Are you a people watcher?

I find myself watching other people more than I ever did before. And much to my surprise I am enjoying it. I notice what strange things people will do when they don't know anyone is watching. I have seen women hold their glasses in front of their eyes when trying to read something then quickly stuff them back into their purse when they think someone may see them. I watched a man turn to the last pages of a new book then look around to see if anyone was watching him before he read it. I watched a man clean his false teeth with a napkin. I watched a woman bend over and her wig fell off, she quickly snatched it up and put it back on, a little crooked. Not one of these things are a crime but all of them must have felt some guilt because all looked to see if anyone else may have seen what they did. Do you like to watch people? Isn't it amazing some of the things they do when they think no one will see them doing it?

Generally, I have always been one to keep to myself. I don't like to be caught staring. My husband stares at women and girls all the times. And I mean STARES. Sometimes I remind him not to be rude. I once dated a guy who would go to the store and just sit in the car in the lot and watch people go by, men, women, boys and girls. Sometimes he would make comments about what they must be like or what they might be thinking. He was good at being subtle so as not to get caught staring. I do watch people a little bit now, but mostly if I am not preoccupied about something else. I admit that I check out the guys and I also like to check out the girls my husband is looking at.

Every human being got their own weakness, but they feel bad when they are caught red handed. In such circumstances, the watcher must not give a hugly look.
