Mostly for the ladies…
Do you say something when a man is staring (I don’t just mean catches your eye, I mean repeatedly staring) and it makes you feel uncomfortable?
I mean in an everyday situation.
I was in the McDonald’s drive through and the man in front didn’t take his eyes off me the whole time! He was side on initially and I was pointing towards him if you know what I mean but even when the queue moved and I was behind him, he was still staring in his wing mirror.
Would you say something? I didn’t but wanted to! |

I'm gobby, so I might say "is there something on my dress/coat/skirt [insert suitable thing]?"
Guarantee they won't have the balls to reply and will avert eyes PDQ. Then, smooth down your dress/coat/skirt etc, as if you were removing a bit of fluff, then carry on. |

You must have been staring back to see that he was staring at you.
Maybe it’s love.
Sorry, I’m being flippant. I’m that situation, I can’t see there’s much you can do short of getting out the car and asking him not to. Is there? |

"I cannot bear being stared at. It's like a red rag to a bull.
I'd of indicated to him with a wtf???? It's rude and unnecessary.
"
I kind of looked at him as if to say “what?” but he wasn’t deterred so I looked away but he continued to stare so I ignored him but it did annoy me. |

He was right in front of me and I could see out of the corner of my eye that he was staring. Then when I was driving behind him, he was staring in his bloody wing mirror!
It’s rude and at times, intimidating. I wish men wouldn’t do this. |

"I stare back. I’d stare till they gave up or one of us died.
I would have but I didn’t want him to think I fancied him!
You are very attractive though. I imagine you get it a lot x  "
Dunno where the thumb came from lol  |

Not today I’m not! He could only see my head and my hair isn’t brushed and I’m not wearing makeup!
Oh god, maybe he was staring because I look like a tramp hahaha
Thanks though
I love the thumb |

Most times I would NOT say anything.
I am not shy, I am not scared but I am also not a reactionary , inflamatory twat ......
One staring twat is enough in a queue without another twat lighting their own blue touch paper.
I'd only say something if absolutely necessary and even then It'd be polite and a distraction more than a direct confrontation.

What I like to do it start at them, gesture them over and ask them what they are doing. Then when you explain to them how rude it is they either become all defensive and ruder or apologise.
It takes alot for me to hold my tongue. |

"I would have just smiled and waved.
Although I did this once and they waved back  "
Yes to me that be the best move. Then just get out the situation if you're not interested in talking to them. I get this when I walk into a unknown local pub. Everyone turns around to see who coming into their pub thinking "you're not from around these parts" lol  |

Is like that where I moved to, keep looking out for the werewolf on the way home especially when the fog rolls in! |

Depends what mood I was in...I'd have either stared back, blown him a kiss and then scowled at him, or phone a particular friend on hands free, make sure it was full volume and tell her about a creepy guy staring at me in the queue, because I know she'd have a rant about creepy men that he'd be able to hear |

Should have picked your nose then pretended to eat it. Some guys have no appreciation of social etiquette - just don’t flash your lights to get him to move… he’ll think you’re dogging and next thing his knob will be in the window. It’s creepy unnecessary and threatening behaviour as it made you feel uncomfortable - he probably thought his smouldering gaze would turn you on. Maybe he recognised you from here ? Either way its out of order xx |

As you were both in cars, I don't think there would have been much you could've done but appreciate how uneasy you could've felt. You're very attractive so it's easy to say you must be used to it but it's insane that some men lack the social awareness to know what they're doing.
I would say to use the classic "take a picture, it'll last longer" but that's how you end up as a shrine |

I don’t like public confrontation, but will speak up when required. I did feel really uncomfortable though and I think because he wasn’t smiling with it, it was creepy.
Shouldn’t let it have bothered me I suppose but I should be able to sit in my car without feeling uncomfortable.
What’s wrong with some people? |

It is one of those difficult ones, sometimes i find myself staring at other women and dont realise it. But do get used to people staring, as said in another thread, OH has a striking resemblance to Bruce Willis, wishes could do the voice, unfortunately thats a give-away |

Mill assume as he was driving that he was not blind, open to being corrected on that though.
Also, I was wearing quite a large coat, all he could see was my face. |

2 triple burgers and 3 large fries.  |
