To wonder why this woman was staring at us?

[imwithspud]

It was really odd. In sainsburys cafe at lunch time. Me, my dnan and my two dd's (3 & 6months). We were sitting at the table, 3 of us eating lunch, I fed dd2 at one point, then we sat chatting, minding our own business whilst we finished our drinks and dd1 are her snowman biscuit treat thing. Sometime during the meal a woman and her 2 dc's sits at the table next to us, didn't pay her much mind, until I noticed her staring, well more like glaring at us. At first I ignored it and assumed I had happened to catch her gaze. Carried on minding my own business. Then we were getting ready to leave and again I noticed her staring again, I'm pretty sure she even gave me there 'up and down' look, I was concerned that I might have spilt something down my top but I hadn't. She even stared at us as we were walking to the trolley bay and whilst we were getting our trolley.

I know it shouldn't but It's been bugging me all day wondering why she was so obviously glaring at us and what we could have done to have caused her to do that, we weren't being loud, dd1 was sitting nicely in her chair, dd1 was on my lap. I wish I had said something at the time but I'm really not a confrontational person and I felt quite intimidated by it actually. I also didn't want to cause a scene in front of the children.

Not really sure why I'm posting this, some people are just strange aren't they?

I like visiting countries where everyone stares. You can admire someone's scarf or blouse, without worrying that you are offending them.

Maybe she thought you looked interesting and her face is always like that. I think I sometimes put people's noses out of joint by glaring at them, and it's just because my face looks like that if I forget to smile. She may just be very inquisitive and a bit dopey about the social skills. I only recently realised I did this when I started skyping. I love skype because I can see my own face as well as the face of the people I am talking to. It means that I have constant reminders to smile instead of staring like hypnotised owl and improves the experience for the other participants a lot.
