The German Stare

A few weeks ago someone told me about how the Germans have a very particular way of staring.  I thought he was just making it up, but after riding the train to and from work everyday for several weeks, I realized it was true.  When a normal person stares at you, the guy will immediately try and look away as soon as he is discovered, feigning that he wasn’t doing anything wrong.  When a German stares they keep staring.  On the bus the other day, I had an older German staring at me and even though I notice and looked right back at him (typically when one looks away), the guy unabashedly kept staring for several minutes.  Has anyone else encoutered this?
