Ummm... First of all, I would find something incredibly wrong if someone chose to continue looking at me while I was not aware of them seeing me nude. I would totally expect someone to look away and respect me.

Then again, this story just changed my mind about ever using a dressing room in Hollister or with mirrors like that again. I won't even be taking the chance. It'd be highly unsettling for me to learn that someone sat there and watched me. I'd probably feel a little defiled. At the least disrespected.

I don't even know if it's legal to do that, and no, I really truly would not assume she wanted you to see her. I'd probably think that she 1. didn't know that her curtain wasn't fully closed, or that there were mirrors allowing a view or 2. she didn't expect to have to worry about anyone but other women being in the area to peek on her. That is just me and how I'd feel in the situation.

Pretty much this.

I've been in a similar situation, and as soon as I realized that there was a diagonally facing mirror that showed my reflection outside of the dressing room (while it was another woman who saw me) I will still pretty unsettled by it, because it was definitely not intentional. While I AM bisexual and therefore have been seen by other women, even women who were turned on by it, that was in the bedroom and NOT by a stranger, so to be seen by a stranger I was very embarassed and even came out making a comment about the mirrors. She did, however, turn away and when I came out was facing the other way on the bench (it was in line, there was only 1 room for women, 1 for men) and while I have no idea if she "liked" seeing me or not, it wasn't fun. I never used the dressing room in that store again because of it, because the stupid curtain closed by a hook, and anyone sitting on the bench would be able to see, similar to the way most Hot Topic dressing rooms close, but a smaller room and with a mirror in a terrible place.

Chances are, she didn't know, and if she did, she probably would've done one of those little head turns or something to see if you were watching. I'm sure she knew given the situation that you were there with someone, and I'd imagine most women wouldn't do that knowing you were there with another woman.

Oh, come on, you're acting like he assaulted her. He may have looked away, it may have happened so quickly and been so shocking that there wasn't really enough time to look away, or maybe he was being a human being and looked at her because she was standing in plain view, naked. There's no need to be all judgmental about details to the story that you don't even have, and act like he's some pervert criminal for catching a glimpse of someone nude. And no, it's not illegal to accidentally see someone naked.

I'd say it was an accident but it's not the end of the world like people are making it seem, meh.

my hubby would have a black eye for not turning his head or moving away and NOT watching her dress

I know a girl like this. i dont believe anyone could be that unaware.

Yeah, I don't get the whole "omg, I'll never change in those places again!" Just pay attention to your surroundings, and you'll be fine. You'll never suffer the "horror" of someone seeing you naked for a split second by accident.

Thank you for saying what I was thinking better than I could have!
