Have I Got a Booger in My Nose?

Jeez! Take a picture! It will last longer! I just went to the mailbox to get my company mail and some guy came out of one of the other offices and stared at me while he walked to his car and then stood there like he forgot how to open his car door. He grabbed something then went back into the office and, as I was headed back, he had gotten back into his car and was driving he and his friend away and, he was, again, staring at me so hard that he drove almost to close to me. If he weren't paying a little bit of attention to the fact that he was driving, he might have hit me with his car! Ok...so either I have a boog in my nose, I look really weird today, or I was the most lovely being he has ever set eyes on. Either I should be re-evaluating myself and my appearance today or really flattered! Either way, that much staring was uncomfortable for the object of the stare (me)! LOL! Has this ever happened to you? Has someone stared so hard at you that they practically lost track of what they were doing? Maybe even getting with a foot of hitting you with their car? Not to mention, having a hard time figuring out the door handle to get into their car! LOL!

I do this too sometimes. If someone is wearing something very pretty I want to look at it, but I try to catch myself so I don't seem like a creep lol.

well, my opinion is that he probably thought you were one hot mama, lol.. I'd take it as a compliment since it was a man.. if it were a woman staring I sometimes get mad and blurt out "what are u looking at?!"lol just depends on the mood i'm in I guess.. but if the guy was lookin that hard I'd say he thought u were hot. so feel good about it! hehe maybe next time if you see him again and he's staring you can just give him a little smile and say hi.. maybe he was trying to work up the nerve to talk to you. or... if your not interested you could always ask him those same questions you posted here.. just blurt out "what ya lookin' at? do I got a booger in my nose or something?!" then I bet he'll be done looking and just think ur totally crazy..lol

Jennifer and tessah! LOL! I will chose to think I look Hot today! LOL! It does feel good to think someone thought that much of my "Hotness" that they nearly ran me over! LOL! And, when I first noticed him staring at me, I did give him a smile. I always smile at people. It is just my nature! But, whew...once I realized he wouldn't take his eyes off me, I started to get uncomfortable! LOL! But, you're right! I am Hot today! LOL! And, with the slightly cooler temperature, high winds and overcast skies, my area needs me today! LOL! Seriously, I am not that egotistical! But, it is fun to believe the hype! LOL!

Hi Cortjo, Maybe you look like someone he knows and can't figure it out. I'd just be flattered and leave it alone until the next time it happens. If it happened again, I'd have to ask if he enjoyed starring at you. I have been starred at before, but not to that extinct. Good Luck if finding out why he was starring so hard.

Hello Icyorchid! You might be right! It was just both funny and a little disturbing to be stared at like that! LOL! He couldn't peel his eyes off me while he was getting into his car and, then he didn't happen to notice how close he got to me with his car and, I was getting a little freaked out thinking he might want to run me over or something. LOL! Yikes! Anyway, thank you for the suggestion that I might look like someone he knows. We don't know one another...at least, not that I know. I didn't recognize him. It could still be a boog but, I don't see one! LOL!

You must look darn good today. I have this happen alot and well Im used to it and some would say I ask for it. I will dress sexy because it is what I like to do. And yes I will admit i love the attention. I am what they cal an attention wh**e I guess lol. I say if you got it might as well show it off (yes im a little conceited). And I still wear short shorts and stuff while pregnant. I guess this is why most moms dont seem to like me so much.

Thank you! I did feel that I looked a little cute! Cute outfit choice and, not too shabby as far as the rest of it! But, I guess I went a little more like above and beyond today! LOL! And, I am a firm believer in the show off what you got idea! So, I think you are perfectly right to do so. I try to dress in a comfortable marriage of sexy sophistication kind of way! LOL! I can't wear short shorts just because I do have some nice cottage cheese on my thighs so, I am too embarrassed about it to wear anything that doesn't cover it! LOL! But, I have seen women of all ages and even pregnant women pull it off really well! I can't deny that I like the attention if I get it! I do! It makes me feel good! I think that the fact that this guy might have hit me was the only thing that bothered me a little. That, and with him practically driving his car towards me, I wasn't sure of his intentions until he passed me and I knew that he wasn't getting ready to either try to hit me or to try to grab me or something! LOL! And, you know...maybe the moms across the street (the snobs previously referenced) don't like me because I am "Hawt" as others are telling me here in this post! LOL! Now I almost feel like posting a real picture of myself to get everyone's real opinion! LOL!

LOL--this is so hilarious only because I can relate here. Sometimes that will happen to me while I'm standing on line at the supermarket or post office...or even, yikes just walking down the street...It used to make me so self=conscious as I was always a rather shy person...then as I got a bit older, I'd stare back and I used to inwardly think to myself..yikes you should know me next time we meet..now I've gotten a bit more daring and vocal and will often say to my starer ..."What are you staring at?"

First of all - he stared at you because you had a booger in your nose! Secondly - he stared at you because you are so stunning his eyes got crossed! Either way - at least he didn't run you over! LOL I remember a time when my boys were young and the three of us had just moved into a new neighbourhood. One morning I rushed outside in my lounge pajamas (very sexy!lol) to put some stuff in the garbage pail at the end of the drive. A couple of the older neighbour ladies were outside gabbing to each other, and suddenly I hear one say "Just look at her! I just KNOW she's the hussy (yes she actually used the word hussy!) that's having it off with my husband! I just ignored them and went back in the house swishing my tush a little more than usual! LOL Anyway, a few weeks later, I open my front door and these two harpies are standing on my doorstep all decked out to impress (didn't work on me!) and sweetly asked me for money for a charity they were canvassing for. I looked at them, then at my watch, and sweetly said "Oh, I am sorry ladies, but I'm rather skint at the moment, however, (and I turned to the woman who had said I was sleeping with her husband) Mrs. Brown, you're husband is due here at 2pm for his regular Thursday appointment, so if you ladies would like to come back at 2:15 I would be more than happy to contribute to your charity" Big smile by me! They couldn't get off my doorstep fast enough and I laughed all the way back to my coffee and donuts! ROFL

LOL! I wondered if it might be both! And, I always new you were a hussy! LOL! Seriously, what is with neighbors sometimes? LOL! I have a couple neighbors that don't seem to like me either for some reason! I don't know why. But, perhaps they think I am the hussy that is doing it with their hubbys too! LOL! And, Spark...what is "skint"? LOL! I am not familiar with that term! LOL!

