Avoiding looking at cleavages at work...
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 2:13 pm
Possibly a problem for many, not just readers of this forum.
Although anywhere but here, the subject might be dismissed as outdated and sexist.
However, human nature and all that...
A couple of girls I work with habitually where low cut tops. It used to be worse...4-5 of them did this. 3 of the 'culprits' have now left, but that still leave 2, to whom my eyes are drawn, like a magnet, occasionally.
It's / I'm not as bad as I make out. I am capable of self control, but at the same time my eyes / mind will wander every so often.
With both the girls concerned I get on with them well. However one is married, the other as good as. The former possibly likes the attention, and would laugh it off. The latter, I don't know, a very friendly and helpful girl, however one should not / I cannot assume dressing in such a way is an automatic invitation to stare, even briefly / occasionally.
On the occasion I do, I tell myself not to...there are many reasons not to -
it could offend her
could damage our friendship
not conducive to good relations in the office
to name but a few reasons.
What do any of you do combat human nature here?
