work (-), gender bs 

At work I'm working on a laptop that the customer has decorated with flowery/sparkly pink/purple stickers. I thought nothing of it, but it seems like *every* coworker who walked by had to comment and/or make a joke about it. It really got under my skin. I don't even like flowery things usually, but that's not the point. The point isn't that they were mocking something I liked, they were mocking something that I, as a still mostly male presenting person, should never like.
