"Sorry. Not looking at you ... I'm looking at the Ferrari behind you!"
Quote | Reply
I had a The Womens moment at the gym today. After reading a few of recent threads about asshole men (redundant, that), I think I was the asshole today. Here goes:

I was lifting at my gym this afternoon. The back wall of the gym is made up of almost floor-to-ceiling windows. As I'm lifting I glance up and notice a red sports car parked outside. Cool, I think. I look again and notice it's a Ferrari. A brand new red Ferrari F430 Spider. Very cool. More than cool. I lack the words, in fact, to fully quantify the level of cool this car exuded. So, naturally, I stare. Probably slack jawed. Pretty sure I wasn't drooling. Did I mention it was a Ferrari. A new F430. Spider. Red.

About this time, I snap back to reality and notice a Womens is standing in my line of sight. Funny, I hadn't notice her before. And, she's looking at me. Like I'm naked but for a raincoat. And it hits me, she thinks I'm looking ... no, staring ... at her. So, I say, to be polite, and to let her know I'm not the perv she clearly thinks I am: "Sorry, not looking at you. I'm looking at the Ferrari behind you." She turns to look at the Ferrari. Then she kinda laughs. And then I think she notices the other three or four mens (sic) staring at the Ferrari.

Here's the car: http://www.forbesautos.com/.../Ferrari/F430_Spider

Ha ha, funny story.

Mens that stare aren't the jerks, its the ones that try to run you off the road during a race or that say mean stuff or make it really hard to pass them. But that is a different thread.

I'm glad she laughed it off. Some women would be upset that you were staring at them and then upset when they found out you weren't. :)

Love it! Now swap out genders here and there would be some really hurt feelings. We make fun of women about it, see posts already on this thread, but I imagine a male ego would really take a hit in this situation as well. Especially if it was one of those weight lifter guys I see at my gym. :-)

This reminds me, I generally check out every bike that rides by me and I kind of want to wear a shirt that says "I'm just checking out your ride" because I'm sure about a million people out there have thought I was leering at them.

Put me down for one of those, Erika. That is if you do them in men's sizes. Hmm, since we have met I should qualify and say US small! :-(

regardless of whether this is mens-says-to-womens or womens-says-to-mens, the quick thinking member of the opposite sex would say:

"what, didn't I park it straight?"
