Your Guide To People Watching
Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable. It's time to do some people watching!! The art of people watching has been going on for centuries. This is a cheap form of entertainment that can be achieved at cafes, bars, or parks. Basically, you sit around and observe the actions of strangers. It's fun and doesn't cost any money! This is your guide to people watching.
Watch People Eat
This can either be really entertaining or really disgusting. People eat differently and there is no need to judge (sometimes). When you people watching occurs, so much can be learned about a person.
To be observed are:
The nibblers
The devourers
The swallowers
The shovelers
The finger lickers
2. Pick Your Location
This could be any of the following….
The Art Institute is always packed with people on the weekends. Mostly with tourists, so you don’t have to limit yourself with just the locals. Very entertaining!

People Watch At A Gallery
Plop yourself on a bench and watch people observe art. Sometimes they cross their arms, trip on their own two feet, waddle to the next painting, or become agitated at those around them.
People Watch At The Park
The park is the best place to people watch. This is one of the many places where you can watch without looking like a pervert or a psycho.
During your lunch break, head over to the park and be entertained.
This is a great park to people watch in! Find a nice watching place and let the fun begin! People are really interesting right beside the face fountain. Watch them as they splash around, fall down, and look ridiculous doing so!

People Watch At Work
Come on, the people that you spend your entire day around have to be interesting! Why do they get on your nerves? Whether we realize it or not, we people watch here ALL the time!
3. Things To Look Out For When People Watching
They May Strike A Pose
If someone catches you staring, they may just pose for you. If this happens, a smile and a nod will suffice.
Just Look The Other Way And Whistle
If you’re caught watching someone that may not like being watched, just start whistling. Sometimes it’s best to turn your head or start walking away.
Let’s not call the cops here.
1. Relax And Get Comfortable
It’s time to do some people watching! We don’t realize how interesting we are, until we watch our own kind.
- Grab a coffee
- Bring out the lawn chairs
- Wear some sunglasses (only if you feel uncomfortable)
- Have fun
People Are Strange. Just Accept It.
I don’t know why people do what they do. I have no answer for this. What I do know, is that they are strange and THAT is what makes people watching so much fun!
Watch People On The Train
This is one of my favorite places to people watch. You are forced to sit across or beside strangers. Most of the time you will never speak to them, only watch their interesting mannerisms and strange antics. Love it!
This is my favorite thrift store to people watch in. You never know what kind of character is going to walk in next! Sit down, pick a couch and let the fun begin!

People Watch At Thrift Stores
This is another hot spot for people watching. For some reason, all of the elderly people go to the Brown Elephant in Chicago to sit on the used sofas and chairs to read the used books lying around.
People Watch In The City
Any city can be interesting if you’re people watching. There is never a dull moment in the city. Street artists, crazy people, and dumb people alike are always entertaining!
Make the most of your Sunday afternoon with a latte, some homemade granola, and some people watching.

People Watch With A Friend
If you have a friend with you, then maybe you won’t feel so bad laughing at people alone. Friends bring out the inner dialogue you might have been wanting to share, but never could.
Guthrie’s is not your typical bar in Chicago. There is no TV and board games galore! Sit with your favorite pint, grab a board game, and sneak a peak a dorks like yourself having fun.

People Watch At The Bar
Watch people watch TV. I like to sit at the bar with my Stella and see how goofy people look when they get excited about a baseball team making a home run.
Funniest thing ever to watch is when they are calm, then they suddenly jump up, spill their drinks, and slap the guy’s back next door.
Don't Stare!
Staring is so rude! If this happens, you will look like the picture above. I know, it’s hard not to.
Resist The Urge To Point At Them
I am the worst at this. When I people watch, sometimes there is a moment to point.
For instance, if someone is injured or sick. Then help may be needed. However, pointing can be a bit awkward. Let’s keep the finger inside the hand please.

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out.
I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
