My dad looks an awful lot like Jonathan Banks . . . and this happens to him, too. Just sign the autograph if they ask. You'll make their day.

buddy was the spitting image of Rod Stewart. and it was the 1980's.
literally - women would chase him down the street, thru the airport etc, etc.
he counted 'em (the "encounters") - i'm not gonna bother with the number - no one would believe it, anyways.

one reason i dont like going to resturants. Sometimes your eyes just go someplace alot and you dont even realise it. After a while you realise you were staring at the guy alot and now he is looking at you suspiciously.

Even worse.....
A guy was staring at me in a restaurant and got up and came over and said "hey Rob how are you man? How's JoAnne? Still living in _____? I answered his questions but,
I had no freakin idea who this guy was and didn't ask him who he was!
He said great seeing you brother, take care!

Send him a round of shots. Maybe a blowjob or a motorboat?

How's you know he was looking at you unless you were looking at him?

He’s better looking than me now!

This happens to me quite a bit. I was the manager in a photo shop in our small town so many of the locals came in. When this happens and my wife is around, she knows I can't remember peoples names, so we have a fix. She right away says, Hi, I'm Rosalie, Juan's wife, and you are? Works great! Saves me many embarrassing moments.

Maybe the guy looking at you found you attractive? You could have switched seats with your partner if you found yourself uncomfortable? Or just don't look at him.

I too worked at a professional photolab for 25+ years. Lots of people knew me, but my brain just does not remember someone that does not stand out for a reason. If I had no idea who they were, just stand up, act happy to see them, shake their hand vigorously, and my response was usually "Hey, easy money, how are you?" No one was ever mad to be called easy money, and I was not embarrassed to admit I had no clue as to their name.

There was one guy that I kept seeing in town at various businesses, and we would exchange glances, and even nod. After the 5th encounter, I went over and asked him if I was stalking him or if he was stalking me. He laughed, introduced himself and now when we see each other I call him by name, as his name is Jack. I think it is somehow funny to yell "Hijack" in a crowd and long as we are not at the airport.

My guess is that this guy went home and got on his favorite forum to post "I was at a restaurant tonight, and every time I looked up some creepy dude at the next table was staring at me."

He probably looked at you more and more to catch you looking at him. Stop being so creepy and staring at random people!

What was behind you? Maybe he was looking at the clock or something behind you.

Was in A Basin, just finished a day of skiing.

Doing the apre ski thing in the parking lot and two young guys keep staring at me and whispering.

Climb into van to change, hop out with a beer in hand smoking a big fat cigar.

One guy starts nudging the other guy "see, see, I told you, he's smoking a cigar and chugging beer, dude, that's Gene Simmons!"

Gene don't drink or smoke and he's like 2 feet taller than me.

Personally I was a bit insulted.

Could be creepy.

I recall having early dinner with my wife and back then young kids (7 and 8). An old gentleman in his late 70's on table across the room kept looking at us making me very uncomfortable.

As he is leaving he approaches the table and said something like "congratulations, you have very polite well mannered kids. May all of you be showered with blessings".

I thought wow I was thinking of getting up and confronting him. We saw him and his (I assume wife) jump into a 911 Turbo Cabrio. We finished our meal, had a nice after dinner drink.

When I asked for the check, the gentleman had paid for our bill. He left a note which we have somewhere at home that said that it reminded them of years gone by when they would go to dinner with their now adult kids.

There are a lot of honest to God nice people out there.
