Re: What is creepy?

I really disagree. Creepy behavior is behavior that (a) is directed toward someone personally, (b) violates a boundary in some way, and (c) has an element of presumption and entitlement.

Say you enter a store in the mall from outside, and there's an ice storm in progress and the clerk says "Have they salted the walks yet? This morning I saw three people slip on the ice just getting from the bus to the door!" Not creepy, because the weather isn't a personal topic and the clerk has some legitimate interest in knowing how bad conditions are.

You enter a store in the mall and the clerk says "Wow, you should wear your hair down more often, you look much prettier that way!" Creepy, because it's personal, and it implies that the clerk is entitled to a say in how you wear your hair.

I actually think in some instances (e.g. the one people have discussed here, feeling uncomfortable because someone is writing in a notebook) it's creepy--i.e., presumptuous and entitled--to expect anyone to curtail an innocent behavior that's not directed at you.
