8 Things You Do That Will Always Be Creepy. Always.

Creeping. It can be a daily struggle for those who are shy, introverted, or horrified by the idea of human contact. But we've all been creepy at some point in our lives, and here's how.

The following creeping was performed in a controlled environment by a trained professional. Do not creep like this at home.

Touching someone's hand while you're both reaching for the same thing.

Just saying "skin to skin contact" is super creepy.

Picking something off a stranger, or tucking their shirt tag in for them.

It's a very "Hellooo, Clarice..." kind of moment.

Staring.

Like your eyes are undressing someone's soul.

Close-talking and generally invading personal space.

Even your internal organs are like, "Dude, back the f**k up!"

Paying with change.

It's the sound of paying with change that is creepiest of all.

Whispering into someone's ear when it's just the two of you.

There's no one around to hear you speak, but it's creepy because there's also no one around you to hear you scream.

Making eye contact with a person through a bathroom stall.

One of you is pooping, and that's why it's weird.