How odd is that! And yes uncomfortable as well- I would have waved to the guy. Or given him the finger! depending on my mood. Yes I have had people stare at me--- a lot of times.. it drives me crazy--- When I walk outside-- for exercise I have cars that go by and stare.. its so odd... it's like haven't you ever seen anyone walking before-- ok so my boobs get a flopping sometimes--- I can't help it- you still shouldn't stare- LOL.... I'm glad they didn't run you over!

LOL! I am glad he didn't run me over too! LOL! I just gave him a smile when I first noticed him looking at me. But, then he continued to stare at me and he just wouldn't stop! LOL! Weird huh? I bet the reason people are staring at you is because they can't tear their eyes off of your sparkling gorgeousness! Take it as a compliment! That is how I am choosing to look at it! LOL!

Goodness CortJo what the heck were you wearing? Its been awhile since I have turned a head like that, but if I have so mind I am sure I can at least get a swiveled neck LMAO Perhaps I might not get run over with his car, but If I tried hard enough :)))) WTG I think LMAO....

LOL! I did have a pretty top on but, nothing inappropriate! LOL! I call it sophisticated sexy! LOL! And, it was a black silk to with thick shoulder straps that cinches at the waist with a tie. In fact, this is what I was wearing: http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=5438&pid=565268&scid=565268012 LOL! See! Nothing too sexy! And, I had a nice pair of dressy goucho capris and a pair of black sandals. LOL! I don't have enough self confidence to carry off anything to sexy! LOL! And, I bet that you have turned so many heads that you just don't even notice it anymore! Right? I'm right, aren't I! Yup! I thought so!

I can't say I know of anyone who was looking at me THAT hard! LOL. You probably just look fantastic today ! When people stare at me it is for a different reason, usually. I usually don't get a second look if I am around other college students (I live in a college town) but since it's also a small country-ish town, whenever the "older" crowd sees me I get stares because I am tattooed, I guess. There is this old lady at the post office who just stares at my chest (tattoo) every time with this kind of look of disgust, but she is still nice to me so I don't care lol. When my head was shaved it was very uncomfortable to go out anywhere.. I am a pretty confident person and I like to think I don't care about what other people think of me, but darn if I didn't get stared at so much I was starting to feel self-conscience. I wish I got more stares like yours!

Thank you! I am choosing to believe that that is the reason the guy was staring at me! LOL! As for you, I bet that you are more self-conscious about your tats and think that is the only reason people stare at you. If your avatar is you, you are very pretty! And, if that is your tattoo in your avatar, it is very bright and striking but, I think that you are equally as bright and striking! So, maybe your tattoo catches their attention, but you keep their attention!

Well it was probably a compliment. He was staring at you because he thinks your the sexiest thing he has ever seen. There have been times when that has happened. But I am really, really self conscious about myself so when people look at me for too long I usually think that I must look horrible or something. But listen Cortjo seriously next time he does that you should give him a little something, something and start swinging your hips or something. ;)

LOL. Well at least you have that. But my friends have told me that I walk like a soldier. But it's weird that I walk like that because I'm a dancer and when I dance I really let lose.

LOL! I like to pretend that I am not self-conscious and that I am a bundle of confidence but, I am like you! I am really pretty self-conscious too! LOL! I do have one thing though. Something that the hubby has pointed out to me when he watches me walk! I do tend to shake my booty and swing my hips when I walk. It isn't overly exaggerated or an inappropriate amount...at least, not according to my often brutally honest hubby. But, there is a sort of strut that belies the confidence that I really don't have! LOL! So, I guess I probably inadvertently did swing my hips as I passed that guy! LOL!

that is annoying exspecially if no one said anything to you about it. I have to say something if it is there. But i have seen people that know it and have not said a word to the other person. Just know if you see it on someone else say something to them; so they don't feel stupid.

I being a Gemini(Twin sign) get this alot. People will stare at me and when I do ask some of the people they say that I look exactly like someone they know. So that may be the case. You never know, Boog, zipper undone, your radiance, or someone you look like. Could be any of these things

it's still really rude for someone to just stare at you like that... if there was something on your face he should have told you... but it could be that he thought you were so hot his eyes were practically glued onto you...

cortjo73 yes one time years back I was waiting for my bus to take me home for my days off and this man ion thge bus depot kept staringat me and finally he came over and literally swept me off my feet and planted a big sloppy kiss on my mouth and I was too shocked to do anything. He said then my God Ruth so you did come to meet me Ruthie darling. then I woke up to the fact that he was in army fatigues. I said when I could get my mouth working I think you have made a big mistake I am not your Ruth Then he really looked at me and apologized all over the place. He showed me a picture of his sweethart Ruth I was totally shocked. we looked like sisters, same hair style same coloring same height same weight just about. I could see where he might have mistook me for his Ruth. But Ruth was about seven years older than I was at that time. I never did forget the look on his face when he realized he had kissed a total stranger.
