Default People getting mad when you inspect them

I know this has been discussed before but was just talking with an old friend about it. One of the things that I clearly remember from live at least on my server was that people would get absolutely enraged if you inspected them without asking, not everyone but a lot would. Don't really notice that here. Have we all matured since then? (Doubtful). I see it as a former of flattery that I'd take time to check you out but my buddy thinks it's disrespectful to not ask. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't want some greasy stranger rubbing their hands all over me. Checking out the tags on my clothing.
Has nothing to do with maturity. It's about personal space.

100% disrespectful to not ask before inspecting.

I chase them around the tunnel. It's quite funny to watch people get up and move when you inspect.

I stand at the front of the Tunnel to be sure that I get inspected, but I'm an exhibitionist.

It was certainly an oddity. I am glad that the awkward feelings persist, much like unwanted hugs and tickles for strangers (Just in-game, not in public!).

You are the type of player I love to mess with. I will run my toon right up behind yours, and stand there uncomfortable close just to make you sweat in your pixels. As soon as guys like you notice my toon parked up on yours, you move away. I then follow. You then run, and I run behind you chasing you... Ahhh fun times.

If they get mad they're easily rustled, just spam inspect them (hit escape or the X on the window and inspect again). You'll be doing them a favor by desensitizing them <3

It is just a game, but in roleplaying terms it would be like some stranger coming up to you in the street and grabbing you shirt collar or pulling your pants tag out to see what your wearing and going through your pockets or purse to see what your carrying. Trying that in real life would get you you punched or have the cops called on you. So some people don't like it in the game either.

I think people don't like being inspected so they won't be seen as a show off.
