It's important that you document a hostile work environment, meaning any comments, actions, or touching that you feel are inappropriate. These types of comments, for them to be actionable, have to be based on either your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, or another type of protected category. These actions or comments must be documented, whether or not you think that there's anything there, or whether or not you ever even plan doing anything about them. The type of information you want to include is the date, time, the circumstance, where it took place, who said it, what they said, and the gist of what they said. If you remember any quotes, you should include them.
