When ever i catch someone looking at me that I don't know, I stare into their eyes raise one eyebrow and give my best pedo bear smile

Edit: Oh, just remembered a good one. Sometimes in my cooking glass my teacher goes off talking about a recipe or a work sheet we're suppose to do, and during this I zone out sometimes and I lock eyes on the garbage can at the front of the class. My teacher stops talking and a friend of mine, walks over to talk and leans over on my desk wearing a low cut top. She asks me something and I didn't even hear what she said, so I just nod my head and grunt. Then I zoned in and I realize that she asks me if I was staring at her cleavage. She gave me the classic "You pig" stare and she ignored me for the rest of class

I hope this isn't you creeping someone out without meaning to lol.

BTW I feel bad about this but I cracked up so much about the story earlier in the thread where the guy accidentally took his knife out and the woman in the car next to him locked the doors and screamed.

Today I was pulling on to my street and I noticed a car in the spot on the street where I always park mine (the entire street is literally open except for 1 driveway slot). I pull a u-turn, and pull directly behind the car which has some woman on the phone. I pull RIGHT UP to her hoping she'll just pull away so I can park by the path to my entrance like I always do. She doesn't move, so I eventually turn off the car, get out, and start walking. As I'm about to pass her car she locks the doors lol.

I was always doing alright in university without ever doing too much work which is basically because my memory (unless I'm in blow out mode) is pretty good. So I'm talking to a girl who's sitting next to her boyfriend with another female friend of hers nearby at the typical semester end party. I proceeded to tell them every single outfit, from clothes to jewelry etc. for the entire first week of the semester without a single mistake. (they double checked on facebook).

Later that night her boyfriend was fairly drunk and goes "dude, I get that my gf is a sweet girl and you can't do really anything if you have a crush on her.. bla bla... but keep the fuck away or it will end badly for you".

I have this habit of falling asleep with my eyes open. Like, wide open. I can be at a party, holding a drink, totally asleep while people talk to me and I just kind of mumble back. It's also really awkward when it happens in bed with a girl; can you imagine waking up and seeing the guy you're in bed with just staring at you? But yeah, it's never caused any breakups or anything, just a little creepy.

Wait, what? Yeah I guess I would be pretty surprised


he's saying imagine you're the chick and you wake up with a guy staring at you...

Doesn't really fit the theme but it's the closest anecdote I have:
I was riding on a bus and some woman was sitting in front of me. She just had that something about her that provoked bullying from within me. Like, something's bothering her, but she falls into victimhood. I had the urge to fart. I did, just for the lulz. Then I almost cracked up laughing as I observed her 'struggle' with the scent.

It's funny how some people draw actions from you that you'd never do around other people.

One time a girl friend of mine and I were at the mall in line to buy food or something. Anyways there was a couple right next to us in line and the guy was wearing the exact same sweater I was wearing at the time. Needless to say, she started playing around (touching) the guy's back thinking it was me. I heard a laughter and turned around to see my embarrassed friend, the guy looking bewildered and his girlfriend pissed off.

Another time, I was walking back to my dorm room from class. Anyways, I see a girl walking in my direction and giving me a weird look. I didn't even realize why she was giving me a stare until I noticed I had a mini umbrella tucked in my pocket in a funny position. It had rained earlier that day, so I had the umbrella and didn't even realize I had it in my pocket.

I have this really bad habit of observing people in large, crowded areas. Anyways it's always uncomfortable when they get pro timing and stare back just a second right after I look at them. Makes me feel like they're thinking that I've been staring at them the whole time.

Also it sucks when you're heading one way and the person in front of you is also conveniently heading in the same direction. I purposely start walking slower or just pass them in fear of them thinking I'm stalking them.

haha I did this the other night.

I got right up behind this guy without even realising it, he turned around really quickly and looked seriously freaked out. I just apologised and kept walking.

My mother likes to tell this story (a lot): apparently I started using complete sentences VERY soon after I started to talk. So whenever my mother would take me to the grocery store or something I'd say or ask things in proper, complete sentences. And it would freak people out. So much so that apparently one woman ran off after hearing me and came back five minutes later with three other people just to prove it had happened.

There was this weird guy in my college. I met him maybe once (friend of a friend) and saw that he was going to take summer classes as well so I befriended him because I didn't know anyone else taking summer classes. It turns out he lived in the suite right next to mine and he would come over to hang out because he'd get immensely bored. A few days after we all moved in, he got bored and came over but everyone was busy and stayed in their room. I went back to the room to do some hw for about an hour and when I went to the kitchen for some water he was sitting in the living room... kinda in the dark... with the TV off. I go wtf, and he says he's just bored so I just went back in my room to finish my work and when I came back out an hour later, he was still sitting there in the dark... doing nothing... and NO ONE else came out of their room once during this whole time so he basically sat alone in the room for 2 hours doing nothing (I can generally hear when people move around in the suite).

