its sexual harrassment if you undress someone with your eyes, watch them bend over, etc.? No dirty comments, no touching or anything. eh? What if this is done excessively? Someone just can't stop staring?

By law, this is sexual harassment. But you would need to let the person know that it is offending you. You can do this in one of two ways: tell the person outright he/she is offending you; or if you want to avoid a confrontation- tell your supervisor or the head of the human resource department.
Personally I would choose the second option. I used to train employees regarding sexual harassment, and these are the best options that I can give you. You need to start documenting (and date if you can remember) the first time this occured, how many times it has occured and document the date and what was said when report it to your Superiors. If the problem continues, the company and the person are committing a great big no, no.
This has happened as long as jobs of any kind have been available. But the laws were passed so that no one has to put up with or be subjected to this type of behavior. The law guarantees you the right not to be sexually harrassed, or to have to work in a hostile work environment.
There are severral different types of behaviors that are considered to be sexual harrassment: being oogled by somebody- like in your case; Say someone is telling a person sitting near you a dirty joke or talking about the hot date they had last night. Even though this person was not talking directly to you, if it offends you to hear a conversation such as this- it is sexual harrassment. A person calling somebody baby, sugar, honey, sweetie, etc.-that is sexual harrassment. Even a poster on a wall such as say Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Editions- that could be sexual harrassment. Someone whistling at or telling another person how hot they are-sexual harrassment.
Many people do not understand why all these trivial things could be sexual harrassment. It might be acceptable by others routinely; but the key words are the workplace. This cannot be allowed or tolerated in the workplace.
I hope this info helped.

Um...geez I am trying to remember...I used to be a project manager working with Human Resources about 5 years ago. There is something about making someone feel umcomfortable in a work place believe it or not, and I think there was an instance in which something like this actually took place. Oh well. knowing me, I will remember what it is about 3am. ; )

undressing with you eyes, no as long as you arnt drooling or anything, but the watching them bend over, yes because i'm sure people are noticing. and its probably very uncomfortable

it is natural for both men and woman to look and stare at each other, and quietly fantisise sexualy about them.
If this act bothers you, stop dressing so provoactitevely as to arouse the sexual instinks in others

If it makes you uncomfortable, its sexual harrassment. Thats the law.

You need to confront the person about this and tell them to stop, then, if it continues, yes that would be sexual harassment.
