What behaviour do you find creepy?

People who get your number and think it's okay to just start texting randomly.

People you don't know well who want to do video phone calls.

Parasocial relationships with celebrities

Stealing women’s luggage from baggage carousels and wearing their clothes.

Posting photos of unpopular users on DL. I FF it every time.

Monitoring citizens through cell phones, computers, tablets, televisions, cameras, drones, etc.

Pretty much nothing, OP!

People who sit on their porch silently and stare at all of the passersby. People-watching in general.

It's fuckin' weird.

DLers who use the block function to trace their “enemies’” posts.

When friends give a goodbye or hello kiss directly on the lips. Get away, creeper.

Religious fundamentalism (includes New Atheism)

When you are driving in your car and people walking by stare at you

R11 Do they stare at you in shock and horror, as if you are going to swerve on to the sidewalk?

I don’t know if this is creepy or unnerving or just rude but acquaintances who send long texts at inappropriate times - like 6:30AM on a Saturday or 10:30PM on a weeknight.

R12 No.

People who never smile, even when being introduced. People who won't look at you and have no affect when you talk to them. I always imagine they're the sort who leave their young kids in the car for 12 hours while they gamble the night away. Or worse, in the trunk.

Stealing women's luggage from the baggage carousel.

Starers are creepy in any situation. Staring is never right, staring is always wrong

R15 Some people are depressed or just hate life and humans. They are not here to entertain you and smile at you so you will feel better.

R8 How is that done?

R19

R18 You sound like an asshole of gigantic diameter. If you're so depressed you can't move your fucking face get on some meds. It's not entertainment to acknowledge the person standing in front of you, it's basic human behavior. Now go let your kids out of the trunk, you creep.

R21 So people should be drugged out of their minds so they can politely smile at your annoying face? And funny how you think there are pills that can make people be happy with their shot lives. What are these magic meds called?

People who identify as stans of celebs (versus just being a fan) and/or defend certain celebs at every turn. I read something recently on facebook by an activist type who wrote a three paragraph thing on why people need to leave Beyonce alone and "stop coming for her"...and then mentioned that they were not part of the Beyhive. Looks like a little self-reflection is in order there. One of my close friends is (still) a huge Madge fan and he will get furious if you suggest she retire or that she's not smart or that a 60+ year old woman singing about sex and being naked at every turn isn't appropriate.

OP= Joel

Any nutcase fan who finds the friendship between Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp wholesome. Those two freaks "joked" about raping a teenage fan their "fuck house".

The endless array of sick perverted DLers who openly fetishize murderers.  Looking at you.

People who engage in pup play.

People who whistle.

R22 They're called anti-depressants you moron and it sounds like you should try them and give people a break who have to look at your scowling face.

Don't bother letting me know how it goes, the stakes in this exchange are far too low.

People on either end who are obsessed with Meghan Markle. I don't care about her experience at Buckingham Palace and I care even less about hating her.

R22 Yes, cause antidepressants are magical pills. They make depressed people shit rainbows and butterflies. Since the antidepressants were introduced, no human being committed suicide.

Anyone with sexual hangups. Poles and holes were meant to penetrate and be penetrated.

Eyescrewing me as I walk by

R13, At least it’s not a phone call.

Wiping back to front.

When cultists keep "blessing" me.

Paranoid cuckoos like OP and R7.

Also R15 who demands smiles. Seriously, the creep is you, hon.

Neighbors who sit in a dark living room looking out all day at the neighborhood - watching. Always watching. They are sitting there in the morning as you begin the day and still there long into the night. Never moving, eating, drinking, on the phone. Smoking and watching.

R38. Not demanding anything you cunt, seriously.

I said people who NEVER SMILE are creepy. But I can see why someone who trolls on your level has nothing to smile about, smoking and watching the 'neighbor' you posted about in R39.

Ditto R30.

There's not just one Klan Granny troll. It's a consortium.

The paparazzi stalking C-Listers.

Taking photos or video of random strangers to post online

'Christine', the female cyclist coming second.

People invading my personal space creeps me out - standing too close in a check out line or while looking through clothing racks/supermarket shelves.

Menstruating men

Anyone who identifies as a Republican 😬

Bending over to put your face near my cock while pretending to reach for something on a store shelf

Anyone (except family) who turns up at my front door unannounced/uninvited. The height of rudeness.

This~

As I understand it, people who addressed their server by name at restaurants although the server has provided it voluntarily, are probably narcissists.

[quote]Starers are creepy in any situation. Staring is never right, staring is always wrong

You might do well to avoid Spain, R17, where staring is quite normal.

Drag queens.

Why don’t they want go and visit old people’s homes and read picture-books to them?

Addiction to conspiracy theories.

