I find myself feeling like i'm invading someones privacy or spying on them.
On another note, have you ever been confronted about snapping away in public by a person who wasn't happy for you to take their picture with out their permission or maybe by someone who didn't want you taking pictures at the particular location?

Just use a longer lens, or shoot from the hip, or lower down. My opinions are that they're in teh public domain, it's tough really. Not much they can do about it. Just be careful sniping at kids... for obvious reasons.. in fact, in today's paranoid environment, best not even try that at all.
I've had people have a go at me when they notice, but again.. tough really... not much they can do legally, and if they want to get nasty, then the law is on my side.
If your pics are for your own use, or not for commercial gain, there's no need for a nodel release anyway, so anyone outside is fair game.
