| Hall’s Rule of Social Order #299 |
People watching is completely and only acceptable when both the viewer and the viewee are in public spaces and real time. Any deviation from that is creepy.
Clarification: there are some gray areas, like being seated at a restaurant. Sure, it’s public, but the seated area is more exclusive/private than open spaces. This leaves wiggle room for observations, but staring should be avoided.
