Anyone else like to "People Watch"?

I find it interesting to sit in a high traffic public place and just observe "people" in their natural habitat.

You can learn a whole lot about the human race by doing this.

Boyfriends and girlfriends arguing about trivial shit, kids fighting with eachother or even the greasers on the corner swapping cigarettes and talking about the Ramones.

I find all of it fascinating.

Last weekend I went to the "Industrial Strip" in Hammond, Indiana by myself to visit some of the hot new Strip Clubs. I wasn't there to pay for a silly lapdance... I just wanted to watch people and how they interacted with the girls.

Shit, if I wanted to get laid, I could have just gotten my cellphone out while I was there and had girls lined up when I got home.

I was in Houston today and there was a white woman walking down the street. She sees 5 black guys and walks over to them. It's was obvious she was a hooker. They walked away. An hour later I was on the plane drinking a Sprite.

No.

After my morning workouts I usually go to Jamba Juice and get a shake and sit on the bench outside to watch people for a good 25 minutes.
Your post that you deleted was better than this one.

Did it involve braving a freezing waterway to save a drowning puppy followed by high-fives and hugs?

Nah, that was last night.

This one involved something about Desperado being cool.... if he watched people.

I like to watch people too. I consider it freelance cultural anthropology. Some times when I need a break from my cube I will walk down to daley plaza and eat my homemade lunch of kale and carrots, alone. Then someone will catch my eye and I think to myself "I bet that person has a really interesting story. We all have interesting stories if you think about it." And I follow them. Not in a creepy way, just a friendly and curious way. I will follow them as far as my zone allows (will not cross the river, will not go south of harrison street).

Usually, they don't notice. Here and there, of course, you are bound to run into some insecure people who are probably over 30 and miserable. They notice me following them and alert the police. Then I run back to work, which is good exercise!

Only one citation so far because the cop was fast and unenlightened.

Why not do that at the gym? That's one of the best places outside of Walmart or a mall.

It is actually in my queue. I am a Nolan fanboi after interstellar (I liked memento back in the day but didn't give much of a **** about the batman movies, and inception was just okay). Movie had a lot of derp but the good moments were... well... transcendent!

Really depends upon your feelings concerning Memento, it has a similar style.

Guys this is more about viewing people IRL... not you toads watching movies in your parent's basements.

I actually wake up at 9-9:30AM and hit the gym.

Unlike you fat losers who wake up ay 8:00AM and go straight to work.

listen, assholebuddy, I will watch people when and how and where I feel like it. I also like to watch people watching movies. If you are going to be such a controlling turdtard about your thread, why don't you hang a "members only" sign on it?

How do you like THEM apples, *****? I would never watch you.
