But.... but they are actively SHOWING FILMS with people looking at each other, and INTO CAMERAS, even, as a part of their business!! It’s like the tobacco companies asking their employees not to smoke!

“Good question. Is there a cumulative time clock?”

The jokes just write themselves on this ridiculous topic.

Is there a limit to how many 5 second gazes you can take in a minute? Or an hour?

Does this mean that any employee can file a harassment complaint with HR if she experiences eye contact longer than five seconds?

Who is the Official Time Keeper for these glances?

Staff meetings must be hilarious. “Everyone take your seats and stare down at your lap...”

What if the stare police stares at the starer more than 5 seconds?
________________

Well that’s true. The Stare Police would have to be staring at the starer more than 5 seconds to know that he was staring more than 5 seconds. Perhaps we need a Stare Force to monitor the Stare Police.

In middle school we would just say “take a picture, it lasts longer” if someone was staring at us.

Maybe they should have a “human interaction at grade school level” training day for their employees instead of trying to police this stupid rule.

Myrna Loy’s face is the best in all of those. The thing I can’t figure out about women - that sociopathy.

They can turn it on and off.

Netflix has reportedly banned workers from looking at each other for more than five seconds

Just like some celebrities and politicians don’t want the lower classes to look at them.

Maybe with less staring they can concentrate more on getting better than Z-grade movies on their streaming service...

I’ll give her this: She does that very well, LOL.

It was freaky the first time I saw one of her videos.

No more than 12 per minute.

Or 720 per hour! ;)
