The one that I don't get is doppelgangers that look like me. I get them looking like actors, famous people, usually ones that I admire. And I get the staring routine; someone who is prepared by staring at me when I suddenly look at them by turning around for example. The children who yell for no reason is another common occurence, one tonight even (12-08-2008).<BR/><BR/>You must be a real TI, and I am wondering who you are if you don't mind me asking.

Highly embarassing and unsettling.<BR/><BR/>People touching you/leaning on you on the bus or subway, seemingly unaware they're doing it, but its obviously rude?<BR/><BR/>A high-pitched, sucking sound caused by people drawing air thinly through their teeth. It creates a uniquely irritant insectile sound?<BR/><BR/>Baby prams blocking exits and entrances and taking up the sidewalk. Or alternatively, wheeled directly into your path as you walk?<BR/><BR/>Ever looked into the eyes of a perp? They look guilty, every time.<BR/><BR/>When two perps converge who seemingly didn't know each other but the second one starts chatting with the first one after you were initially annoyed by the first one?<BR/><BR/>They always seem to know where to find their next energy meal, don't they?<BR/><BR/>Two perps got me on the train home last week. A mother/daughter act with lots of xmas shopping packages. They crammed themselves into a small four seater with me even though (thank god, and bizzarely) they were only riding one stop.<BR/><BR/>I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep since they love to make eye contact and have you notice them. The daughter was really trying hard to make eye contact, before I closed my eyes.<BR/><BR/>(Children are wonderfully co-opted by this force sometimes, even infants who shrilly scream for no apparent reason on public transportation!)<BR/><BR/>While my eyes were closed, the mother made that irritant, insectile sound with her teeth, the sound I've come to recognize as "them" because every time someone makes that sound, it turns out to be a perp.<BR/><BR/>Of course I opened my eyes in amazement and looked at her because up until that point I had been determined to ignore them, but she managed to make me open my eyes! Satanically clever, wouldn't you say?<BR/><BR/>Sure enough, I kid you not, she was LOOKING at me when I opened my eyes! I actually caught one (for once) IN the ACT of deliberately trying to annoy. She looked away guiltily too! It never fails to amaze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
