I love people watching. I guess that’s why I like looking at photos so much on Flickr. It’s so interesting to see peoples’ everyday lives in far away places… or even across town. :)
hah I love this site. Till now I really thought I was the only person that did this. Ive sat in barnes and nobel when I was supposed to be working on some school junk and just stared and observed how people act and what they do. Its really facinating to see how different people do every day things.
I just finished a great novel about people watching, called 253, by Geoff Ryman. I bought the paperback, but it was originally written for the web and is probably as good, although the site does look a tad dated...
A lot of days I go to the mall and just sit there pretending to be waiting for someone. It's so relaxing and interesting and sometimes hilarious to watch other people's habits.
I love going to the mall and doing that but i cant go alone b/c i need to comment out loud so usually me and one of my friends go and just get like a coffee or something and watch it really is a great form of entertainment
haha how amusing! I do that sometimes, like make up little stories for why there bying that certain pair of shoes or why they're fighting in public its pretty fun
Make sure it's a busy place AND time … doesn't work so well if there's only one other guy in the Tim Horton's. Then it's just creepy. On a similar note, has anyone noticed themselves being people-watched? I wonder what lives other people make up for me.
haha I dont think I've ever noticed other people 'people watching' me, but if they did I would love to know what they were thinking about or what story they come up with to fit me hahaha
I live in Nashville, TN., and like to go to the Opryland Hotel and look at all the tourists wearing cowboy clothes, trying to look like what they THINK a Nashville native looks like, or else they perhaps are trying to fool people into thinking that they are Country Music stars. Either way it DOESN"T work. Nobody in Nashville, including Country Music stars, wear -cowboy clothes UNLESS they are performing on stage, and then they don't put them on until they get in the dressing rooms. The only people you see on the streets in Western clothing in Nashville, are the tourists. They make total fools of themselves trying to look famous and important. It is hilarious!
Ha! I do that in airports a lot. It's like watching a movie. Sometimes during a lapse in conversation in a restaurant I listen to the background noise and it can be pretty funny.

If only I could get away with it.

yes, I do that too.
I like to stare at anybody (a singer in a concert or a policeman for example) just to see what he does then and how he gets nervous, it works ;)
i like to imagine how their lifes are.

even more when you have got a camera and you start talking alone
uuummm …... ok

I don't think I people watch to judge, I just can't help but watch behaviors.

Tim Horton's? I'm not familiar with that…

I try to imagine what people could be thinking about me, sometimes.
Sometimes I act like a different person, just to throw them off … 'cause I know they're watching …

Watching peoples body language is so under-rated.
