Sometimes, I just have to shake my head (couldn't be that I'm getting to be an old fogy...) as I watch people. Airports are a good place for seeing people at both their best and worst, especially when there are long delays from bad weather or mechanical issues.
RV Parks are another good spot to observe people. Of course, everyone loves to watch others back into tight spaces. People vary so much in how they go about it. Some couples use their cell phones to communicate, others use walkie-talkies. Other like ourselves, just use hand signals. (It definitely helps to have been married to a former farmer who is used BIG machinery.) You can tell the people who have been at it for a while. There may be a bit of adjusting and maneuvering, but it's over quickly and the rig is in place. For others, there is a lot of backing and forwarding and often a great deal of yelling.
Then it's interesting to watch people set up. Water and electricity have to be hooked up and rigs leveled. Some people do it in tandem. Some people (mostly ladies) will wait in the truck until everything is done, then they will go inside.
People with pets are also fun to watch. For example, the couple a few doors down have a very big furry dog. He usually walks it early in the mornings. Then later in the day, the dog walks the lady. He pulls her along at a pretty good clip. Another neighbor has three little sort of Yorkie dogs. She's fun to watch as the three of them never want to go in the same direction. One of them always wants to go a different way. Often, she gives up and picks up one or two of them in order to continue her walk.
If you enjoy people watching, life is never boring.