Hookups who think you are engaged after meeting one time. He's blowing up your phone before you have even had time to drive home. That's why I don't let randos know where I live.

That guy Lars Thorwald across the courtyard.

Lars Thorwald had guilt written all over his face.

Walking silently and directly behind someone is a predatory behavior so why do people think that this is OK?

People on the street.

I think the caption to R43 is wrong.

The two men on the right should be reversed.

R59 Walking silently and directly behind someone is normal for people who walk briskly and are showed down by mindless dawdlers.

Nope. I don't dawdle. I walk at a moderate pace, 10, 000 steps or more per day.

But I don't abuse prescription medication or smoke crack cocaine or meth.

Your aberrant behavior is caused by your substance abuse disorder.

r54, did you know that in the UK parents actually pay to have drag performers entertain their children? At CHRISTMAS?

Randoms who knock on my condo door to announce I have a package sitting there.

No, I didn't R64.

Why don't they pay to have "drag performers" play out their exhibitionistic behaviour to the vulnerable at old people’s homes?

Your hatred is showing R65.

R66 I ignore any "drag performers" at gay venues.

And I don't like my tax-money being spent on self-conscious, self-avowed, practising professional freaks.

You have serious issues R67. You sound very homophobic and consumed by hatred.

R50 all of my friends have my cell number and I have told them to text me while they are still in their car before they get out and knock on my door.

If there is a knock on my door I look at my phone and if I don’t see a text then I do not get up and look through the peephole in the door.

Whoever it is can stand out there and knock until their knuckles bleed

Middle aged gay men starting threads about Shawn Mendes with his top off.

Subhuman contards posting on DL as if they actually expect to change anyone’s mind.

They are the creepiest

R50, Including family, for me.

[quote] Subhuman contards

Schumann contard.

Any sane, rational person wouldn't notice the weird couple in their dark living, smoking cigarettes and staring at them through the window. I think the person that posted about that should be avoided at all costs or you may wake up in their basement, locked to an autopsy-type table. Talk about giving the creeps.

People who are controlling.

People who text when they're bored.

People who take astrology seriously

The op introduced a discussion about creepy behavior, not pet peeves.

R78 = pedant.

I’m experiencing a neighbor who now appears every single time I exit either the front or back door, they are always struggling with something and act overly emotional to the doors opening, it’s really fucking odd.

Surprise anal when I'm not prelubed.

The literal creepiest is a morbidly obese, ugly, middle aged incel stalking barely legal (some not yet legal) boys on social media, then perving on sharing its “trophies” here. DL Pariah Brooklyn Seacow is a deplorable sex pest and it is very creepy.

Sexual interest in incest. Sucking a stranger's mucus out of his dick. The word panties.

Everyday callousness is creepy to me. I realize we all operate on self-interest. But I'd say that maybe 20% of the people you encounter in a day have a callous presentation to the world.

R79= limprick

Panhandling, with or without signs.

Agree about the panhandlers - the ones who seem to be part of an organized business of panhandling. They all have similar signs and use similar strategies to garner sympathy and donations. They stand in medians holding cardboard signs. When lights turn red, they walk closely up to driver side windows trying to make eye contact. They’ve recently started waving at cars hoping to receive positive attention or to seem more approachbale/safe.

Anyone know anything about these groups?

R53 Lol, yes - the Germans are starers too.

[quote]They stand in medians holding cardboard signs. When lights turn red, they walk closely up to driver side windows trying to make eye contact. They’ve recently started waving at cars hoping to receive positive attention or to seem more approachbale/safe.

Local convenience store owner who had been giving a panhandler free fountain drinks daily for well over a year followed the panhandler at the end of the day. He got on a bus which conveniently stopped at the corner on which he panhandled. Bus went to huge Mall just a couple miles down the road. There panhandler got into his Honda and drove to his average apartment complex just a mile down the road from the Mall.

They are all scammers including the ones claiming to be "Vets" with dogs.

On the flipside of "not smiling" is the perpetual gummy smilers who bare all their teeth all the time.

They look insane and creepy to me.

Without fail, anyone I have met who approaches with and continually maintains this exaggerated smile rather than just a pleasant facial expression turns out to be immediately and inappropriately overly familiar, intrusive and pushy.

Why is it okay to be freaked out or scared of clowns, but it's discrimination if it's towards drag queens?

-Anyone who is a stan or simp for a celebrity, billionaire, influencer or politician. You’re nothing more than a lemming and probably susceptible to cults or Pied Pipers. Bothering celebrities in public is pathetic in general. It gives off creep vibes.

-Agree that the plastered in smiles are cringe especially when you see a gaggle of cloned gay men doing it. It looks physically exhausting for one thing. I have the Eastern European view that hugely smiling at strangers in public means you’re an idiot or nutter and best to be avoided.

