What do you do when people stare at you?

Question

I'm curious to see if anyone has responded to someone when they noticed they are staring at them. What happened?

When it happened to me once , I said, " Can I help you?"

Answer 1

if its a hut guy i smile at them a batt my eyelashes and if its a guy i don,t like then i will give them a look that says stop staring at me lol

Answer 2

i wave or say how are you? it makes them all nervous

Answer 3

Smile, laugh, wink, say "Hey, how's it going". Catch them off guard. No need to be rude. It may be because you're really attractive or have great style. We all do it. I love to people watch. :) Sometimes, I forget that I'm looking at someone, you know when you blank out and start thinking when you realize you're staring right at someone. Ops. :)

Answer 4

I have.  I usually say "Do I know you?"   Either they will stop or maybe you'll have a nice conversation.  Of course I wouldn't do this if you find them the least bit creepy.

Answer 5

it depends on how there lookin at me usually i say sumthin lyke y tha **** r lookin at me , or lyke u got a problem

Answer 6

I usually just keep staring at them until they look away.

Answer 7

Depends on your mood--you may stare back and smile or roll your eyes to tell them to buzz off lol.

Answer 8

When I see someone looking at me I never figure that it's about me...sometimes people's eyes get fixed on something and they're not really looking at it.  Happens to me all of the time...it's like a mini vacation.

Answer 9

I look back and if i accidently look into their eyes I go red and look away quickly lol

Answer 10

well, if its a hot guy then i just smile and look away, but if its a creeper i give them a dirty look, i basically tell them to back the h**l off, all in one look lol

Answer 11

Stare back and see who can stare the longest.

Answer 12

look at them then look away. don't look at them anymore.

Answer 13

If it's a woman stomp on her toes while she's wearing flipflops.

If it's a guy I give them the bird.

Answer 14

I just stare right back and raise and eyebrow. They always look away. Then I just keep trying to make eye contact all night till they are just wrecked. I should tell you that I'm 6"7 so I get stared at alot. people have no idea how rude they are being.

Answer 15

I try to smile or say hi. I get stared at alot for having dreadlocks and piercings and tattoos (although I don't see why people aren't used to that by now!) and I like to give the impression that people that look "weird" are actually very nice, normal people

Answer 16

Look right back and them and either say as you did, or smile and say something like, "how are you?"

The phrase "can I help you" can sometimes be construed as sarcastic.
