Hawaii Stink Eye
I've heard lots of references to "Stink Eye" and in the travel brochures. Anyone have interesting stories about their encounter with stink eye? Also for anyone contemplating a move to Hawaii, how big of an issue is the stink eye. Are there certain areas you should avoid as a mainlander?

Sure you don't mean "pink eye"? I can't imagine any travel brochure that would highlight stink eye. I get it on occaision, normally from haole tourists. If you're coming over here paranoid, you may as well stay put.

Stinkeye is just a dirty look. I got a lot more of them in my life on the mainland than I do here.

And my very tall, very handsome haole SO gives me when I get caught taking a peek at a cute local boy... Works both ways, gentlemen!
(He gets when I catch him looking at blonds--he should know by now that an Irish girl isn't going to stand for that!!)
All in good fun, of course. |
