A woman I worked with had hers enhanced. When she asked why I was the only guy in the place who hadn’t commented, I told her I hadn’t noticed since I had too much respect for women to stare at their boobs. (Okay, so I lied.)
My advice: Ignore.
Was this the answer to, “Why didn’t we get Christmas bonuses this year?”
“You look different. Did you get a haircut or something?”
“Ah, excuse me but could you back up a bit. You’re blocking the light.”
Ha!
I still think Motorboat is the proper response…
Unless you see the young lady in question every day, and she truly went from small to Dolly Partonesque overnight, you really can’t be sure she did have surgery.
Having been a 17 year old girl myself, and now having two teenage girls of my own, I can tell you that the natural growth of breasts isn’t a slow, even process. Often there will be no appreciable growth for a very long time, and then a sudden rapid increase in size. If there wasn’t much there in the first place, the comparison to the size she was and the size she is now could leave you the impression of a very large bust, even if objectively they aren’t all that big. Add to that the possible size enhancing effect of certian bras and clothing, and all you really have are suspicions.
In any case, besides the fact that it’s a bit unpleasant of you to be staring at a 17 year old’s breasts in the first place, the only possible polite response is no response at all. It isn’t any of your business.
A friendly smile and “Lookin’ good!” should suffice. Few people object to being told they look good. If she wants to specifically discuss her boobs, things can go on from there at her discretion.
I’m pretty sure “become paralyzed by fear of saying/doing the wrong thing” is not how you’re supposed to react, but is probably a very frequent reaction…
If you find yourself making any comment that involves thrusting motions and saying, “giggedy - giggedy - giggedy” you’ve probably gone too far.
Seriously, there’s probably no safe comment you can make about a 17 year old’s breasts.
How is one supposed to respond to boob jobs?
“You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie!”
Subordinate’s daughter: Ignore, Ignore, Ignore!
Friends: “Hey! I like them twins, girl!”
You could try quoting your favorite lines from Young Frankenstein. Starting with "What a set of knockers"
The accepted procedure:
- Knock over your cup of coffee in astonishment
- Lean back in your chair and cover one eye, then the other
- Waggle eyebrows roguishly
- In a voice that can be heard all over the office, cry out “Holy jumping crapcakes, looka the new tits you got!”
She will be so overwhemed at your enthusiasm that she will most likely offer you a “test drive”
At this point it would be unwise to stand up from benind your desk for at least twenty minutes
My standard response for this type of situation: Not in my nightmares would I volunteer an opinion about the body parts of my coworkers or their relatives in the workplace. Not size, or coloration, style, height, weight, nothing. Nada. Zip. Not even comments about clothing, handbags, or the car they drive.
Well, maybe the car.
If prompted for an answer about the size of my co-worker’s 17-year-old daughter’s boobs, my suggested response would be to spill a cup of coffee or diet coke in my lap and leave the room at a dead run.
My sister was “augmented” after her last child stopped nursing. It took my mom 5 years to notice.
(cues the fanfare) Ah, a gentleman at last! Marley23, that’s truly a classy response.
Yes, I think pretending not to notice would be your breast bet.
BEST bet. Oh, what a giveaway!
Subtle, but good. Nice shot ftg.
You asked if you could feel a relative’s boobs :dubious:
