Anyone from the UK?

We used to be able to laugh at each other once. Banter used to make a boring work day go more quickly.
At my previous employers, a guy in one of the other offices, who was about my age, got sacked for "Sexual Harassment" and was also reported to the police. Sounds really bad.

He was talking to a 20 something year old girl, he was seated, but turned facing her, she dropped something and quickly bent to pick it up.

He said "while you're there!"

Less than an hour later he was being escorted off premises.

That’s not “banter”, though?

I dont know, banter is the friendly exchange of teasing remarks.

He wasnt being horrible and he was in a jokey way saying something that I've heard said many times in my life.
