Five ways of dealing with 'Vulgar Metro Stares'

" This is like really annoying! He's getting on my nerves now.

- What happened? (stupefied)

- Haven't you seen that guy embarrassing me with his filthy stares? I feel so lost the days I travel alone.

- Babe. I'll tell you how to deal with them. (smirk)"

1.Keep looking straight into the person's eye until he thinks you're kind of possessed by an evil spirit.

2.Ask whether he has this neck problem or something provided the fact that he can't get his eyes off you.
"Excuse me is your neck fixated in a particular direction?If not then stop looking at me like this."

3.Scream loudly in the public (Yes,yes not in an uncivilized way) to gather enough audience.Sometimes just reacting is enough.You need not to explain the situation,line by line.After all who has time?

4.Stamp that person's foot while trying to shift or getting down and then say, "Oh sorry if I have hurt you.It stings equally when you give me such nasty stares and looks."

5.If you think you cannot pull this off,just ignore.Do not even look the second time.Thinking that you are completely stoic,emotionless or impassive (and in some cases,homosexual) that person will direct his favours to someone else.Free you are like an untouched bird in the sky.Wohoo!!!
