For the Ladies: On Etiquette

[dlgood]

What is a gent to do?

Went in for my first session of physcial therapy today, as I have decided I must finally get off my ass and get my knees working properly again. (Apparently, I need a new wheel alignment...)

In any case, I spend most of the session seated up on a table, doing leg exercises off the side, while the Physcial Therapist observes and moniters my knee joint. Sitting below me on the stool.

Did I mention that the physical therapist is female?
Did I mention that she was wearing a v-necked sweater with no shirt?
Did I mention that she seems to have breasts the size of my head?

Okay - not really. She has proportional breasts, inasmuch as they are very big proportions. And because I am a gluttonous pig, I like big portions, when available.

I should be better than this. Looking at Cleavage = Looking at the sun and such.

I know this is rude, right? You just don't stare down a lady's shirt, no matter how hot she is. I try to be good. I try to be strong. And yet, I cannot look away.

I am so weak... Send help PLS

It's hard to be stern when you've got me laughing this hard. Can you at least be subtle? If you can then it's probably not that terrible. Good luck with this! Try not to get yourself slapped.

Yes, I was going for laughter. I am trying to be subtle. I didn't get slapped, and didn't get shunted off to a new therapist, so clearly I haven't yet crossed the worst of lines... but also, I must clearly exert more willpower next time. Because whether or not she was embarassed by my behavior, I was.

But there, you see? You're already contemplating the next time. She has achieved her aim, as any good physical therapist should, in guaranteeing that you will return time and again and put yourself through what amounts to pain and torture.

Do you really think she was unaware of the effect that sitting below your eye-level would have? I think not.

;o)
