See shirts like that would cause me to "stare" at the wearer. Not that I'm staring at them, but I'm reading what is written on the shirt. Frankly, I'd likely be offended if I read "turn around and mind your business..." - I was only "staring" because I was reading the shirt. Had they not been wearing such a shirt, I'd have walked past with no staring.
My husband wears shirts with funny geeky slogans on them. I love them, and he always gets positive comments. I don't mind when people read my shirt (if I ever wear a shirt that says anything), but I HATE when they stare at my leg/foot. I'm thinking about getting a giant "UP" arrow tattooed on my leg that points upward so people remember there's more to me than just a bad leg
The worst is when people turn around to KEEP staring at you as you go by. Like, I'll walk by and they literally turn their head to keep watching me walk. YES, I limp. WOW! It's not like I've sprouted a tail or something, as well. That, to me, is beyond regular human curiosity- that's just plain ignorance. I wish I had the nerve to say something to people when they do that because it's so rude.
