Librarians can disregard sexual harassment guidelines and policies whenever a coworker gets a boob job. An event this scandalous makes discussion of cup sizes, nipples, coworkers' breasts (or lack thereof), nicknames for breasts, great breasts in history, breasts you have known, etc., perfectly acceptable topics of conversation. Be aware that this window of opportunity closes once the person returns from their surgery.
Note: It is never acceptable to grope a coworker without their consent.

Dear Etiquetters-- You seem to be drifting away from library reality. At what library do librarians make enough money for boob jobs? (Okay, I haven't priced them, but I can't imagine they're as cheap as, say, generic cat food.)
Similarly, at what library are librarians tempted to grope their coworkers? I'm more tempted to back away slowly.
What rules apply when the library director "encourages" a high-ranking library deputy (and "special friend" of the director) to undergo cosmetic (oops, I meant "medically necessary") surgery on the deputy's nose?
Yes, sadly, such a post is all too relevant to library work and etiquette, especially at our library. Though, when the person returns from said boob job, do you compliment them on their new additions?
Seems that part of the answer to "Laura's" question is whether or not everyone officially knows the reason for co-worker's hospital visit. If it was supposed to be secret, then the correct reaction is something along the lines of "Say, have you lost weight?"
Secret my a$$, there is no such thing amongst library folk. I was thinking more along the lines of "nice rack - is it new?"
Unstricken, you couldn't be more wrong, my friend (well, except maybe about the groping).
A former co-worker is rumored to have had a boob job and we spent a whole day smirking and speculating as to her new cup size.
Please post before and after pics!
May we please have some talk about penile enhancements/enlargements so we are not being so ... so ... SEXIST!
um ... yeah
Two thoughts on that. First, most cosmetic surgery is done on women because of that very fact: sexism. Secondly, who says boob jobs are just for women!?
I just met a guy in Document Delivery who was a total boob, -so they do exist.
Ooooo! Boobies!
There's no such excitement at my library.
umm . . . the only librarian *I* know that had a boob job had them reduced!
It's been almost a month with no new etiquette tips - I'm starting to go into withdrawal; you gotta fix me up!
Yeah, then when I see a patron
and try to answer the question,
the only thing going through my
mind would be:
