Had a meeting at Canary Wharf today. I always like going to places where rich people hang out, because there's usually an abundance of hot women around to perv over. King's Road, Chelsea, and Angel Islington are also favourites.
Anyway, as I was letting a young lady on to the bus in front of me today, I got to wondering where the "ladies first" idea came from. I reckon it's probably more to do with politeness than emergency, but then I noticed that my eyes were firmly fixed to her bum.
Could this have anything to do with it? What is the history of "ladies first" - is it polite or pervy?