A few weeks later, everyone in the suite was hanging out in the living room, eating pizza, playing CS and smash brothers and when I went back to my room to get something, he was just in my room sitting on my bed (lights on this time). I was like... "WTF, is he trying to steal my shit?" but I realize that I don't really have anything to valuable steal with the exception of my wallet and laptop (which I had with me). Turns out he was looking for my nail clippers because I let him use it a week ago and I guess he didn't want to ask for permission again. (jesus you can just ask again)

It turns out that he is just socially awkward (which i can understand) but man what a fucking weirdo.

I work at a golf course, and on slow days I tend to either waste time on tl or do something insanely productive, because I hate sitting there and doing nothing. On the day in question, I went the productive route, and decided to take inventory of everything in the pro shop...a job that should technically get done monthly but in reality gets done about once a season. Anyways it is about a 3 hour time investment but I knew that I had 6 hours of shift left with minimal customer interruptions due to crumby weather that looked like it was just going to get worse, so I decided to go for it.

Now during all of this, my coworker was giving lessons to children. Like, intro to golf kinda stuff, and it was just him and about a dozen 8-10 year olds learning how to putt and how to hold clubs and whatnot. The lessons are only about an hour long, and there are 3 lessons a day, one for 8-10, one for 11-13, and one for 14-16, all one right after the other, so often times parents wait around in the building during the lessons, and many people have children spread across the three lessons, so the kids wait with them for their turn. On this day, one of the girls from the 11-13 year old lesson and her mother were hanging around in the pro shop while her younger sister had her 8-10 lesson, and I was just doing what parts of the inventory I could do without actually getting out from behind the desk I was sitting at.

So anyways, I get to the "Vokey Wedges" section of the inventory sheet, and begin counting the vokeys from their bag across the room from me. Now, this was difficult to do, since I was about 20 feet away and I not only had count how many there were, but I also had to distinguish between 2 different finishes on the clubs, so needless to say there was a lot of squinting, head tilting, and muttering to myself, but I got the job done. (also, I have a habit of biting my lower lip when I am thinking hard about something) So just as I finish, I see something move just to the side of the bag I had been studying very intently for the last 30 seconds, and realize it is none other than Breanne, the 11-13 year old girl waiting for her lesson, that had apparently just been bent over, facing away from me, tying her shoes. Now it didn't click in my mind what I had done until I saw her mother's face, which was wearing the expression that only a mother that just watched someone thoroughly mind-fuck their pre-teen daughter can muster.

Luckily, the mother was rendered entirely speechless by the event, but I have never felt more disgusting in my entire life.

Once i was walking on my way home, and there was this guy who was running on the streets, he looked just as a friend so i started waving on a stupid way. He started running way faster, so i realized that it wasnt him.
I felt so incredibly stupid

One night I decided to ask the bartender at my favorite bar for her number because I think she is cute. I dont remember seeing her before so I ask for her name. She replies "Ryan, I have been serving you Grizzly Brown [my favorite beer and the reason I go to this bar] for 2 years whenever you come in, how do you not know my name?"

Not quit creepy but very very awkward.

So I go to an overnight church camp and it being my first camp experience I couldn't sleep and ended up staying up all night playing cards. During the day I get tired and find a spot in the chapel to sleep. Next thing I know, I'm opening up a tent with two girls in it. I look around and it looks like my tent but it's not. I apologize and zip back up their tent and my friends come up to me and are like "WTF? Are you ok?" It turns out I slept walked from the chapel out to the camp grounds.

What even weirder is that it had been raining and people left their shoes outside as to not track mud into the chapel / offices. During my sleep walk, I managed to find and put on my shoes among probably 70+ pairs, walk through the camping grounds which had a good amount of pine trees and big puddles of mud, and open up a stranger's tent before I snapped back to reality. I also picked up someones small bag which I just left near the shoes because I have no idea where it came from.

So true. I watch a ton of documentaries on anything from history to any science to serial killers. I've learned to leave out that last part.


Duh why the hell would anyone get creeped out if I know about serial killers? I can say I'm a Psychology major doing my doctorate thesis or something...~XD~

Nah, its just you. Consult a psychologist about your bullying tendencies before you hurt someone. Jeez. What a creep.

The best story I got was that I was only a spectator, me my mom and my step dad were going grocery shopping in a crowded store, in a crowded isle. My mom is legally blind, (she can make out shapes ect, but has little to no depth perception and can't read unless its huge font), she had drifted down the isle from my step dad, and was trying to make her way back to him. She thought she had found him and put her arm around him and pulled him close. Of course in reality, she was grabbing some 70 year old man, as my step dad was farther down the isle. The man jumped, swore and walked away briskly with my mom apologizing behind. Looking back on it, I could of stopped the whole thing as I could tell what was going to happen, but it was too funny to not let it go.

Here are some tips for you creepers to try:
- When someone you are staring at sees you, just blink a few times and continue looking blankishly at their general direction. Usually the person thinks you aren't actually watching them and the awkwardness is averted;
- When you are in a hurry and there is some slow-walker blocking the narrow sidewalk in front of you, try to make some sound, like drag your feet a little or cough. The person in front will instinctively clear the way.
