shak Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi everyone... I just want to know if anyone experiences what I do...well I'v noticed that alot of people in sydney have a really bad habit of staring,its mostly the women.I find it really uncomfortable!went to manly beach yesterday,had a woman in front staring non stop over her sun glasses,and did not look elsewhere when I noticed she were just staring.I mean how rude is that,I got the same last week with a couple of people.I get very tempted to ask if they have a problem,it cheeses me off!!I mean I go to the beach to relax and have people staring.I'v been to brisbane and Melbourne and never had this prob with people thr,in melbourme everyone seemed really friendly,all smiles,randoms coming up to my daughter to talk,etc,and in brisbane people seem to all mind their own business.I find it rude and uncomfortable being stared at! Has anyone else noticed anythong like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No, you're not being paranoid, I've noticed it a lot, but I'm in Perth. I've tried staring back sometimes but they still don't back down :laugh: I just keep thinking it's me being an uptight Brit as was always taught 'not to stare'. Just keep telling yourself you must have something special for them to want to look for so long :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akiralx Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 People in Sydney have always been judgmental, so maybe it's an extension of that. You will be often asked which suburb you live in as an opening question in social situations. They haven't yet graduated to asking for a full credit report as an icebreaker but that will come no doubt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie 2 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think it's quite amusing that a Victorian labels the people of Sydney as judgemental. I have lived in and around Sydney for many,many years and never experienced this, nor people staring. Maybe I'm just not observant. If someone did stare at me for a time I'd ask if they needed help with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 In Victoria it is 'which school did you go to?' haha. Especially private over state. The private schools are 'graded' too - minor, Catholic , expensive, cheaper etc etc. We are shocking snobs I tell you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
