Neither, come to think of it, do I.

sotadragon:
Wow.  I'm sorry that happened to you.  And to M.  Could A and L be a little bit more jr high about this???  ::)  I didn't think adults acted like that, especially at work!

Clara Bow:
I don't mean to go off half-cocked here, but sexual harrassment much? Their behavior was WAY over the line and I think I'd have a talk with the boss about putting the kibosh on it in the future....

supernova:
Wow.   :o  Two, two, two faux pas in one! 

That was a rude and thoughtless thing to have done to you.  And it was a heartbreakingly embarrassing thing to have done to M.  Worse, it will color your working relationship with him, and he will be hard pressed not to believe that A. and L. were having a little joke at his expense.

These two junior-high-school refugees could really use a clue-by-four.  I'm so sorry this happened to you!

I think they should get more than an ear-bashing for this. But ::sigh:: that would be rude. ::)
Their behaviour is bad enough *out* of the office. In a work environment, this is just inexcusable. You might want to go to your supervisor, or HR, just to make sure these twits got the message.
