this is the first time it has really happened to me honestly, i was out today and i came upon this man who was a little weird looking but i never really pay any attention so i just stood there waiting to pay for my stuff and i'm a guy and im not really freaked out or scared by anything much honestly and he just looked at me and when he did he stared at me for a few minutes and that really freaked me out because his stare with his eyes were really weird...like he could kill me or something...so has this ever happened to you? i would like to take this time to thank everyone for taking the time out of your day to come by and read and review my discussion and hopefully answering, and trying to help me, and i hope that you all have a great day and night tonight, thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

Well, probably I have. I mean, I know I have seen some weird people, I simply can't really remember a situation. Maybe the guy you saw was blind or something, and he heard you breathing, and he was trying to figure out if someone was behind him.. or something. I don't know. I think that most of the time, I'm the weird stranger.

Yes it has. I work in the public and often times a person will look at me in a way that I really can't define but I do know what you mean here. I call them out on it. I will say...What?. I will proceed to tell them that they just looked upset or something and I wondered if I had in anyway offended them. ALWAYS the person has kind of snapped to and said that they were daydreaming & not even aware of the look on their face. If you didn't know the guy and you didn't do anything wrong...i'm willing to bet that is probably it. Also some people just have that look on their faces. My boss tells me that I tend to always have an almost smile on my face all the time even when he knows that I am not real happy...i'm not even aware of it. Likewise some people have that grumpy look when they aren't at all.

Actually that happened to me several times, it's really uncomfortable. But most of them, what I realized is there a gays. It may not be obvious when you look at them, but that's what I always concluded. Anyway, let's just avoid those kind of people. We better do something to lose from his sight. But sometimes they even follow you, it happened to me. So what I did is I walked fast and I made sure that he can't follow me anymore. That's really give us a bad day. =)

hi jhl930 Just once, I was in a line in the grocery store
and this dark skinned man was staring a hole through me, and his face looked really angry. His wife was wearing pajamas and a longh head scarf thing. They looked Arabian and I just wondered why he was looking at me like that. I didnt know the man at all. But the next day I was busy at my job shelving books in the library when I saw this man and his wife again. He came over to me with a kids book, and he started talking loudly to me, telling me that the book was full of p rofanity and so on and on. I told him that he should speak to my supervisor. He practicallyscreamed at me, just get the man here.When I said it was a she, he was really upset so I just went and got the branch manager,I told her the man wanted to talk to the man in charge. she laughed and went over to talk to him. Pretty soon they both were talking loudly, then Emily the manager motioned to mee, Call the police so I did so. all this time his wife was totally embarrassed and crying at all the commotion going on. The police soon got everyone quieted down, and the couple left with their one little girl. I never did see this man in the library again, and that was okay with me.

ha ha ha scared of the stare? Just stare back and make him lower his lids. No i have never been sacred of anyone' stare. I don' think I could get scared like this.It takes a lot to scare me. i cannot imagine such a situation where i can jsut get scared by a man's stare.

This had happened to me for how many times already, but not often. I believe it`s the very reason why I am not used to look at somebody eye-to-eye. I just hate staring `coz it scares me the most.

hi.
For me, as long as he wont harm me, he can stare at me even till dawn. It is just a stare and no overt negative act committed. If I were you, try to be positive about it. Smile at him and see what his reaction will be. Do not be paranoid. Looks can't kill you know.
happy myLotting.

Strangely enough, although I live in a very small town, this has happened to me. With me being a girl it totally freaked me out, so naturally I found the nearest security officer and pointed him out!! Gave me the creeps!! Hope your day gets better, and remember, it's Halloween, so there are all sorts of weirdo's out!!

Well, that sounds so weird. I heve never meet before. Be careful next time you meet that man. Don't look straight into his eyes, just do what you need to do and go away.
Do be careful.

Former movie star Michael Landon said that most people are good. However there are a few bad apples out there you've got to watch out for. My dad who's been deceased for many years now told me when I was a kid to watch your back least somebody hits you in the head. It's good to pay attention to your surroundings so you can better protect yourself. I do hope the freak didn't try to follow you. Yeah someone who looks weird and acts weird is a good person to stay as far away as possible from and never come into contact with. Be extra cautious and take extra precautions when you are out by yourself. When it comes to your life don't take any chances. It pays to be as safe as possible. May God Jesus Christ, our Lord, always protect you from any evil. Even on the internet if a person wants to be my friend on one of these sites; I won't even be an internet friend until I learn allot more about the person. If the person has a screen-name that I deem as kind of strange and if the person doesn't have a clear picture of himself I just as soon not correspond. I trust no one easily.

i hate that "someone is staring at me" feeling. when i get that feeling i look around, and occasionally i will catch someone who had been staring, but then usually just look away. i havent ever had a stranger continue to stare at me in the rather threatening way you describe. i would surely be freaked out also!
i used to work with this one little lady, who was always nice and polite, but when i thought the conversation was done and was ready to say "ok talk to you later" she would continue to stare at me..with an expression that said she was waiting for me to say something else. i have no idea what else she ever expected, but it always made me feel like i was expected to confess or something, i dont know. definitely uncomfortable lol!

according to me that person might be drunk. coz after drinking a phase cone when u r very angry and thinks u can beat the whole world. but somewhere in mind u know that it could go opposite .so u dont mess with others.
dont worry just another drunkard case
