Sometimes, especially if they look like they could possibly be a threat.
You never know anymore.

I watch people all the time. Situational awareness is key to survival and success. I like to play "who's packing heat?" With my friends. You can tell when someone is carrying if they don't have a high level of training.

I've taken my best portraits of people when they don't think anyone is watching. It's ironic that I do enjoy people watching, but don't like them.

Yes! Especially when they are having fun with each other. On the other hand, Walmart is always an adventure.

People watching is one of the most economical and interesting of my hobbies! With inflation starting to move, people watching may have to become my major thing to do. LOL

Of course, doesn't everyone?

I do like to talk to people more than watch them. Just watching people without talking to them seems a variety of voyeurism fetish; what are you doing with those oggly googly eyes?

Always!

I love to people-watch. I do it all the time at my Apartments. Some messed-up stuff goes on in real life and it's more interesting than TV.

Yes I do its better than a zoo sometimes

I posted about going to Wal-Mart and watching people last week. I like to.

Sometimes....I seat by the seawall and do...is funny but you can kind of guess their mood..

I'm with Paul. I prefer to sit with my back to the corner, in a position where i can see all entrances and exits. I'm constantly looking around, trying to keep tabs on any body moving generally towards me.

On a much lighter level, yeah, making fun of random people was one of my ex-wife and i's favorite things to do on our honeymoon in New Orleans. Grab a drink and a balcony seat and see what walks by.

I try not to go out very often with the intention of spying on someone. however it's impossible not to people watch when you see something bizarre or happy or sad.

Yes it can be interesting.

All the time

Yes, I people watch. It is a good idea for getting out of the house.

Yes indeed sometimes wonder the back stories to some

Only if it’s part of my job.

I adore people watching. There are so many ways to enjoy it. For example you can make up stories around them, like that old couple. He wanted to go Italian and she Chinese and they`re both sulking at the compromise. Conversely you can simply observe. This can be very rewarding as you get an insight to human behaviour. This is how fortune tellers and their ilk make a living. My friend would often ask me to predict how someone would act. I usually bet £1 on the outcome and rarely lost. For example a couple came into the bar and I said that she would buy the 1st drinks. I won and when he asked how I knew this would happen I told him that the guy was much better looking and that she was having to try hard to keep him. Once I even predicted what car a woman owned.

People watching is one of my favorite sports. Sometimes if I’m with someone who I know and who gets my sense of humor it’s fun to make up stories about people.

Being comfortable not speaking is a gift

I used to.

Yes. I like to say it's part of my job.

At put in bay in lake erie we people watch all the time but lately we are on hooker watch because the local paper said prostitution has increased on the island. So now its "oh there's one" or "is that one".

On occasions but I prefer to interact, or just take in scenery.
