the guy on the airplane monday stared at me. it wouldn't have bugged me even thought he was wedged into the seat next to me but first he picked skin flakes off his hands and dropped them on the cabin floor. i was all like 'ick' and then he turned his slightly protruding eyes on me and stared at me off and on during the flight.. . .

OMFUG!! I HATE that shit!! Then they give me some weird compliment like "your skin is really brown" or "you have real curly hair" or "you have really white teeth" or"you're really pretty" and I'm all like thankx but damn do you HAVE to stare at my head, in my face, down my throat, and up my ass? Goodness.

All the time, sometimes I dont like it, I seem to get unconfortable. Most of them stare like this

yeah, but i'm used to it. it ain't everyday when you see a black woman with a septum piercing, bangs that are dyed bright red and several tattoos, i guess.

I wouldn't stare. I'd introduce myself. I like black people that don't fit "the stereotype" i.e. US.

DynamicSavior said:

the most i get from people is either:

1) people asking me if my tattoos are real and/or what they all mean
2) straight guys trying to get me to go out with 'em

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

oh my GOD! These pre-pubescent girls won't leave me the fuck ALONE! I wanna drop kick them and shit. And don't EVEN get me started on MY hair.

Same for me.
Once I was walking with my daughter in Paris, she was 6 and she told me : "why does EVERYBODY look at us ? Both of us ?"

If I'm feeling right it's ok, but when I feel down I hate it. And then JW come and usually talk to me, about religion, my dog ??? It happened a lot. I don't know why.

Who wouldn't I am so ghat damn hawt.

I hadn't gotten stared at in a while, but some lady outside of Long's Pharmacy decided I was the anti-christ in my black shirt and dark purple petticoat skirt. Not only was I stared at, but I was told through many of her shouts, to renounce my wicked ways and that I was demonic.

I have a SERIOUS problem with people staring at me. My friends say it's one thing that they notice I wig out over. I don't know why, it just makes me uncomfortable. Yes, I am one of those dickhead guys that will go up to someone and straight out ask them "why the fuck are you staring at me?!"

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.

Yes, people sometimes stare at me, and I stare right back and point and get my kids to stare too.

Shouldn't you have posted this in the "leave a message for an orger" thread?

I get stared at by men and babies. In college I studied developmental psychology and apparently babies like to look at symmetrical faces so that made me feel a little bit better but babies kinda scare me when they stare. Men just make me go depending on how they're staring.

uh..i mean

When I was in Canada it happened more than usual...and usual is almost never in California. But while in canada I did notice a larger amount of staring than normal.







AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!




This made me remember this restaurant I went to in the rural Toronto area(correct me on the location Sammi if U remember). There were 2 people in the whole restaurant...2 customers that is. There was like 3-4 waitreses> We waited by the "wait 2 b seated here" podium while the 3-4 waitresses that were there just looked at us...not doing much...just looking at us. Eventually after a couple of minutes, one of them approaced us and asked what we wanted. I was like, "to get a table, sit down and eat." "We have reservations for ALL the empty tables" was the bitch's reply. They're all reserved for 45 minutes from now> If U wanna eat U're gonna have to finish in 45 minutes." We said fine and sat down while the waitress scurried over to her friends and took 3-4 more minutes to talk more with her friends. Not doing much just standing and talking. They weren't busy doing anything for the ONE other couple who were there eating(age 55-65). They were all just standing around(the other couple was giving us strange looks as well by the way.) When the same person who sat us came over again 3,4, or 5 minutes later 2 finally ask us what we wanted to drink, we told her we were gonna leave and they we didn't want to eat there after all.



Some time later(more than 45 minutes later and after eating somewhere else), we passed the parking lot of that restaurant. By NO MEANS was there enough cars in that Parking Lot to insinuate that the other 10-12 tables were filled with people. There was about 2-3 cars in that Parking lot.



That was the worst Canada had to show me the 2 weeks I was there. Something tells me it could get A LOT worse depending on the region and time.

During the summer, I notice folks staring at my tattoos. I'm used to it by now.

I do hate it when strangers try talking to me, especially on the subway after a long day at work. Unless you're a hot chick, leave me the f--- alone.

yes people stare at me

well no cause this thread is about staring and the dude is singing about not being able to take his eyes of this chick....translation he keeps staring at her and can not stop so therefore I think its a good post for this thread.
