My grandfather & I used to go to the mall and get an ice cream and just watch people go by. It was always interesting to see what they were doing when they didn't think anyone was paying attention. It always made me more cautious of how I acted in public. lol

I love watching others. I'm a writer by profession and watching people helps me to create different characters and gives me an insight into the psyche of us humans. Sometimes when I watch say, a group of people walk into a cafe or a restaurant, I try to determine their relationships with each other. Often I've heard interesting exchanges between people when they thought no one understood their language. It turned out that they spoke the same language as me. I've watched various reactions and response of people in various situations, how they talk to waiters in restaurants or shopkeepers or to family members and the next instant greet someone who might be important for them in a shamelessly servile manner. Its very interesting to watch others provided you do it in an unobtrusive manner without the intention to probe.

I guess you could say that i people watch when I sit out on my patio and watch the cars and the people go by. It is cool to watch people when they think no one is paying attention.

i havent sat and ppl watched in quite a while now. but i used to love to sit at the beach while on my lunch break, eating and watching ppl go by. the best part of ppl watching is seeing them trip! lmao! omg its hilarious how EVERYBODY no matter what they trip on always looks back accusingly..even if it was their very own feet!
