to think that you shouldn't be staring down my shirt?

I was leaning over sorting out some papers on my desk today and a colleague came up to my desk and started talking about a meeting the team were having. When I looked up I immediately realised where he had been looking and he got a bit flustered. I put my hand on my top to hold it against me and gave him a look of disdain back. Am i being unreasonable to think that any reasonable man would have averted their eyes? What would you do?

op it is perfectly normal for humans to look at cleavages.

If you put them on display, its your look out.

Get yourself a polo neck.

Oh give over. I'm a 36DD and wear low cut vest tops, men and women alike look! It's only like them looking at my face, if its there they're going to look. As long as they don't talk to my chest I'm not arsed.

If I was your co-worker I would have been 'gawping' too, I can't help staring at cleavage if on display and I may well have commented 'nice boobage' when you noticed Grin
There is nothing sexual about it, I'm just noticing what's out there I also can't stop staring when I see bum cracks hanging out of trousers but wish I could
If you like wearing nice tops and underwear that show off your boobs then people will notice them. I am also a busty lady and know which tops boost them and which hide them, I dress appropriately for the situation as I know they will be noticed, just like if I wore red stilletos people would notice my feet.

Oh, and I think your reaction was fine, as was his!

By the way fakebook, I've just been chatting to DP over facebook (it's not fake Confused ) and he says 'A lot of the stuff that's reported on the news are false flag events designed to garner pyrrhic support from an apathetic and ignorant populous in order to justify further incursions into lands rich with mineral resources and black gold. This allows the debt ponzi to be continued'. Now, I have little idea what that means, but it sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

No dear, he doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about, he sounds like an arse.

TulisaLover as a bloke I would just like to say how reasonable you are being, and how UR your colleague and everyone else is. If I was him I would have had my back turned, or possibly even better, gone into another room and phoned, lest my eyes be distracted downwards in such a scenario.

You could of course make an announcement before bending over to save red faces. Like 'eyes to the ceiling...now'.

If you don't understand what he's saying, how can you possibly know he knows what he's talking about?

Does it smell like the Ghetto in Belsize Park?

Oh my good God. This is a wind-up, right?

I don't watch the news fakebook because it upsets me - half of it is propaganda for the 'credit card generation' according to my DP anyway. As far as I'm concerned, Tulisa is inspiring young people - it's a wonderful thing to criticise isn't it. Come back to me when you've developed a heavenly fragrance or a single to match 'I need you'.

He is not a muppet Worra - he knows what he's talking about and told me not to worry about it.

Yes, dear, don't worry your pretty little head. Listen to me and my mad conspiracy theories instead, and focus on Tulisa. Yes, the best thing a young woman could do is develop a heavenly fragrance. Never mind a cure for cancer, that's for Us Men to be thinking about.

Ahh, a good 'all news is propaganda for destroying the world' conspiracy. Not had one of them for a while.

Also, I got squirted with Tulisa's 'fragrance' by the fecking woman in Superdrug. Heavenly it is not.

YANBU. Some women have small breasts, some have big breasts. Its a fact of life. Just as I don't go around with my eyes fixated on men's crotches, a man in the workplace shouldn't let himself be caught gawping down a woman's front. Its a basic workplace social skill. Its not a requirement for women to wear buttoned up to the chin crinoline vests to deter men, and some tops, while perfectly decent, from certain angles may show a little more - but only if someone is rude enough to look!

I am sure the OP had enough common sense not to go to work dressed as if for a nightclub.

"I have little idea what that means but it sounds like he knows what he's talking about" and "he knows what he's talking about and told me not to worry about it".

Sorry but Grin.

Right I'm off to better myself by developing a heavenly fragrance.

After reading the rest of OPs posts, i doubt that very much... she is probably off getting her tulisa inspired tattoo by now.... Grin

Sorry, but this is quite possibly the funniest thread in ages.

I think it's fair to say most people - male or female - will notice a pair of boobs if they are on display accidentally or otherwise. It's human nature. Yes, there is a line that can be crossed of ogling and that line may be different for different women.

I think there was a serious point at heart. But the stuff the OP has come out with since about Tulisa and her own DP had me spitting out my tea through laughing. Sad state of the world if she's regarded as a good role model. And do you REALLY think she helped develop that fragrance? Course she bloody didn't, some company just asked her to put her name on it (for a percentage of the profits) because they'll shift more bottles to the chavs.

No doubt OP thinks Katie Price writes her own books too.
