Stare

    Drives me mad. People who stare. Go for a coffee most mornings & there is this freak, who makes a point of sitting right near me, or some place he can stare. And he just stares. Its not a fancy stare, its a freaky stare, like he cannot help himself, some sort of OCD.

    People stare, alot. Not one myself, I find it draws unwanted attention upon yourself EG: staring at 2 people fighting

    Hate it. Are you guilty?

    The opposite of this. I barely even look at people, away in my own world and hardly notice people. This means I don't notice if people do stare except when with friends who give a crap about others like you, OP.

    In fairness, if I saw someone with their pants on their face, I'd stare too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    I dont stare but anytime I look in someones direction I make eye contact and they give me that "what the hell are you staring at" look. Its happened so often that I know whats happened so I dont give them the same look back which makes me look like the guilty party.

    Yeah I can relate, maybe if you smiled when you gave a glance around people might not react with hostility? I dunno

    People stare for all sorts of reasons Dude....suck it up an chill the fuck out !

    Take a look at yourself..is the lablel on your top sticking out ? Somebody could be staring at you and wondering "who is that dildo with the label on their top sticking out..should I tell them ?.

    Have you pants on ...sitting with you legs "ajar" and showing your "bits" will attract starers...hmm ?.

    If your a girl and have very big titts ..people will stare...probably muttering "look at the rack on that one...Jeeeeeeeeez "

    Are you "strange" in any way..putting your knife in your mouth....have a lot of tatoos........are you perhaps very fat ?.......

    Got a big arse maybe. ?....me ..I'll always stare at that...could I park my bike there ....wonder if she likes it "that way" etc etc.

    All sorts of reasons why people stare.......just don't be concerned ....check out the above

    :D

    He does it all the time & its an intense physco stare.

    You're probably used to those kind of situations yourself the whole time though?

    The stare has been a survival technique to exhibit dominance over peers since the dawn of time...There's only one solution OP -

    Walk over to the individual, smack them across the right cheek with a glove and scream (in an Optimus Prime-style voice if possible) "I challenge you to a duel!!"

    If they are willing to accept the challenge and produce some class of a weapon, exhibit your own survival technique - the flight response (or "Scatter!!").

    You must be a riiiiiiiiide. Pics please :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch

    Yeah I know but for some reason I'm always a split second ahead of them so I see them look over at me but to them it looks like I have been staring at them.

    You looking at me? YOU lOOKING AT ME? You looking at me? YOU LOOKING AT ME? Err, No mate, I'm looking at the TV that's right behind you. Any chance you'd schooch down a bit?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Muckit


    How many seconds separate a look from a stare?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,184 ✭✭✭KINGVictor


    I think the most important question is how do you see people that stare at you without looking at them yourself?

    More importantly, I dont really care, let them look away as long as there is no abuse or physical confrontation.

    Simple solution, it may go against your natural inclination, but it should work.

    Next time make eye contact with the guy, then wrestle a snot from your nose. Examine it closely and deliberately, then recycle it. Disgusting I know, but it will put an end to your problem.

    Another lad who does it, and kept on doing it, last time, I stuck my tongue out at him - he jumped out of his skin

    It was good

  • Registered Users Posts: 564 ✭✭✭ChunkyLover54


    OP, say to that person "Take a picture . It will last longer"

    That should get them to look somewhere else

    Everyone in Ireland seems to be interested in what everyone around them is doing, nosey as hell! I like how in other countries nobody gives a toss. You can do what you want, dress how you like, etc and nobody will care. Just keep to themselves. :(

    Really? You mean like Saudi Arabia et al?

    Go fer it,dude.


  • Registered Users Posts: 164 ✭✭EdanHewittt


    The power of a stare to ruin a person's carefully crafted outward appearance to the world is something I hold in high regard.

    There are certain cultures who have mastered the art of the stare. See: this

    You have to use this power moderately. Stare too much, and people won't notice you. Your stare juice runs out very quickly when you just do it for the sake of it.

    Collect enough stare juice, and you can penetrate the depths of someone's soul by one glance. Over the top? Fancy pancy you say?

    Try getting onto a LUAS packed full of non-nationals and you figure this thing out very quickly.

    True,but one thing I've noticed anytime I have been in Dublin is nobody seems to give a toss what you wear,you could go around wearing a bin liner and nobody would bat an eyelid.Not like that in culchie land I'm afraid.:mad:

    You sound like bit of a looper in fairness.

    Take your pants off your face, theres a good lad and you won't be having no problems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Jester252


    I sometimes stare at people without known. I just go into deep though and I only notice when some one point it out.
