If you know someone who creeps you out, what is it about them that creeps you out?

I know this woman who creeps me out, and some of my co-workers too.

Her general demeanor is disquieting.

But to be specific, one thing that creeps me out about her is you can see the white all around her eyes.

by that, I mean people who have no sense of personal space.

I don't mind it in people I am close to, but when strangers invade my space it usually bugs me at least a little. And I don't mean necessarily when it is on the bus/subway or in a crowded bar where you have to do that to talk, I mean the types who do it all the time.

I work with a creepy lady who will ask you a question then go on and on without giving you time to answer. I think my mental nickname for her is going to be FOX News from now on.

you know something about the person bugs you, but you can't put your finger on what it is.

I know he doesn't mean to... so I try not to be creeped out... and most of the creepy things he does I can just rationalize away.

All but this one thing: he makes noises. Whenever he comes by my desk he always has to make some kind of noise. It used to just be "balapalapalapa" all the time, but now it's other noises, too. Frickin weeeeird, man.

he does eat a LOT of sugar though. Bags of candy, every day (and he shares sometimes :D). I don't know how he's not diabetic already.

Very controlling and domineering. I can only stand her for approxmately 5 minutes a year.

My brother is either a saint or a patsy. Can't figure out which.

:-(

Sometimes I don't know, but even with those people, I'm ALWAYS right. You could call it a psychic thing, but whatever label you want to put on it, I do pick up on people's vibes, and some of those vibes are downright disquieting.

There was a guy I used to work with who really rubbed me the wrong way. He didn't bathe, and always seemed "out of it". The rest of my coworkers gushed about him--thought he was "so cool"--but I couldn't buy into that. And the guy turned out to be a real loser.

MG Jr. can pick up on people's vibes, too--when we were in California, visiting my brother and his family for my niece's graduation this past June, we stopped in to visit my SIL's family (her mother lives around the corner). My SIL's mother, sister, and sister's ex-husband were there, in the back yard. Jr., who was 3 at the time, immediately clung to my leg and whispered, "I want to leave RIGHT NOW."

I thought he was sick or had to go to the bathroom or something, so I took him into the house and asked him what was wrong. It took him a while, but he finally admitted, "I don't like that man." He didn't know why, but I didn't care. Let's just say he made a good call. I said that was just fine with me, and we walked back to my brother's house. On the way I told him that whenever he felt that way about someone to tell me and I would honor it.

There's this woman in this class I'm taking at CCSF* who creeps me out. I think it's because she seems really uptight, and has the glazed look of a religious fanatic even though she isn't one. Neither goes well with the pseudo-punk persona she sports.
