whilst talking to me briefly at work today! She couldn't get her eyes of them...

And I checked, there's no food spilt down my top or anything.

And I am not wearing a "too revealing" top or anything

And my rack really isn't that impressive - even in pregnancy.

Was really quite unnerving...

Deepheat Did you hear about the woman who found a bat in her bra? she'd had it there all day and didn't notice..

Anyway, I always look, I'm straight and female. It isn't sexual I just look because I know I shouldn't and can't help not looking IFYSWIM?

RoxieP · 12/11/2010 13:02

I wish I had perky/great-shaped/nipply ones, but no not really. And yes she may be gay, which is fine, but men don't really tend to stare at them much anyway tbh. And, as a woman herself, you would have thought she would realise how obvious it is when someone is staring at something well below your face! You can kind of forgive men as they just don't realise how obvious they're being...And she really did STARE the whole time we were talking!

No, no black bras under white tops (please!) or 4 boobies going on either. It's a mystery!

And perfumedlife that's just blatant sexual assault! I did actaully have someone try to "feed my pony" once on the tube and I was very disturbed - particulalry as I couldn't even make out who it was as the carriage was so crowded and everyone was getting off at a station...

And mysteryfairy no I don't think it was you as I'm behind a reception des!. And I'm wearing a modest round neck M&S black jumper...they don't even sell things that could be deemed low cut!

evildead Don't really know what to say, seems unbelievable really. How did it get there? I need to know.

By the same token, my DW is now well into pregnancy with DC2 and keeps on losing stuff. Its always the first place I suggest she looks. Even when she's forgotten where she parked the car.

DameGladys · 12/11/2010 13:12

I've got it - one of the those eye issues where you appear to be looking slightly away from what you're actually focussing on.

Unfortunate for her that she's always looking at boobage when it feels like she's making warm and friendly eye contact.

RoxieP · 12/11/2010 13:14

Hhhhmmmmm.... Never noticed that she had two lazy eyes before - but it's a hypothesis Hmm

Next time she talks to you, wait till she turns to leave then mutter 'nice arse' under your breath.

That should flush her out :)

deepheat · 12/11/2010 13:31

Maybe she has really heavy pupils, so its just quite an effort to keep looking straight ahead?

P.S. Can I just say that this thread is proving to be an invaluable mine of excuses for me to use the next time I get caught indulging in this heinous act. Sincere thanks to everybody. I look forward to the day when I can say, "no my dear, of course I wasn't staring at those, it's the bat that's just tucked in there between them... cute little thing really...."

JamieLeeCurtis · 12/11/2010 13:33

I notice boobs (I don't think I stare though)

Is she quite nervous - finds it difficult to look at people when she talks to them?

miniwedge · 12/11/2010 13:38

Hmm, well I suppose a bat is a variation on the old puppies theme.......

Am lol at heavy pupils. Grin

WhatsWrongWithYou · 12/11/2010 13:39

Last summer, on holiday, one of the women who worked at the resort used to clock mine every time we passed or spoke.

Very un-nerving - in fact, she'd often blatantly look me up and down from head to toe.

I was somewhat puzzled as, although I knew where she was coming from, like someone else said, you'd think another woman would know that this would cause discomfort.

And she seemed like a really nice woman, the sort of person who'd be considerate about a thing like that.

Gay40 · 12/11/2010 14:00

I've found that in general, women don't mind other women checking them out - probably because they don't notice or realise that is what is happening. They do object more when men do it. Maybe it is all in the subtlety?

JJ · 12/11/2010 14:05

Oh the shame - I did this to a colleague's wife once - mind was drifting and I was thinking about cashmere jumpers, pilates and posture, nothing remotely sexual. She looked great with had excellent posture without that "wielding an ample bosom" look that women sometimes have and I think the jumper was from Brora (lovely jumper).

sapphireblue · 12/11/2010 14:17

I quite often stare at boobs. Mainly nice perky little ones. I am jealous of them and would like to swap some for my sagging G cups.

Message me if you're interested Grin

lljkk · 12/11/2010 14:20

Friend who had a double masectomy said that she never had so many people staring at her chest until after they were lobbed off -- said that men only glanced but the worst offenders were women who were all dolled up with push-up bras and hefty cleavage themselves.

perfumedlife · 12/11/2010 14:24

I was also wondering if it was one of those lovely little stares you go into now and again, like a trance. If she does it again though, you know she fancies you Grin

Horrified at the tube/pony thing too Shock

perfumedlife · 12/11/2010 14:25

PMSL at Sappireblue

RoxieP · 12/11/2010 14:28

Maybe wouldn't have minded so much if she was actually fit... Grin

Is it me or does ht grin face on MN look quite scary? More like an evil grimace...

DinahRod · 12/11/2010 14:32

Maybe she's shopping for new ones.

Gay40: "I've found that in general, women don't mind other women checking them out... They do object more when men do it."

I've noticed this too. Still can't figure it out tbh.

frgr · 12/11/2010 14:38

theevildead2, they even got her to pose in her bra with a fake bat? Hmm odd story!

daftpunk · 12/11/2010 14:45

Actually - women would rather men checked them out- having another woman staring at you is seriously creepy.....unless you're both lesbians of course - then it's normal I guess ?

RoxieP · 12/11/2010 14:48

OMFG! Somebody else (female) just did it to me again I swear! My tits must have exploded overnight - maybe pregancy has made them bigger than I thought and I've got some weird reverse form of body dismorphia.... Or I have some weird form of narcissism that makes me convinced everyone is looking at my tits!

AND I'M A RECEPTIONIST! A bat is bound to fly out of there soon....!
