The Oregon Stare

A phenomenon that occurs in the state of Oregon. Lifetime residents aren't aware or it. Only those who have spent some time out of state will notice. The citizens of Oregon love to stare. In traffic, at the grocery store, in line at the bank, etc. It's what they do, and when you catch them staring, the won't look away.
They were never taught public manners because the only city in the entire state is Portland. Don't take it as a threat or an insult. It's simply their way of life.

You've heard the saying "a deer in the headlights." More like "an Oregonian in the Wal-Mart."
You ever get that feeling that someone's watching you? Oh right, we're in Oregon.
