German Bus Driver Can't Take Eyes Off Passenger's Cleavage

Normally it's the drunk and unruly passengers who end up getting kicked to the curb, but, after getting an eye-full, an easily distracted driver in Germany shouted at a woman for wearing a low-cut blouse on his bus.

Emboldened by Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy," thousands of would-be models and make-believe beauties have vainly -- and publicly -- strutted their stuff, convinced they really were too gorgeous for their shirts, cars, hats and cats.

And while the innocent bystanders that these public displays are too often forced upon can been seen quietly shaking their heads murmuring, "No, honey, you're not really good looking at all," one German woman proved the 1992-hit does apply to some.

After boarding a bus in the southern German city of Landau, Debora C. took her seat and waited to get to work, not realizing that the bus driver was making use of his mirror to stare into her cleavage -- to the point where he stopped concentrating on the road.

"Suddenly he stopped the bus, opened the door and snorted, 'Your cleavage is distracting me when I look in the mirror. I can't concentrate on the road. If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have to throw you off the bus,'" Debora told Germany's Bild newspaper on Monday.

Instead of giving him the slap in the face -- and sexual harassment suit -- he deserved, the 20-year-old saleswoman switched seats and continued her journey.

"He humiliated me in front of the whole bus and made me look like a slut," Debora told the paper.

A spokesman for the bus company, however, said the driver acted correctly.

"The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing," the spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted, because it's a danger to the safety of all the passengers."
