To be angry at being "checked out" by other dads on the school run?

I dread the school run, i'm not really stunningly beautiful or anything but do get looked at by other dads while they're waiting for their children -HOW BLOODY INAPPROPRIATE - what a bunch of desparados.
So I try to look as 'ordnary' as possible, maybe I should change schools [hmm}

It's probably because you're so drop dead gorgeous

Suck it up............... or wear a black bin liner. Men look and so do women. Fact of life.

whoooooisasking · 19/10/2009 15:07

It's a burden and no mistake

Northernlurker · 19/10/2009 15:07

Is this a troll post because you sound utterly mad! Most likely they aren't 'checking you out', they just want to make conversation like parents do. Male, female it's all irrelevant. Could you try talking to them as people perhaps instead of being convinced they are desperate to get in your knickers! I'm sure they have much prettier wives at home

famishedass · 19/10/2009 15:08

Have you got big tits? Perhaps they're looking at those.

deaddei · 19/10/2009 15:09

Is it the combination of thigh high boots, fur coat and no knickers which makes them ogle you?

Ladyatron · 19/10/2009 15:09

have you tried wearing clothes?

thesunshinesbrightly · 19/10/2009 15:11

really? get a grip, people look at people big deal i'm sure they dont want to "get it on" with you.

4/10

prettyfly1 · 19/10/2009 15:12

oh please - get over yourself. TBH If they ARE looking at you (which I doubt) then count yourself lucky - soon you will be old, saggy and no body will bother and then you will have something to moan about.

Biobytes · 19/10/2009 15:13

How "ordinary" are you dressing? In my school everybody must be half dressed and half asleep because I haven't seen anyone yet checking on each other.

LilRedWG · 19/10/2009 15:14

BTW, the use of the word "other" in your title suggests that you are infact male yourself.

SolidGhoulBrass · 19/10/2009 15:15

Are you noticeably, visibly different to the majority of parents eg much younger/older, dress in an eye-catching way or belong to a different ethnic group? If you look a little unusual, people will look at you, doesn't mean they mean any harm.

famishedass · 19/10/2009 15:16

That's a good point LilRedWG - I wonder if someone is off school sick, or has broken up for half term somewhere.

ShowOfHands · 19/10/2009 15:17

OP I sympathise. Just today I was walking past a school, minding my own business, not even dropping off a child and one of the bastards started humping my leg.

thesunshinesbrightly · 19/10/2009 15:17

LilRedWG, yes, you have a point well spotted

deaddei · 19/10/2009 15:22

Show of hands- wonderful comment.

GypsyMoth · 19/10/2009 15:23

shouldn't you be on the school run now anyway??

Iklboo · 19/10/2009 15:24

Honestly it's like hounds after foxes if I go anywhere near the schoo. It's part of the reason I let DH pick DS up from school. He can run faster than me

deaddei · 19/10/2009 15:24

That's where she's gone- tripping away in her heels.

notwavingjustironing · 19/10/2009 15:26

It's the constant autograph signing that bugs me at home time. How am I supposed to locate two book bags and school coats, and look at a collage whilst trying to sign someone's copy of the Daily Star?

famishedass · 19/10/2009 15:27

Yeah, show us what you got girl!

In case you're shy, I'll show you my picture first
