It happened to me and I must pull a very particular face because they usually run after a while holding gazes (is this the correct expression? you know, staring at each other in the eyes).
Interestingly enough, it didn’t happen to me in Europe. Or I didn’t notice at least.

I’m not sure. I think it’s ‘holding stares’ perhaps? And I wonder why it didn’t happen in Europe? That’s very interesting!

when will people learn that staring is rude (and breeds a most unpalatable dish of paranoia)!

I completely agree. It can be quite confronting when this happens to me, and I never know what to do! 😛

Dear Tony,
In this case I would have calmly eaten my sandwich while maintaining eye contact the whole time. Of course, I’m female and less likely to get punched or stabbed for my insolence. Well, at least here in the States.
All My Love,
Jennifer

If only I could get away with such behaviour. 😛

It helps if you act like you’re slighty unbalanced. 😉
I bet if you started staring and doing the lick and sniff bit they’d leave.

Ah, there you have it. Mix and match the behaviours. Now why didn’t I think of that? 😛

Hilarious! I think most of us can relate to this kind of encounter. Ernest scuttling away in the last frame is superb!

Aw, poor Ernest. Just trying to be friendly, and some unfriendly bully comes along. Bad timing.

Yup. I’m wondering if he should’ve just ignored the guy and kept on eating. Why reward belligerent behaviour, right?

OMG, Tony. This is hilarous!! 🙂 Love it. I can “feel” the mortification in the last frame. I understand it too, because this has happened to me. Thanks for my Monday morning smile.

I’m glad that last panel came across so strongly, Davina. I really did agonise over that for days. It wasn’t easy to get just right. 😛

oh now I’ve never said ‘Hello’ to the person staring, I just tend to die inside. Maybe a cockroach is better then death?

I think so, Carrie. At least you’re able to crawl away to potentially greener pastures then. A bit hard to do when one is pushing up daisies methinks! 🙂

Haha, one of my friends would love this, she’s obsessed with the idea that everyone is always staring at her, but I keep telling her they aren’t and it’s in her head. She doesn’t believe me.

Maybe she should audition for Big Brother. Then everyone really will be staring at her? 😛
