How Do You Say "No Legal Standing" in Swedish?

A Swedish receptionist has been sacked for sexual harassment after her boss heard that she told a male client he was good-looking.

"I joked with a client about how handsome he was," the receptionist told the daily Sydsvenska Dagbladet.

The man said he had not been offended by the woman's remark.

It is not uncommon in Sweden for women to accuse men of sexual harassment, but the opposite is rare.

The woman's employer declined comment, said the newspaper, which did not identify the company or the people involved.


So, what the heck does the boss care if the customer was not offended?? Whatever happened to minding one's own business? Or was this a case of trying to justify the injustices already done to men?
