Visual contact
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2020 4:21 pm
Hello friends I have observed some interesting things today.
I had to go to a place in the airport, and when I asked a security man for directions he told me to follow a woman he just had finished explaining the way to the same place. So I started following her at a distance (she didnt know), and took it a little like a mission for fun.
We went up automatic staircases, did a turn, and crossed a tunnel bridge between two buildings.
At the end of that bridge, there was a bystander, in the perfect spot for watching all the people coming across the bridge. We made eye contact for a moment and all the mental alarms went off. ''An enemy agent, they now have located me''. After that his eyes went down to something he had on his hands, a book or a newspaper or something like that, and stayed that way as I crossed across him. The lack of visual contact the rest of the time, or even being able to see his eyes at all as he looked down made me feel like he was not at all related with me or a threat in any way.
It made me realize that if he never made eye contact with me I wouldnt even remember him, the same as I dont remember anyone I crossed today appart from him, the girl, and the security guard.
I completed the mission succesfully without the evil enemy agents disrupting my chores and then I took the bus back home.
From the bus, in a traffic stop I observed a young man coming out his house, in a street with almost no people. By chance, another pedestrian, ended up walking behind him. You know the feeling when you want to turn to see who you have approaching from behind in case is dangerous, but also dont want to be the guy that suddenly turns with a reactive body languaje and scares the shit out of all the people that happens to walk behind you in a city.
He did it with the perfect solution, he casually stopped and turned half way, putting his back on the wall, and looked back, but instead of the guy behind him he made it look like he was looking at the end of the street, far away, without any eye contact towards the other guy. It wasnt weird at all, he could be trying to decide if going back cause he forgot something at home, or maybe looking to see if the bus was coming, or maybe waiting for some friends that were back there. The other guy passed him and then he waited a little more and continued his walking. I knew it was to check on the guy behind because of his body languaje at the beggining and after the other guy passed.
This is more like day ops material so maybe it has to be moved to the general thread.
Any stories about visual contact?
