This is creepy behavior.
I had a friend who was in Germany for a while. He said the only way to prevent folks from staring at him was to carry a pocket camera and point it in the "stare-ers" direction. Worked like a charm.

lol... and i KNOW!!! When you're staring at someone, and they turn and look you right in the eye, it's as if they're saying "i know you're staring at me and i don't like it". that's when you look away really quick, like you weren't staring. but there's some people that just keep staring... i hate that!!!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a pot smokers dares to condemn a tobacco smoker. I am not even in the smae playing feild as you...number one I can enjoy my habit outside without fear of arrest. I can drive in my vehicle with a pack of cigs and not fear jail if pulled over for a traffic violation. My habit does NOT inflict brain damage on myself thus making me stupid. It also doesn't aid memory loss. Don't even try to condemn a smoker when you Jer, have a far worse and Illegal habit.
Besides the studies on second hand smoke are still not completely determined. I have read articles stating second hand smoke is not worse than first hand.....Common sense would dictate this one would think But I am not going to go into it.

I wash my hands and face after almost every cigarette. Spray cologne and pop a breath mint or gum. My girlfriend can't standf the smell of smoke. My mom would get headaches from it when I used to live with my parents. I am very concientious of those around me and they might not wish to inadvertantly partake of my habit. But I am probably different than most.

You can be around someone that smokes pot and cigarettes without partaking yourself. My best friend smokes pot, I do not.
Uh what is the term again....oh yeah..............OWNED!

Hey Darth, I listened to Rush the other day. He was talking about using a "smoking jacket". It used to be popular and I guess they still are in some circles. I understand Rush likes his stoggies.
BTW I used to smoke cigarettes. "I can feel your pain." (dig the thumb)--->

Yes, I actually own a smoking jacket...used at home however.

I hate covenants. You know, the neighborhood rules that state:
1. All pickup trucks have to be indoors and hidden from view...even your fully loaded $40,000 one.
2. All dogs must be under 25 pounds. No dogs on chains (I agree with the "no chains" part.)
3. All bushes must be under 36 inches in height.
4. Outdoor grills are prohibited because they are unsightly.
5. All trees must be of a variety that does not grow to a large size....Crabapple, Bradford Pear, etc.
6. No boats allowed unless they are kept in the garage out of sight...next to the $40,000 truck that pulls it.
7. No motor homes or campers to take a vacation in....unless you can fit those in the garage too.
8. No pools.
9. No outdoor garden sheds to store tools or mowers in. Put them in your garage next to your boat and your truck.
10. No fencing allowed except for approved white vinyl fencing, 36 inches and under. Style must match everyone else's.
11. All additions or changes to your house must be approved by the neighborhood committee.
(No kidding, I live in a very snooty city that dictates *everything*, and these rules are all real. Most of these came from the neighborhood covenant where I used to live, with the exception of the grill, truck, and dog size rules. Those came from a development a few miles away.)
But there is no rule against a whole yard full of unsightly kids toys?? Please...how many swingsets, sandboxes, bikes, monkey bars, life-sized plastic cars, and trampolines does one kid need???? That is waaaaay more unsightly to me than a bush taller than 36 inches or a grill is!!

i agree, michelle, rules like that are only placed because the person who made them has the power to do so... they just love that they can dictate the way everyone's house looks in their city... and no trees taller than a crabapple? So you have no maple trees, or evergreens, or anything like that? That's so dumb!!!

the lady that lives across the street from my parents looooves to call the cops on everyone. She called the cops because my parent's neighbors had a camper (a really really nice RV), and 3 feet of it was in front of the house (in my city, any RVs, boats, and such have to be parked behind the front line of your house, or it's considered "unsightly"). The cops came and made them move the RV back, but it wouldn't go back anymore because of their fence, so they had to move the RV to someone else's house. The same lady also called the cops because the same neighbor's garage door was half open, and that could "harbor stray animals"...
Same lady called the cops on my parents several times for noise violations. Get this! The one time, we were having a party, and it was kinda noisy, but it was only like 6 in the evening... so she couldn't get us on noise violations. We had a fire going in the fire pit, and she called the fire department, telling them it was a bonfire (it's illegal to have any fire that isn't a campfire in my city... so basically you have to be cooking stuff on it... no burning garbage or yard waste or anything like that). Well, when the fire department got there, they were like "oh it's that stupid lady again"... i was like "dad, the fire department's here"... so he walked into the kitchen, got a skewer and a brat, and walked up to the fireman... "can i help you?" the fireman looked at the brat, looked at the firepit (which is all properly done... no more than 6' in diameter, etc.), and said "this is ridiculous, you guys have fun..." She's called the cops on us so many times, they just ignore her now...
