I (f20) work at a small clothing boutique, my manager is “Jacob” (M28,Jacob is gay, keep that in mind as its relevant to this story)
My boyfriend has visited me at the store few times and has met and talked to Jacob aswell. Jacob always tells me how my boyfriend is “sooo hot” and how he wishes he had a boyfriend as hot as mine. I don’t really pay too much mind to Jacob’s comments because that’s just his personality, he’s outgoing and just says what’s on his mind. My boyfriend has expressed to me that Jacob’s comments make him a lil uncomfortable because he’s not gay and Jacob has been openly flirty with him.
Today we got a new shipment of clothes so I was busy placing the tags on them and Jacob was just chilling at the cash registers. My phone was placed on the counter next to Jacob. As I’m placing tags , the store phone starts ringing so I pick it up. As I’m speaking to the customer, my personal phone also starts ringing (my boyfriend was facetiming me). I look down at my phone and as I was about to reject the facetime Jacob gives a me cheeky look and grabs my phone like he’s about to answer it. I yelled “Jacob no, don’t answer it.” He starts jokingly running around the counter, me chasing him. He eventually answered it anyway and was like “heyyy baby”
I quickly snatched my phone out of Jacob’s hand and told my boyfriend I’d call him back in a few minutes and I hung up the facetime. Keep in mind I was still on the phone with the customer while this commotion was going on. I apologized to the customer, helped her out and hung up the call. I look at Jacob (he was laughing about this) and I said “don’t do that again. Especially when I’m on the phone with a customer. That looked so unprofessional over the phone”.
Jacob said “omg!!! Just lighten up! I just wanted to talk to your boyfriend. I look good today I just wanted him to see me heheh!!”. I said “just don’t touch my phone, I don’t answer your phone without your permission. Also my boyfriend isn’t gay and you flirting with him like that makes him uncomfortable”. I didn’t say anything else and just went to the backroom of the store. Since that happened this morning there’s been some awkward tension in the store.
AITA for saying what I said?
