Rear Window Moments

Last night, as we sat outside on a patio, MH described us getting told to shut up by a person he'd been watching in her window as a "rear window moment." And this morning, I realized that that's totally what happend to me on Friendster!

See, I thought I had turned on the anonymous feature, but I hadn't. And now all the people I was watching are watching me! Several weird things have already happened because of this, but beyond any individual outcome I'm just feeling creepified in general. I'm glad Hitchcock has provided us a term for this phenomenon because it's extremely disconcerting.