Any man, regardless of age, with teddy bears on display. Keep that childhood toy in a box, not on your bedside locker beside the poppers and lube.

How is "panties" creepy?

R80. This is disturbing. What could be the problem?

[quote]Local convenience store owner who had been giving a panhandler free fountain drinks daily for well over a year followed the panhandler at the end of the day.

Stories like this stink like shit. I don't picture a convenience store owner doing a stake out on a panhandler he'd been giving free drinks to for over a year (because I don't believe it), I picture Ronald Reagan with his Welfare Queen meme from 1976 and 1980.

Nah I don't buy the panhandler story either.

Apparently R37 is one of those creeps that stares at everyone.

I have a neighbor whose vocal fry is so exaggerated I often think “is this bitch for real?” when she’s talking.

She hangs out all day every day at the neighborhood elementary school, supposedly as a PTA person. But she scares off new parents.

She posed in the elementary school yearbook with her back to the camera— showcasing her Kardashian style ass— and grinning over her shoulder.

There’s something so bizarre and arrested yet also inappropriately sexual about her. I think she truly believes she is a student at the elementary school.

I expect to see her on the news any day for molesting some kid.

[quote]Posting photos of unpopular users on DL. I FF it every time.

Yes, it's an outrage!

Our trailer park is like Paparazzi central, and it is making Greg very unhappy!

The story about the convenience store owner, is just a story.

Operators work long hours managing a store, most have multiple kids they put through school. They don't have time to stakeout a bum they give leftover food to determine if the bum "deserves' their castoffs.

R99 How old is she? How do you know she spends all day hanging out at the school? Does she have kids of her own, a boyfriend?

R99 How did you happen to see her picture in the elementary school yearbook? There has to be more to this story that you're telling us.

I meant: than you're telling us.

My kid goes to the school.

R195 Okay, that was the part you left out.

These are specific to sex:

-a sexual partner who smiles down at you during penetration

- age play (wanting you to pretend to be underage)

- race play

- piss play

- the whole hypnosis phenomenon that seems to have originated online

- guys who buy used panties

- guys who want to be humiliated. Idk if it's creepy, but I find it disconcerting.

R50: Anyone (except family) who turns up at my front door unannounced/uninvited. The height of rudeness.

I agree and I refuse to answer the door for them. This is a major pet peeve of mine. ( Except I also include family)

[quote] -a sexual partner who smiles down at you during penetration

Because you're used to them closing their eyes in disgust.

Glaring at someone on the elevator. I always look at them back until they turn away. They always do.

Have to agree with R109. Totally lost me with that first line. Sort of felt bad for R107 after reading that. I love a hot cocky top who knows he's tearing my ass up and is proud of it.

R89 never happened. "Panhandlers" are homeless people. No one who lives in an apartment complex is spending their days panhandling on a median. Convenience store owners aren't Sherlock Holmes and poor people aren't some grand conspiracy--they're the result of massive wealth inequality. Any normal working or middle class person should know this. It's not like becoming homeless is some unimaginable circumstance beyond comprehension.

I'm so tired of the made-up bullshit that's casually posted here as truth, and the passive morons who accept it at face value no matter how outrageous the premise. There's always a conservative political angle, too --blame the homeless, they're all scammers. Sure, Jan. Wake the fuck up.

Poor R107. Eye contact during sex, particularly during penetration, is extremely fucking hot, not "creepy."

[quote]Surprise anal when I'm not prelubed.

Oh, please, bitch. When are you not prelubed?

[quote]Agree that the plastered in smiles are cringe

[quote]means you’re an idiot

I love irony.

People who have to constantly take selfies

People who spell behavior, "behaviour".

People who think American English is the only way to spell

People who don't put periods inside quotation marks

People who use sentence fragments without punctuation while complaining about punctuation... are "creepy."

People who use too many punctuation marks.

He said, “Can you believe that?”.

Settling in for the grammar catfight unfolding before us.

Social media.

When Facebook was still fairly new, a friend tried to convince to get one by showing me how easy was to search someone we barely knew and end up checking his vacations pictures and holiday, some with his recently dead brother. I thought like I was checking someone else meds cabinets, I told her we shouldn't be looking that and she laughed at me because, of course, he made those pictures open to the public.

I still don't know why people want to share so much and still feel like I'm snooping around.

I get easily creeped out.

I post a profound post on Datalounge and then quickly add an additional post-scriptum afterthought.

I place that post-scriptum afterthought in brackets. But should I add a full stop to that afterthought within the brackets, or without the brackets, or not at all?

