People who Stare at you! Wtf Why??

johnnyq

I see this a lot on buses/trains. You're just sitting there like everyone else minding your own business, and some possessed person just gawks blankly at you, not just for a second but for a lifetime.

The worst I ever saw was in a seat in a train where the fella about 40's wouldn't just wouldn't stop staring at the woman 20's sitting next to me.

The whole fecking journey just looking no expression. She held up her magazine for ages before eventually moving.

Then he kept staring at the seat she was in. Absolute Nuts!

Boardsies share similar experiences?

Dudess

Yeah, hate that. Maybe they're half asleep and don't fully realise they're doing it.

TheMilkyPirate

I absolutely hate people staring at me. I usually just stare back right in there eyes and they stop Job done.

Davidius

I believe they call that day dreaming.

Steve

He might have been blind - just appeared like he was staring.

TequilaMockingBird

Are you devilishly handsome?

Thrill

Or terrifyingly ugly?

trout

Were you naked, and carrying a bomb ?

Diarmsquid

Or different or strange looking?

trout

Or perhaps you were masturbating, unbeknownst to yourself ?

flanum

daydreaming or "thousand yard stare" maybe?

Dord

That's happened to me a good bit. I just stare back.
It must be my devilishly handsome good looks....wait...nevermind

monkeyfudge

I get it a lot at the cafeteria at work..

I flip flop between thinking they they're going to try and rob me or that they think I might be someone famous.

Dave!

A swift elbow to the bridge of their nose usually deals with the staring problem. But then you gotta deal with the bleeding problem........ blehh.........

Strangers in an enclosed space. During peak-hours; very enclosed.
Add a few odd-balls to the mix. Ahhh.. public transport.

Never again, if I can help it.

I should perhaps add that he was staring at her rack, which might explain things a bit.

Hmm, I couldn't see his hands though....

:eek:That table was shaking an awful lot I thought it was the train

I've noticed a lot of people stare at me when I wear my ever popular, crowd pleasing, luminous, vinyl and spandex thong. It has sparkly bits, that I added on myself.

I'm such an attention whore though, it must be said. :cool:

longshanks

yeah i get that as well, i'll be a strolling through town and of a sudden notice different people staring at me. its wierd, i'll look back and they'll look away all embarrassed and whatnot. but the damage is done. now i'll be thinking i have some gak on my face or a nosebleed or something. aahh the paranoia, what am i going to do? stop looking at me
then i remember i'm a unicorn

people staring freaks me right out! was sittin in a restaurant a few weeks back with my friend, we were sitting on a couch facing the bar and this oul fella was sittin at the bar (so he had his back to us) and he kept turning around and staring at me! like not even just glancing, turning completely around on his chair and leering. he eventually just turned the chair the whole way around and proceeded to continue staring until we left.... freaks me right out.

I'd have built a dispenser and a sentry in that situation. He wouldn't be so fast to stare without an ubercharge!

In fact, he would probably have been shot to death.

i understand very little of what you just said...

no chance for someone to stare at me pfffft.
it gives them shivers down their spine:cool:

smellslikeshoes

My mind would be elsewhere sometimes and would find myself staring into space without realizing it, so I don't usually let someone else staring bother me. if someone is making you uncomfortable, try smiling blankly into nothingness and see what their reaction is.

MagicMarker

I find people stare at me sometimes, for no reason...

Although, one time i was sitting at the back of the bus and i'm almost certain the guy facing me had a hard on, he was sitting very awkwardly...

I think i prefer the staring.

He was probably sizing up the shape of your skull?? In that scenario you should have picked up your fork and lodged it between his fcukin eyes...that'll learn him!

The Bollox

I find myself doing it the odd time, and I get embarrassed when I snap out of it and see the person who was occuping my staring space giving me the evils

it's not me staring at someone, it's me staring into space, a million miles away, and having someone occupying that space. either that or a particularly fine looking wimmins. has no-one else on this thread found they have done the same, or are you all content with gazing at the passing buildings

Sherifu

Haven't stared in a while. Time to get back to basics.

God no. You always avoid any possible action that could lead to someone talking to you sitting near you. Avoid the eyes. Always avoid the eyes...

Sunglasses ftw.

Love walking down the street on a sunny, warm day, in me shades, just leering at the cleavage and legs on show.

I believe thats known as the Tallaght cuddle

:(:(:( make them stop they are looking at me !!!!!!

Doctor DooM

Sometimes I stare into space and then suddenly there's someone sitting in it. Usually when I have the ol iPod on and I am off in another world of musak.

they stomped that out didn't they? I think it was called the Tallaght Ban (so 2001 but I don't care!)

Ghost Train

well the seating on the dart doesn't help. You sort of have to look at the people opposite you. Did have one girl just stare and smile at of for a whole journey once. And she wouldn't keep her legs on her side. It was weird

2-ShortDa5foot5

If it's a guy staring at me, I give him a wink and lick my lips, dat usually scares him off! Failing that, blow him a kiss.

If it's a girl I open my eyes wide, make that lickout gesture with my two fingers and wag my tongue wildly throwing in the odd grunt and moan. They're b0th very effective!

I hate people staring into my car at me in traffic... Specially builders on their way home in groups.. wtf??... P1ss off and leave me alone.. Yes I'm female, get over it :rolleyes:

if there are two people staring I'm sure the conversation between them would go like this

builder 1: lets give her a wolf whistle

builder 2: I don't think she'd appreciate that

builder 1: ...but she's a woman!

builder 2: I know

builder 1: but... she's hot!

builder 2: good point

*queue rampant cat-calling and wolf whistling*
*xzanti gives them the evils before driving off*

builder 1: do you think she appreciated it?

builder 2: hell yeah!

I've often been sitting at a window seat on the Dart at nightime staring into nothing except black and outlines of the dark outside when suddenly I'd realise that if I refocus, it appears that I've staring at someone for an eternity!!!

Also, my BF also gets major stares, esp at the bus stop as he's easy enough on the eye and also, he often has a very obvious and large bump somewhere in the trouser region due to him having a lot of packaging down below that seems to cause any gay man in the vicinity to be drawn in and stare straight down and they have sometimes circled him like hawks like its their dinner!!! Freaks him out a little, understandably.
