To start off if you have never gone “people watching” I suggest you do so. People are a phenomenon as it is, but watching certain things they do on a day to day basis can provide serious entertainment. This activity can make you laugh, cry, say “Um… ew”, or just wonder “What the F#@! are you doing……”. I am currently taking a psychology course and we are learning about the brain and why people do the things they do.
Taking all this into account my professor told me that he people watches all the time. So now I do it without even noticing. I must add it can be a very unique experience. If you don’t know how to, it’s very simple. You mind your own business, pick a spot, open your eyes, and observe. For example one day I was my father and I were driving somewhere in his car. Now I don’t know if you know anything about cars but my dad has a 1988 Monte Carlo Super Sport all fixed up and it’s a head turner. So we came to a stop sign and there was a gentleman walking on the sidewalk. He noticed the car and gave it a thumbs up as he was walking. With his attention directed to the car, he forgot to avoid the stop sign he was walking towards. He walked directly into the sign smacking his face off the red hexagon, and fell straight to the ground. But the funniest part was he got right up like nothing happened and gave two thumbs up this time. My dad and I just shook our heads and laughed.
Also something you see a lot in people watching is people farting. For example my friends and I were all in a room and one of the girls walked to the other side of the room randomly. I was the only one who noticed as she stood in the corner she sort of lifted one of her legs and make a strange face, then immediately after a sign of relief. As she proceeded back into the conversation, a smell lurked back with her, and then someone asked “Who farted?”. The girl was the first one to put fingers. I just laughed and took it all in.
