You are walking up the stairs at the station and look up to see this sight.
Will you be :-
1. A gentleman and look away.
2. Take a photo on your mobile.
3. Pretend to read a book while reading while peeping.
4. Continue to look and not hide the fact that you are looking.
5. Go up and ask her the time.
This is a common sight in Japan so this is a real life question.
Heh, I remember approaching a girl and askiing her for directions when I first came to Japan - she was so nice that I had to talk to her.
I asked her "Do you know where the Kousei Nenkin Kaikan is?"
She said "No."
And that was that.

An appreciation for beauty should be among the senses of a complete person, and so to look a little is not ungentlemanly. To be excessive about it, looking too long or too obviously, or to make a fuss or brag, to reveal your brief moment of silent, smiling observation -- this is uncalled for. Moreover, if the lady be made uncomfortable by such behavior, it has become ungentlemanly.
The train station is a testing ground for the mettle of he who would be a gentleman with a sense of human beauty.

A shot like that? I'ld probably look but not stare. I mean, what's wrong? We only see her leg, it not like we were actually seeing her panty. But if panty were to be seen, it'ld probably be more of 1 with no regret of having a nice sight before. XD
LoL I would definitely look away, since I have always done that.

I'll most likely take option 4. It actually reminds me of the time when me and 3 other friends saw a school uniform dressed girl walking up a long flight of stairs, then we basically were walking slowly behind her, hoping for a glimpse of heaven. The funny thing was we were in our army uniform, with our officers (a Colonel and 3 Majors) in a near distance but we just couldn't care. Like they all say, "Looking up, one might find Heaven" ^^.
Well no reason for me to lie about it for comedy since alot of people may have done it already here so.
If I saw it accidentally id glance and try not to look anymore.
But I wont try to intentionally look if an opportunity arises.
Besides its terribly inconvenient if the "bulging" happens

i'll move backwards down the stairs to have a better look from a lower angle. it's basic human instinct to want to look. ('~')
i'll love to take a pic with my phone but that's playing with fire (with the law). one can be prosecuted if one is caught taking upskirt pics without the lady's consent. who will consent someone to take their upskirt pics anway i wonder? ('~')

damn, I gotta say that has to be the reason why I love japan so much... the opportunity to have to choose between 4 exciting things just walking up the stairs of some train station. I remember the train station near my apato had some steep stairs and one day caught myself "fast walking" because I saw some joshikousei headed up the escalator in front of me... I thought "what the hell am I doing trying to look up some teen aged girl's dress like I'm in grade school? I'm 25!"
I then came to my senses after I saw the 40+ year-old looking salaryman next to me slyly break out his phone and snap off a few pix. I asked him if he could send me the pictures to my phone and he did! So you need to add another choice-- Ask the hentai next to you to send you the pix HE took from his keitai!
