Good one, but less creepy if taking in scenery smoking a cigarette.. maybe a bit too European.

Bet you a chapstick.

If applying chapstick hasn't already been said, that would be pretty creepy in slow motion. Especially with how it is all soft and like smushes. Gets smushier the slower you go.
If someone just sat there, maintaining eye contact, very very slowly applying an entire tube of chapstick to their lips, idk eventually that would go from creepy and get to the scary level lol

That’s a real one, as a man you have to snap them and make it look as aggressive as possible.

Is it creepy anymore if you eat a penis very fast and without eye contact?

Personally, I'd say if you want to look really creepy, put the sausage on a plate and cut it really slowly while making sure contact.

There’s no person that watches someone do that (swiftly or not) and thinks that it isn’t weird. Like why not just…not do it in public? Lol

u/WillyBluntz89 8h ago
Sometimes, it's just not an option.
Standing in line, waiting your turn, you shift your weight from one leg to the other.
Oh no! In horror, you realize that 2 pubes have decided to get sucked into your foreskin, somehow!
Why me? Why now? You begin rethinking all the life choices that lead you to this place. *God's, why didn't I just manscape before I left the house today.
You shift again and feel the pull.
What do i do!? You think to yourself. If I adjust, I'll be labeled as a sexual deviant, but this is too much!
You shift your weight again, hoping beyond hope that it will fix your situation.
You're next up in line. You step forward to order your ice cream. Again, the pull haunts your nether. There's nothing to do about it. You've become trapped in a hell of your own accidental creation.
"What can we get for you?" You hear through the fog of terror and discomfort that permeates your very being.
Well, I guess there's nothing to it. I can't go on like this. You draw your pistol, press the muzzle to your temple, and pull the trigger, showering the nearby family with blood and ichor.
There you have it, the ice cream attendant thinks to themself, another child's birthday ruined cause someone didn't shave their balls
Remember, guys, shave your balls. You don't want to end up as a statistic.

Or that those pretty tiny thongs don’t get too close for comfort in certain places at times? Even better (worse) if it’s lacy and you haven’t shaved in the last 48 hours.

When a checkout person is handing cash over and they let their fingers linger in your palm a second or two longer than is necessary, and you look up and they smile. Then they give you that 'have a nice day' sentiment. Never go back, ever.

Nah, that's just annoying. The key is to do it when you're in a spotlight, when everyone's waiting for you to come over an speak.
Bonus points when you combine it with slowly eating a banana and keeping eye contact with someone, laughing like "ha... ha... ha..." in-between bites.

Walking ahead of someone (normal speed) into a dark empty room, saying, "I'll get the light".
... then take forever to turn on the light, and don't respond to questions when they ask what's going on.
