What shall I do with gawkers?

moxin

I live on a main road near a traffic lights at a junction and occasionally there does be traffic backed up with people in their cars waiting on a green light as far as my house.
Thing is when I start leaving my house or arriving there is always one gawker who is sitting in traffic staring at me watching me as I come and go. It is always men.(LOL)
One time I was pulling out of my driveway and there was this serious gawker with a beard wearing 70's style shades in his 142 jeep and who kept looking at me and I was gawking back with a look "wtf are you looking at", he drove off still gawking at me when the lights went green for him.

Another time when I parked my car in the driveway, another dude in a big blue transit van parked in traffic opposite my gates started a staring match at me. I looked back with that usual look "wtf you staring at" and the bloke kept staring to his right at me even as he drove off when his green light beckoned, just so fecking obvious!!. By the way, the vast majority of drivers do not stare!.:)

Now I ask the faithful of AH, how do I combat such gawkers in future?

wazky

Stop gawking at motorists?, problem solved.

Sauve

How gorgeous are you?

The Backwards Man

I would suggest gawking back but you already seem to be doing that.

Maybe they're staring at you because you're staring at them

Cantona's Collars

Put the tv in the window with porn or football on and watch the pile ups happen.

questionmark?

Two questions

1) Do you normally have clothes on?

2) Gawk, drooooolll...???

RobbingBandit

Pictures of yourself or GTFO.

I thought you were vomiting. Oh, Cork!

Gran Hermano

Lick their windows.

rockbeast

You could try wearing clothes

chicorytip

You have a super- sensitive disposition !

Hande hoche!

Wear a tutu next time.

Angry_Mammarys

Say Hi or never leave your house again:mad: or make a big sign saying ''omfg **** off staring at me you perverts!!!!!!!!!!!!''

WoollyRedHat

Put a bag over your head.

Awkward Badger

Are these slack jawed gawkers or regular gawkers ?

moxin

Yes I do wear clothes Ah'ers I do not gawk at each motorist in traffic, most of the motorists who are stuck in traffic do not gawk at me when I depart and arrive at my house, they look away when I do notice them in my eye which is normal!!;)

Its just these fellows who in their motoring day start to stare at a random stranger, what is wrong with them?

lulu1

Put a sign up on your front gate saying

STRICTLY NO GAWKING DAY OR NIGHT

Angry_Mammarys

Oh or make a pervert alert

SilverScreen

Just smile and wave at them. I'd imagine that they would be pretty embarrassed to be caught staring in at you.

Gran Hermano

Start picking and examining the contents of your nostrils whilst they are staring/perving.
(Bonus points if you consume it and shout "stick this image in your **** bank!).

Important question Badger , slack jawed varieties may need more effort to clear .Ill hand the floor back to you.

Unless i'm super gorgeous(:D), or my car is super gorgeous! What the hell would cause them to stare? There must be people here who live on a busy road who can concur and give advice?

Hande hoche!

I would put on a pair of sun glasses and blinkers and a head scarf,(not forgetting clothes) venture out the front door. make sure all traffic is moving and then run like hell to the car before lights change.

Let them gawk all they want sure it will pass the time for them its a long wait at them traffic lights you know

RikkFlair

I find that fondling your crotch and licking your lips stops the gawkers right in their tracks.

fenris

I think that you need to make yourself more attractive to female gawkers, it is unfair that you only get men gawking, pretty sure that there is equality legislation on quotas or something that states that you need to accommodate male and female gawkers equally.

--LOS--

If it's just the odd driver doing this it doesn't sound like a problem. We all like a bit of people watching, theyre just extreme people watchers. Whatever look you're giving them you seem to be encouraging them more :P are you sure you're not mixing up your c'mere to me look, with your wtf you looking at look?

Wishiwasa Littlebitaller

Footpath gawkers are the worst.

Walking along and the person approaching starts gawking.

I will do time.

Hmm, female gawkers haven't gawked yet, hopefully i'm thinking equality is in their genes

Look through the Doors peephole and wait until the traffic starts moving.

I have a disability and a few months a little girl of about 8 followed me round pennys looking at me what could I do but give her a big smile

punisher5112

Op serious action needed here.

Walk out with hockey mask followed by chainsaw and a white t shirt with bloodstains on it.
I would guess they would be driving through anything in front.

If you have big balls do walk out naked and see response.

Egg the next person that keeps gawking.

Run out screaming alah.

Run to their car and car jack their ass.

Grow a huge hedge and erect a gate. Big sign on gate gawkers will be shot repeat offenders will be shot again.

Ruu

Stop being a sexy bastard!

Whats strange about people in traffic looking at whats around them? I live near a traffic lights too - people always look out their windows when they're stopped. People driving past in busses look at you for a bit longer than if they were walking past you on the street. Its the same as when you walk past a house in the dark and they havn't closed their sitting room windows. Of course your gonna have a glance in as it's something new. If you were stopped in traffic maybe you'd have a bit of a longer look in I dunno. I hope I'm not weird

Sprog 4, do you continuously stare at the householder even when the householder notices your staring?! Most stare away but those tiny minority stare aka gawk !!

Anyone who leaves their curtains open with the lights on at night dose it for one thing to make sure everyone sees their fancy house and its only natural to look in. I would and would probably take some of their ideas home with me too

I do be outside Teyla unless you suggest I get blinds on the driveway gates :P

Give them something to gawk at properly OP. I suggest a fabulous hat.

Or perhaps a dark toned black-eye and bruised fist combination might make them avert their gaze.

Cantremember

Get over yourself. They're just bored. They'd look at any movement of distraction the same.
