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}

are you a dad then? You say you're getting checked out by other dads?

LaurieScaryCake · 19/10/2009 15:29

Erm, I check out the very few hot Dads at the school. Nothing like a hot Dad do brighten up my day

Oh and I'm not a troll- just a bit desperate!

famishedass, have you hacked into my p.c and pinched my photo's, have you? eh?

Hello, i'm back from the school run and i got "checked out" only by one dad (not "other" -I am female) partly because it was raining -phew - so I could block potential ogglers with my brolly..

Yes but it's only Monday! You've got to run the gauntlet four more days this week - are you sure you can cope?

i think OP is miffed maybe because despite his name he is actually a bloke...

... being checked out by other dads... he said.

mankymummymoo · 19/10/2009 16:06

i didnt read that last post from OP did I ?!

8oreighty · 19/10/2009 16:06

I totally check out the dads, just never any hot ones, got to take it where you can get it.

Wanderingsheep · 19/10/2009 16:07

Did he wolf whistle

SOH! Humping your leg? That's just plain out of order! [disgusted]

Chickenshavenolips · 19/10/2009 16:11

I know your pain, OP. It is just so terribly, terribly hard to be beautiful. I try to dim my utter gorgeousness by only wearing boiler suits and no make up, but alas, my inner gorgeousness just radiates out.

cupcake123 · 19/10/2009 16:12

Have you considered the possibility that you are stunningly ugly?

Twintummy · 19/10/2009 16:13

I'm far too busy checking out the hot dad's to notice.

Wanderingsheep · 19/10/2009 16:14

Same here Chickenshavenolips! I even stick rice crispies to my face to make myself look really ugly, it just doesn't work!

flimflammum · 19/10/2009 16:17

ha ha Rhubarb, you're not going to catch me out this time.

hanaboo · 19/10/2009 16:20

in my experience chickens, boiler suits are considered quite sexy ;)

ArghhhhmazingBouncingSpider · 19/10/2009 16:22

I was going to try and leave a witty reply but I dont think I could top the humping of the leg comment!!

Chickenshavenolips · 19/10/2009 16:22

Is that where I'm going wrong, hanaboo? Perhaps I should opt for a retro shell suit? I'm just not sure that there is a material invented which can hide my killer body

lljkk · 19/10/2009 16:26

OOOhhh! Where do you live, OP? Coz Damnit, I wanna go on a school run where I get checked out by dads. Or other mums, even. Or maybe just the slimy caretaker could give me the occasional oggle.

I'm well past the age of being fussy.

biggirlsdontcry · 19/10/2009 16:27

chickenshaveolips - i am in awe of your modesty

beaniesinthebucketagain · 19/10/2009 16:31

its that big spot on your chin!

No seriously, people are awake enough on the school run to notice how people look!!!

Ah crap ive soo gotta get a nanny, i cba to be presentable at 8am!

dizzimama · 19/10/2009 17:15

I've taken on board your comments (and ignored the silly and sarcastic ones)

I suppose it is human nature to look at attractive members of the opposite sex, I suppose its the dads who stand around checking out the moms (the 'lurkers'- I call them) that annoy me, if they looked like Geaorge Clooney- then perhaps I wouldn't mind so much

Btw, I'd call myself average looking, but then I suppose I am (or look) a lot younger than the other moms.

But seriously, some men just STAAAAAARE
It's just rude.
