What do you do when people stare at you...

[redqueen]

and you're not in the right environment to just yell, "What the $#&@ are you looking at?!"

[Parche]

1. Boobies, we are looking ab Boobies damnit

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[redqueen]

3. Shut up!

[Broken_Hero]

2. I just stare back, and slowly start

making a goofy face.

[redqueen]

4. That might imply I don't mind the staring,

might it not?

Doesn't it irritate you?

[Broken_Hero]

5. Sometimes

the last time it happened to me, it was at the store, and they just double blinked and looked away(when I stared back/made goofy face). It only irritates me when its so obvious/or the person is trying to intimidate me/stare me down, but I'm a big large man, who is really still pissed off over GWB's 8yrs of hell, so I welcome the confrontation....:evilgrin:

:D

My wife gets stared at from time to time, last time it happened to her it scared her. Dude at the restaurant was staring at her for a whole hour or so, and when my wife and her co-workers left, he got up and followed them. The ladies got the host fella from the restaurant to walk them out to their cars.

6. depends on why they are staring

[redqueen]

11. Yeah...

well I'm not sure... so... :shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. ask them, if they need help? or do they have a questions? or something innocuous

that points to the fact that you know they are staring

[taterguy]

7. Check to see if my fly is unzipped

And then wonder what the hell else I could have done to provoke the stare

[redqueen]

12. LOL... I know it's not that...

but yeah, I used to wonder if I had a booger hanging out or something. Now I just get annoyed and don't really care I just want them to stop!

GRRRR! He just did it AGAIN! AAAAA! :P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Sometimes I make a fish face.

[Dora]

9. Pick my nose and make eye contact. nt

[redqueen]

Eye contact doesn't seem to do anything to stop the staring.

:shrug:

[NJmaverick]

10. I don't know, I don't ever remember anyone starring at me

[guitar man]

13. stare back

And if they keep staring, I can't imagine very many environments where I wouldn't ask them WTF they are looking at. But then again I can be an uncouth bastard. :rofl:

[redqueen]

15. Last night that is exactly what I wanted to do.

The staring back did absolutely nothing.

I would have said it but I had my daughter with me.

[guitar man]

17. I understand that

Having my daughter with me is the time when I tend to bite my tongue a bit. Otherwise, I'll rip into somebody's ass in a hot minute ;)

[davsand]

16. If you can't ask "WTF are YOU lookin at??" you can always ask,, "Can I HELP you?"

IF you use a really snotty tone it is every bit as effective as a "WTF" can be. Seems to work in just about every setting.

19. Well in the case of the co-worker...

I've done it. He just takes it as an invitation to chat.

[Captain Hilts]

18. I stop and stare back. nt

[unpossibles]

20. It depends on how they are staring. Lick my lips and stare back?

I don't know. Ask them if I have a booger?

[Bucky]

21. Can you just ask him "Please quit staring at me. You're creeping me out" or ...

or, failing that, shoot him?

[redqueen]

22. LOL

I'm about ready to yeah.

He's done it now and then since he started here, but it's really getting to be a bit much.
