To look back at them, act a certain way or do something else entirely?

Ignore them…

I mean, unless you’re doing / wearing something intentionally provocative, then the fact that they’re staring at you is their issue. If it makes you uncomfortable, I’d stare right back at them until they stop. Generally, if someone’s being creepy, they don’t want you to know they’re being creepy.
 
Some suggestion

1: Look into their eyes and hold eye contact as you pick your nose.

2: Look at them and smack your lips.

3: Run away and hide.

4: Death glare.

5: Start jerking your limbs violently.

6a: Put ketchup on your finger.
6b: Wave it in front of their face and ask if it looks infected.

7: Start talking to yourself. Loudly.

8: Use your phone to get a picture of them.

9: Rock back and forth with vigor.

10: They can’t stare if they don’t have eyes. (Or if you throw a burlap sack over their head.)

These should stop the awkwardness of being stared at.

I know this may sound strange, but what about a polite greeting? What about small chit chat like neighbors used to do?
 
At one stage some of our neighbours wern’t being so pleasant and would stand and stare together across a little field at me doing chores…so I would wave to them in a happy way and they moved on.I don’t like being watched so sometimes in a waiting room I will notice someone watching when I enter and if they are staring go and sit right beside them .That way they can’t be looking at you.I used to do this with my children if some weirdo was staring at them .
I’m always in the habit of scanning and if I notice someone staring ,look straight at them so that they know I know…if you know what I mean 🙂
 
Usually, if someone is staring at me, it’s because they think they’ve seen me somewhere before. If I catch them staring, I just smile and nod.

Of course, there was one time I was at a Moody Blues concert. And someone was sitting in another row to the left of me. I was enjoying the concert, singing along as I always do. And as each song would end and the Moodies would switch guitars for the next number, I’d see this one person staring at me. It really made me uneasy because I couldn’t figure out what this person’s issue was. I smiled pleasantly but never did figure out why she was staring at me. Really weird.
 
To pick up where mVitus left off.
  1. Stick out your tongue, and if you have a tongue ring, or are chewing gum or tobacco so much the better.
  2. Turn you head, touch your ear and say 1 Adam 12 I think the suspect has made me please send backup.
  3. Stare back but have a huge grin on your face, and fart if you can.
 
I generally stand on my head, except for at church or while on the subway. Well, sometimes on the subway, it depends.

I puff up my chest, scowl, and yell, “Are you mad-doggin’ me?”
(not really… that’s what the gangsters used to say around here)
People rarely stare at me, or if they do, I don’t notice.
 
I sit up straight, puff my chest out, and allow them to behold my glorious visage. Perhaps they’re a talent scout? 😃
