I like to study humans... its interesting on how similar most of us are in so many ways. has anybody ever sat around and just looked at what people do? or do something just to see a reaction?

I can see people with different personalities every-time I watch them. There are goal-oriented persons who are determined and motivated to achieve their dreams in life. Some are type-A or perfectionists who want to make or do things perfectly. Others are happy-go lucky who simply want to enjoy life. People have different personalities. That's what makes us individually unique.

Ever look at your watch... and you don't know what time it is?

So true. I know some people find it hard to just sit and be still in the middle of a crowded place. But I find it as one of the most interesting, lucid, peaceful moments I have - just sitting quiet and anonymous in a sea of strange faces. I like to observe how people interact with each other. Sometimes I imagine dialog boxes coming out of their head to guess what they're saying. I don't do it much anymore, though. I used to do it a lot when I was younger.

next time you are bored, if you dare to do so. walk up to a random person on the street and almost scream: Pardon me, but I have nothing to say!!! and walk away

This is so true, I have studied people and we do have similar behaviours and reactions for some things. When I'm on the tube and I look around me people are either playing on their phone, reading papers or just quietly sitting and looking out of the window or doing something in order to avoid eye contact. When someone glances at me I will usually just turn my attention to something else and when I glance at others they will usually do the same.

People watching rocks! It is so interesting to sit in a cafe and watch humanity pass you by and trying to work out what they are thinking or feeling (I have spent many hours doing ths). Looking how confident that were and when people shop is also fab as it really gives you a hint about their personality. Often I will smile at a random stranger to see what reaction I get (a smile, nod, blank look or scowl).
