I do not like to be stared at.
Yes, I know that is my problem and I should not expect the rest of the world to conform to my issue. There, happy? Everytime you complain nowadays people want to tell you “maybe the issue is you and you should not expect the rest of society to adjust to your issues”. There I said it for you…can we continue?
However, there are some adults that will just look and look and look at you when you enter a room and it’s nonsense. There’s nothing new under the sun. I want to ask them, “Have you never seen a human being before?”
I am a dude. I imagine this is 1 million times worse for women.
Staring in public, waiting your turn in line, maintaining a normal talking volume in public. I think I learned all that in kindergarten or before. Some adults need to Billy Madison themselves and go back to kindergarten.
I feel like he made it clear in his post:
These people are just starting unprovoked. He doesn’t say that everyone does this, everywhere he goes. He says that some adults will stare at you.
And guess what? I’ve totally experienced this. Personally, I think part of it for me is living in a small-ish town, but still, it’s unprovoked behavior.
Even if you’re walking into lectures, it’s still not good form for people to stare, and the farting is something you’ve totally conjured out of thin air. None of these details were in OP’s post. We don’t need more details. When he uses the word “just,” that implies this is simple unprovoked behavior.
The idea that “further context is warranted” is absurd. The OP has already made clear in another comment that there is no further context.
No joke, it’s called an example.
So seeing as we’re all on the same page re: staring being inappropriate. How long do you consider to be too long to look at someone? I wonder if that’s the same as OP. Theres nothing wrong with asking for more context if it can help people understand, because as everyone is saying, this seems unusual behavior and not acceptable…
