Staring is illegal?
It's super uncomfortable. I nowadays feel like a movie star but without any of the positives that go with it and only the negatives. Well mostly, sometimes someone smiles nicely which is nice.
I absolutely get that, but I just didn't think it was illegal or worth calling the cops for, which the person I replied to said should happen. But maybe I'm being naive.
it isn't but you can't know if it will possibly get illegal in a very short amount of time. Who can possibly know what these people think of or are up to. Sometimes you get the impression it's nothing good as you squeeze your pepper spray with sweaty hands keeping your composure outwardly immaculate
I will drift off into a 1000 yard stare, sometimes from my deployments, other times wondering where the hell my life went, other times trying to figure out why my kids want to watch the same episode of Bluey for the 416th time.
Really hoping I never did it in the direction of someone and made them feel this way. Makes me want to go out in public even less, I hate bothering people.
You're not being naive, the comment was joking about the meme incorrectly using "starring" (the gerund of "to star" as in "Cillian Murphy is starring in this movie") when the meme creator clearly meant to use "staring", the gerund of "to stare".
