Text: 12 The district court described the post-June 16, 1994 incidents at the plant as follows: 13 (1) Other employees called plaintiff bouncing Betty or flopping Frieda in reference to her breasts very numerous times, all the way up till the day [she] left the place on November 21, 1994. (2) Between the first of June and mid-July in 1994, graffiti about plaintiff appeared on a wall in a men's bathroom at the plant where plaintiff worked. [Mr.] Elliott ... told plaintiff about the graffiti and stated to her, Well, you fucked me and--and now you fucked Dale ... and now Justin [Marco, another employee]. (3) From July through September of 1994, graffiti appeared numerous times in the men's room. Examples of the graffiti included Patty gives good head, ask Dale McGinnis; Patty gives good head, ask Ralph McGinnis; Patty three, union one; Patty sucks a big dick; Patty sucks a good dick, just ask Ralph; and Patty sucks a big dick. On a couple of occasions after she was told about the graffiti, plaintiff was permitted to go [to] the men's room to observe it for herself. (4) On August 18, 1994, plaintiff was told about graffiti in the plant's oil room, in foot-high yellow letters, stating Patty blew me here. (5) Until September of 1994, a large number of employees made comments to plaintiff about the various graffiti. Plaintiff testified that it was just general shop talk at that point to make fun of it. In general, the employees wanted to know if [plaintiff] performed the acts that were listed on the bathroom wall. Plaintiff's co-workers asked her such questions as Do you really do things like that?, Is that how you got your job? and Did you fuck your way to the top? (6) In July of 1994, Ron Thurston ... again started in with his 'what made me hot' comments and--and telling [plaintiff] how good [she] looked, [she] looked good enough to eat. Mr. Thurston [i]nformed [plaintiff] that he had had his wife shave his crotch because she ended up with pubic hair in her teeth, and made other comments of that nature. (7) On August 18, plaintiff endured more verbal abuse from Thurston: Mr. Thurston had started in with more of his comments about my body and what made me hot, what turned me on. Those were his favorite questions to ask me. If I could suck a golf ball through a garden hose at 150 feet. He discussed blow jobs, things he did to his wife. Just things of that nature. 14 Baty, 985 F.Supp. at 992 (alterations modified) (footnotes omitted).
