If I’m standing there doing trade work let’s say, why do people think it’s ok to just stand there and watch me?

If you’re sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.

I find it really interesting watching someone do something well, particularly when it’s a thing I struggle with. Don’t generally watch tradies to avoid making them uncomfortable, though - that’s too micromanagery
