Re: What is creepy?

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. There are probably people who feel uncomfortable in the presence of someone with tattoos or piercings: is it reasonable to ask someone to cover up their tattoos or remove their body jewelry because it makes you uncomfortable?

If you google "gang stalking," you'll find that a surprising number of people believe in all seriousness that they've been targeted for continuous surveillance by the government, and that they're surrounded by whole gangs of stalkers who signal each other with apparently innocent gestures like buttoning one's coat, blowing one's nose, or retying one's shoes. I'd imagine that people who regard themselves as "targeted individuals" are made very uncomfortable by such gestures, but does that mean they're entitled to ask a stranger to curtail them? (This came to mind this week because I have a cold and the state of my nose is either stuffed up or runny, so I've been blowing my nose a lot.)

What it comes down to is, first, is the activity directed at you, and second, does it involve someone disregarding your boundaries and feeling entitled to do so? Telling your coworker "You should wear your hair down more often, you look prettier that way"? Creepy. Insistently offering unwanted help with groceries, or repeatedly trying to strike up a conversation with someone who replies with "um"? Creepy. And tbh, I'd argue that by those criteria, asking someone to curtail an innocent activity because you perceive it as directed at you is also creepy.
