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!

Its clear that the only women they see is on T.V and they just can't help themselves when they see an actual 'real' woman going about her business. they wouldnt stare if it was a man or child.

Research fencing walls and tall gates on google images to give yourself a few ideas. you might feel a bit more secure.

People sitting in traffic queues will gawk at just about anything to break the tedium. As you seem to be stuck in that situation can't you just blank them . Look in the distance , they're not there!

Why are you complaining? From you say you are winning every staring competition ever!

Ererct a 3.5m high wall around your house like the feuding families in Limerick do without the councils consent. Obviously if you do something like that, you'll probably have it torn down, fine, jail, death.

So firstly...

Join a feuding families clan in Limerick or your local area. You can do this either by a) being impregnated by a member b) being impregnated by a family member.

Then proceed to build said wall, safe in the knowledge that no authority in Ireland will do anything about it.

Learn to live with the fact that you'll have 10 times as many gawkers gawking at your wall.

Make a thread on AH about people gawking at your wall. Obviously do this after you make a thread about your dole payments.

The AH community will lambast you for your life choices, the thread will then be locked by the mods because of abuse against a certain element in society who must be cradled and mollycoddled at all times

PC brigade fumbles into this thread looking for specifics on "what do you mean certain element in society?"

That's another thread, stop derailing this one PC twats.

Park your car facing out of the drive. If you leave the house and spot a gawker, hop into the car and burn the eyeballs off them with the full beams, and front foglights too if you have them. Don't forget to start your engine first. We wouldn't want you running down your cars battery.

Just flash them. That'll teach them!

_Whimsical_ · 13-07-2014 12:06AM

You sound a little hyper aware OP. The truth is at any given moment in a public situation someone somewhere is probably staring at you. Most of us don't even notice or if we do we don't give a flying fig. Stop staring so intently back at other people and presuming that you're the centre of their universe for those few seconds/minutes. Very often even if people are looking right at you they're lost in their own thoughts and hardly see you.

Not good advice there, they'll simply think it's a green light and ram the car in front of them, automatically and instinctively.

All puns intended, but serious tooo. :P

PizzamanIRL · 13-07-2014 12:18AM

I find it funny when people complain about other people staring at them. You have to be staring at them to know they're staring at you.

lulu1 · 13-07-2014 12:20AM

These men that you say are gawking at you wont even remember your face 2 mins down the road. Its when they stop gawking you should worry.

kingchess · 13-07-2014 12:22AM

I feel your pain, op.every day as I does be driving to work I pass a set of traffic lights and sometimes this mad looking one does be leaving her house and she do be giving me the glad eye , and shure you know it well yourself,it do be hard not to get into a staring contest(which she usually wins when the light changes to green).anyways all the best to you and hope those ejits will cop on and stop the auld gawking,

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?

You've some memory, I can be looking at her and 1/15th of a second later can never remember her again.

I mean like I've had actual full sex that did not last two minutes. Let alone remember a non descript woman unloading shopping in her driveway.

This. Generally when I'm sat at the lights and I see women walk past, it's not necessarily them I'm looking at.

It's their arses. :pac:

Gouge their eyes out with pencils.

guitarzero · 13-07-2014 03:42AM

Wave at them, say hi, tell them you're glad they noticed you and to just go on ahead staring and you'll just carry on like you're oblivious. Freak them out.

Arthur Beesley · 13-07-2014 08:01AM

Consider changing your diet or seeing your GP. Having the gawks is no laughing matter.

What shall I do with gawkers?
