I'm a people watcher. I find it amusing to see the impractical shoes people where to the airport or amusement park. Nothing like trying to lug about 100lbs of luggage around wearing a pair of high heels or run through a large airport to catch your connection the same silly shoes. It is also interesting to notice how oblivious people can be to being watched. Sometimes I feel like Jane Goodall, observing my fellow humans in their natural environments and they seem to not even notice me. It's good cheap entertainment. You can see underwear adjustments, nose picking, trips, spills, creative clothing selections, and so on.
Sometimes, the entertainment can become info-tainment and you learn something. Like, the other day standing in line at the grocery store. Myself and several other people watchers had shocked and upset facial expressions as we heard a father berate his young child. She may have been 7, but the tone in his voice and the things he said, were just downright ugly, mean and wrong to say to anyone at any age. So, I looked at my cheeky 3 yr old driving us nuts today and made a mental note to self, to not do that to her, anywhere at anytime. Even if she was (she really was) laying on the floor of the store, rubbing her belly saying she was tired and wanting to go home. We refrained from berating her, realizing she was not in anyone's way at the moment and not screaming. We'd give her a bath when once we were home and honestly, it was downright silly and amusing. It was hard not to laugh. I am guessing at least one other fellow people watcher was enjoying her antics too.
Anywho, people watching is fun and sometimes educational. Don't you agree?