If what is written within the brackets is a complete sentence and stands on its own, the period goes inside the brackets. If it’s a parenthetical within a sentence, it goes on the outside.

For example:

I had to go to the store the other day for milk (and I despise going to the store).

I had to go to the store the other day for milk. (They, of course were out.)

Shut-ins who create and post to negative listicles on social media.

You gotta be careful with those listicles. If you look up, one of them can fall off the eaves and stab you in the eye.

Thank you indeed, R124.

(but I sometimes fear I'm over-punctuating)

You’re under-punctuating above. Where’s the period?

This is creepy

Plastic nipples.

R130 Stunning and brave!

Ladies that post photos of their kids being in pain or in the ER with an injury on their social media. It's obviously for attention, for the mom's sake. If they needed to inform or update people there's DM or group chat and if they wanted the "Prayer Warriors" to come-a-calling, an ask is more than sufficient and pics of their battered/sewen up/suffering child is gratuitous.

Stalking celebrities movements.

Invading another person's personal space.

Forcing others to listen to or entertain conspiracy theories as real / things that actually happened, instead of them just being flights of fancy meant to inflame low IQ people and / or bored folks who need hobbies.

Casual, detached rudeness is creepy to me. Like not saying please or thank you.

Someone presents hole with dingle-berry’s present

[quote] dingle-berry’s present

A dingleberry is present? Or is it a present? You can't even spell dingleberry without an unneeded hyphen, so you're the dingleberry. That's my present to you.

I think I’d blow r135.

I likes him.

Misusing hyphens isn't as heinous as misusing words.

Inserting unneeded apostrophes should be a felon.

a felony! (Oh, dear-ing myself.)

Emily Blunt's moment with creepy Tom Cruise:

"During an appearance on the podcast Smartless, the British actress, 39, recalled being told by the iconic action star to "stop being such a p****."

parent? print? pickle? Hmmm...

People who won't look at the person with whom they are speaking.

Ruined people. Make your business with them brief and not to be repeated. (I will give children the benefit of the doubt, however.)

R119 Sentence fragments don't require punctuation.

People who have to constantly touch you while talking to you seem creepy to me.

[quote] People who won't look at the person with whom they are speaking

I saw a doco about that drunkard named Peter O'Toole.

He was spiteful towards his female co-star in one of his movies from the 60s. He refused to look at her and the editor had to splice their scenes together.

Fortunately, I clicked on the R130 link and just had to laugh at how deranged that all is and hysterical at the same time. Men pasting on plastic nipples and breastfeeding.

Art my ass! GFC

Most things that Elon Musk does lately.

I have a neighbor who is always hanging right by my house every morning while I leave my house.

There have been other, very uncomfortable incidents, for example: he had shown up at places that are no where near my home, twice. He stares at me in a really inappropriate way. The guy creeps me the fuck out, & I feel really skeeved out every time I see him looking up at my house as he walks by, and even more so when I’ve seen him miles and miles away from where I live, coincidentally.

I’m beginning to get concerned about this person, and yet, I know there’s nothing I can do about it, legally.

People who get mad at my jokes. They complain about where I put periods, and don't use any themselves.

CREEPY.

Get your lazy fat ass out of the way R62 you ugly whore

Your mother is a fat, lazy, ugly, diseased whore who did not take care of IT when she had a chance.

R149

Threads like these are why I can't quit the DL

Fuck you crack heads.

The subject is about creepy behaviors.

Its not about twitchy, LITTLE diseased whores with substance abuse problems and no personal boundaries.

Go briskly walk off a bridge.

Hey!

Visitors who look in your bathroom cabinet or bedroom drawers.

DLs who rhapsodically eroticize murderers.

R95 I’m still trying to figure it out, it’s almost like a David Lynch film level of oddness, as if they want to see what I’m doing(?), or worried someone is doing something to their property. They are bug eyed at the sound of the door opening, I actually asked if everything was ok, and they politely, yet disturbingly smile and fumble back in, it’s really becoming annoying. I just want to leave the house without this manic floor show every time.

R157, I used to have neighbors who were ALWAYS home. Married couple with three(!) kids. We had tiny, tiny yards.

Whenever I went out my front door… they were congregating in their front yard.

If I went to do something in the backyard… they were all congregating in their backyard.,

Sometimes I’d hear them in the backyard, and think, “Now’s my chance to take the trash bins to the curb without a long conversation!”

So I’d rush to the front of the house to take out the bins to the front curb. And there they were, congregating in their front yard.

I finally decided they had figured out to be both places at once.

[quote] People who get your number and think it's okay to just start texting randomly.

Yikes.

R158, oh my, sounds close to my insane situation!

R157 here

R158 Do they ever leave the house for work or groceries?

Supporting Russia
