Staring into Eyes

Do you ever wonder where to look when you're chatting to someone? Clearly you should be focusing on their eyes. It's normal to habitually choose either the left or the right eye, but either way,  your conversation partner will feel at ease - they won't even notice which eye you're looking at. But let your gaze stray too far away and it can get awkward. Don't glance at their ears or head or body while they're engaged with you. Maintain your eye discipline at all times, and stay classy. Don't get transfixed by spittle emerging from their mouth, or a weird mole on the side of their head.

I bring this up is because people have at times made me uncomfortable by randomly staring at the top of my head (is there a sprinkle of dandruff up there, or a bird splatter?), or an ear (is there a freaky oversized hair sprouting?). That's why I hope that my writings today will educate others.

Before I go, let me warn you of the unblinking unending death-stare. Should you be transfixed by the piercing eyes of someone who won't release their gaze, close your eyes immediately or fake a faint. At all costs avoid being hypnotised. If you don't escape, your next memory will be waking up groggily in the back of a van with hands and legs bound, trundling along a dusty track in the bleak back-blocks of Canning Vale, towards a dark destiny. Not the ideal situation when you should be home watching soap operas.
