I hate staring strangers!

So I just walked into the dermatologist office. Long story there! They have a couch and some large cushy chairs. There was this middle aged man sitting on the couch just blatantly staring at me. I checked in and tried to sit down gracefully in the chair, which happened to be directly across from the staring man. Naturally, since I have zero balance, I kinda tripped and fell into the chair. The man grinned and was still staring, so I stared back and said “ Is there a PROBLEM?” He said “ not at all- I was just watching you get into that chair!”
I said “ I’m tired!” And ignored him and got on my phone. He still kept staring at me. Weirdo!

Why didn't you ask him if he minded not staring? 🤔

@SnailTeeth I was just about to, but they called him into the office.

@Mardrae Good for you, for being tolerant. Leering is considered harassment though, and asking him to stop because it makes you uncomfortable falls well within your rights. The trick is being transparent, which is almost a catch 22 in those awkward situations, but if they continue to do it, despite knowing it makes you uncomfortable, a little call to the non-emergency police line might change this guy's attitude. Gross pig probably does that to everyone.
