Who's Foolin' Who?

Sometimes I get caught staring at people. This always embarrasses me as old school manners still resonate that staring isn’t polite.

My normal response after getting caught: look the other way for a bit, then back the original direction for a bit. That way I try to appear that I'm not staring, I'm simply looking around … for extended periods of time…

Maybe that person was turning to stare at you :-) I have the same reaction as you. Ryann likes to stare and I always ask her, "Didn't your mother teach you that it's not nice to stare?" Mike just thinks I'm crazy!

That's classic! I used to do that too, but now I find that I usually smile, nod, then look away. You know...just being friendly while I gawk at you.

Hmmm I like Laura's response. I will have to change mine to be like her--as I usually look away too.
