YIKES!! Don't go!!


Ok, so Thursday we had a "team builder" at work. We went to the Mystery Mansion Murder Dinner Theatre, (http://www.mysterymansion.com/index_magic.shtml) which looked like fun, but don't ever go! There were so many sexual innuendos! This was during the day and with my co-workers! Yikes! First of all, we all sat at tables and were served salad, and the characters were walking around (all ready in character) and was making us do stupid things. I was picked on from the very beginning at my table and no one else was. The magician (a dirty, stinky, sweaty, old man) kept coming around to me and making me stand up at the table and do little things to embarrass me, would return and place his cape around me and kiss my head, then he would kiss my cheeks, and even feed me dinner. Of course is was kind of funny, and my friends loved it that he was picking on me and not them. Anyway, the show begins, and the magician --Mostly Magnificent Steve gets up there and tells everyone that he will be looking for a new assistant...yes, you got it! He comes out and gets me! oh my! I was so nervous! Anyway, I get up there and had to hold up a bull's eye because he was going to throw swords at me (but he made me hold the bull's eye in front of my face so I couldn't see what was going on). He told me not to peek, and every time I tried he started to get mad at me. So I was looking out in the audience and asking my friends "what he is doing" because I couldn't see and they kept telling me to duck down. So I was playing along and doing that...next thing I know the trick is interrupted by another character, and Steve calls her the "b" word to me and I was like what the??? So, he helps me down the steps to go back to my seat, then he starts pinching my butt! I screamed, turned my butt the other way, and walked backwards to my seat! I was so embarrassed! He continued to harass other people and me throughout the entire show. Now the other characters were just as bad and rubbing their chests in the boys faces, and so on and so on. It was a funny, yet inappropriate thing for a work environment. Don't go! It was nasty! (The picture I have isn't posting on here...I'm hoping my friend sends me some she took) :)
Sorry for the long post, but I was traumatized by the entire thing!

It's kind of funny when you say "don't go, it's nasty", then you follow that up with " sorry, my pictures won't load"

anyways, that is really lame and basically harrassment.

Eww... you should write the owners a letter and tell them how you felt. They shouldn't allow that kind of stuff. That sounds WAY over the top. The characters should know when enough is enough. Sorry you had to deal with that.
