    So I was driving home from work last evening minding my own business when I saw three potential babes dressed for the weather walking.
    As I approached I beeped the horn to get a look and they turned around and started shouting and swearing, one threw a can of what only could have been a can of beer at the car.
    Luckily I was driving and was able to make a quick get away.
    Are we being taken over by scum or are is this now the norm?

    Lol. Cheers for making my morning. Some people might say you got what you deserved by disrespecting them by beeping your horn at them. Next time slow down and when you drive past them use your mirrors to grab a look.

    His car horn has probably been adapted to produce a wolf whistle.

    Fair enough. :) And they sound like they were classy women what with there drinking cans of beer in the street and all. :)

    You should gave them a quick helicopter, or even a nice little fruit bowl.

    Feckin women and their principles, they should have dashed over to ya and rubbed their bodies all over the car.

    Lando have you nothing better to do in this weather than winding up people on the internet? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    Okay, I need to ask: potential babes?

    What the f**k makes one a potential babe? I mean a babe is an attractive person so did you see their shadow and think "ah jayus, I see the outline of some boobs; she might be a real looker"?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 326 ✭✭NordieSteve


    Hanging's too good.

    Seriously, will some of the Delicate flowers tell me what the rules are regarding looking at someone attractive? I really don't know what I'm supposed to do.

    If you can't glance at someone attractive without looking like a sex pest in the process then you only have yourself to blame.

    A few girls went baloobas this morning when I pulled in for a closer look, in my private helicopter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    I know what you mean. I saw this girl changing into her bikini yesterday evening and then she looks around and starts screaming at me. I nearly fell out of the tree and broke my binoculars with the shock.

    Ah ok, so you're a sex pest for looking. Gotcha. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 673 ✭✭✭pundy


    mostly i find that they are rough scum who are dressing like this, and to give them an ego boost by looking at them and letting them believe even more-so that they are in fact beyonce is shameful for anyone to take part in.

    Nope. You can look. You just cant lick your lips and smack that booty is what hes saying.

    There does be some amount of lookers on the LUAS green line this weather. Tis a true test of a man's iron will to keep the eyes from wandering.

    Not really what the post said though. Even looking and finding a girl attractive is a no - no in some maniacs opinion.

    It's possible to glance at someone without making them shiver to their very core. Which is what I think may be happening in your scenario.

    It's just frowned upon to beep the car horn to get them to turn around. Use a vuvuzela instead, it's much more festive.

    That's some assumption to make. Keep up the white knighting though, we are all very impressed.

    OP, i think you need to invest in some Sunglasses. They never see you looking then :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    I'm still finding it amusing that people think that it's a good idea to beep your horn at random women in the hopes they might be good looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 700 ✭✭✭nicowa


    Not really what the post said though. Even looking and finding a girl attractive is a no - no in some maniacs opinion.

    You can look. If the look turns to staring. It's not appreciated. If it turns to leering it's not appreciated. Cat calling, wolf whistling, yelling comments and honking your horn are no goes. It also escalates to crotch grabbing (their own to show what they have to give you) and following you down the street asking for your number/telling you your boyfriend is no good for you.

    Basically I want to be able to put on a pair of shorts, a skirt or a nice summery dress without worrying about the resulting type of attention it's going to get. I don't need someone honking a horn at me to tell me I look good. I will not say thank you to that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    Hate being beeped at. Think I can speak for all women here! I probably would have thrown something at you too.

    Although I can't help but think you're taking the piss..

    I'm talking about looking and looking only. The likelihood of any of the above happening is slim.

    What's wrong with someone asking for your number? Are you really so precious that you hate to be Bothered with someone asking your number because they find you attractive?

    'White Knighting'? Ah, 4chan speak, the sex pest thing is beginning to make sense now :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 829 ✭✭✭smellmepower


    When I read posts which contain stuff like ''butterface'' ''body off baywatch,face off crimewatch'' ''potential babes'' etc,it reminds of the ****e you'd hear orts tossers out in UCD say and I cringe and am embarrassed for the eejits who posted them.

    The following part is the part she's not interested in.

    Striking up a conversation is all well and good but do it within the first few seconds you look at her.
    Don't stare at her like an eejit for a minute and then decide she's worth talking to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 795 ✭✭✭kingchess


    you saw some good looking ladies and your hand had to go straight on the horn??

    No idea what 4chan. Although with your depth of reasoning I'd say you spend a lot of time on various forums.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I hate people that use their horn other than to warn fellow road users they are coming.

    It's not that hard to understand.
    You made the comment that looking at women makes you a pervert (sarcastically)
    O1s1n pointed out that you can look with being a pervert.

    You somehow made that out to be that you can't look at women at all.

    Of course you can look at women but there's a line between "looking at" and "leering at". Leering at = being a perv which that, combined with how the OP phrased it (he beeped at her to get a better look) and in response to this she flung a can at him, you seemed to think the OP was completely innocent in this situation.

    Secondly, calling someone a white knight for pointing out that you can look without being a pervert is f**king childish and just makes you seem like you want to argue for the sake of arguing.

    I think he is saying that you must find her inner beauty-no matter how well it is hidden-

    Loike attack the post, not the poster, roish man?
