How would you respond? (A social experiment)

[The Valkyrie]

Set fire to the car.

You can't be too careful.

Especially if the creep appeared to be staring at me and masturbating.

[Edwardo Piet]

Imagine that you are sitting in your car waiting for your girlfriend to get off

I stopped reading at this point. Why WAIT for the girlfriend to get off? HELP her get off

Hey, you never told me NOT to stare at you and masturbate. Sheesh.

My initial thought is that it's someone who lives in his car. I'd go on about my day as usual.

Same here. Many years ago, I lived in my car for about 5 months.

Here's one for you-

I had a paternal uncle who used to take his wife to the grocery store, because she never learned to drive. Long story about that, but- I went by the grocery store and saw my uncle sitting in the car, just sitting there. The car radio wasn't even on. My aunt was in the store doing the weekly grocery shopping, but he wasn't in there, helping in any way. My dad didn't help my mother shop for groceries, but he worked second shift and was asleep when my mom went to the store. He didn't sit there in the car like a bump on a log. Just an alternative explanation for that behavior.

As long as I can tell they are not hurt, then I'd let it be.

I would punch threw his car window, drag him out and stomp him repeatedly on the ground.

Imagine, if you will, a public business you enjoy visiting more than any other place.  Now imagine that you frequent the place quite regularly.

Imagine, as you pull into the parking lot, seeing someone sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle.  The person appears normal.  You go into the business, do your thing, spend an hour or two there, then you leave and still see the person in the passenger seat of the vehicle next to yours.  What is your initial thought/judgment of this person?

Now, fast forward a week.  Imagine that you have visited your favorite place several times and each time you've seen the vehicle in the parking lot that same person is sitting in the passenger seat.  Granted, the vehicle hasn't been there every time you've visited, but just enough to make you think harder.  Now what do you think of this person?

Now, fast forward a month.  You haven't been able to get enough of your favorite place, and you have continued to see the same vehicle with the same passenger quite regularly.  What is going on in your mind?  Are you in any way concerned?  Will you confront this person?

Do you normally go there around the same time each time? Perhaps that person has some social anxiety or agoraphobia happening with them, and so rather than go out the car and follow whoever the driver happens to be, they stay in the car for the whole hour or so in order to remain in their comfort zone. And there are ways to pass time for an hour inside the car without much boredom ... if you have your mobile phone and enough data to browse the net and watch some videos.
