    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.

    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?

    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 ;)

    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.

    At least they're not peeping.

    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 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭moxin


    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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭Cantremember


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

    Its all in your head op, you were the one who inadvertently did the gawk first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 220 ✭✭JonEBGud


    Everyone gawks at someone sometime.
    You could have a big nose.
    You could be black.
    You could be handicapped.
    That's gawking.
    To be leered at, that's different.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,210 ✭✭✭pablo128


    Would you not consider wearing a burka outside of the house? *Gawking reduced by 88% in the Middle East when they were introduced.


    *the above may or may not be true.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭lulu1


    Enough of this gawking business I'm away to bed and I hope mu other half dosent gawk in my direction tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭Cait87


    Maybe grow some nice tall greenery as a barrier.Or pillars with a statue of a pair of lions. and they'll look at the lions instead of you.

    To be honest its like intimidation and its worst when I leave home. I lock the door and then walk to my car in the driveway and there is always a driver there looking to the right at me when i'm motioning to my veh-ickkle. No probs there as its a natural human reaction, its the ones who are national staring champions who piss me off.

    What right is their business when stuck in traffic waiting on a green light to stare at me going about my business? Can they not have the manners to look away when I notice them? Are there no other events in their miserable lives to gawk at in their day than to stare at me heading off in my car, I haven't confronted any of them yet but tempted!

    Send them a pic of your monkey. Be grand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,449 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Do you suffer from severe paranoia/anxiety at all?

    Surely you knew the traffic lights were there when you bought your house, jees these people that think they can dictate to gawking fans - surely the needs of thousands of gawkers outweigh the needs of one resident. Think of the economy and our international reputation...shït wrong thread.
