    My neighbors across the street had a kid who would creep around in people’s front yards and peek in their windows. Like cup his hands around his eyes against the glass to reduce glare and see better. Not like from feet away.

    Kid was really annoying and intrusive in other ways too. Like pushing to help you carry in your groceries, not knowing when to drop it, and being offended that you turned him down. Weird kid.

    That was all mostly back when he was 8 or 9. He’s like 20 now and I think he still lives there. Hasn’t done any creeping or intrusive BS in a long time as far as I know.

      sounds like he just wanted someone to notice him and pay attention to him

        He might just be a super curious kid. When I was a kid I loved going into other people’s houses because I was curious and liked exploring.

        …which is probably part of the reason people never invited me over.

        Also possible the kid has really bad eye sight without realising it.
