Yes we have the same feeling. I don't like to be disturbed if I'm working at my computer. That's why I will tell my sister not to disturb me when I'm in my room.

The worst for me is when I am on MyLot and I am also logged into msn. I will be responding to a discussion and really concentrating, then all of a sudden a friend sends me a nudge and I get mad. It is really annoying and rude I think. Like they can't wait two minutes and I have to drop what I'm doing just to answer them. Geeezzzzz.

Only if I'm doing something very important. You should change your attitude or you'll end up with no friends

It doesn't bother me when someone disturbs me while using my computer offline. I can always take my eyes off it and get back to what I was doing without worries. When I was still using a dial-up connection I would get annoyed each time someone ask me to disconnect because they will use the phone. I get irritated because back then I was using a prepaid dial-up service that it is so difficult to connect to the server.

What I really hate is to be doing something and my messenger pops up with someone just wanting to chat.I would not even have it on except it is an easy way for my daughter and grandkids to reach me if necessary. I think the ones I would really hate to be are the ones with kids and only one computer and they are all yelling at you that they want there turn. EKKKKK calgon take me away!

I usually use my computer at night. It is because everybody is already asleep. So no one can disturbed my computing. And yes, I also find it annoying when somebody tries to disturb me when I'm computing. I find it disturbing when somebody is looking at my work. I want to share my thoughts privately.

I don't use computers at night now. Though it would lessen the people who usually disturb me.

Not really. I have a son who needs my time and attention lol. I only get to go online when he's napping or when my boyfriend's playing with him. Sometime, I have him on my lap when I'm using the computer. He loves banging on the keyboards though so I have an extra unplugged one lmao. So regarding your question.. No, I don't mind. Unless it's my sister bugging me to get off or something.

it always depends on the situation. when i am doing something really important and it is needed immediately, definitely i don't want to be disturbed. i'd sometimes shout at the person who disturbs me (i know, my bad!). i feel so tensed and pressured if i have a deadline and people disturbs me. but if i am just chatting or playing some games, it is fine to disturb me or even talk to me or even use the computer first.

computers - My kitten loves the computer.
What I really hate is when someone looks over my shoulder to see what I am doing on the computer. Before my step son moved out, he would do that and it drove me batty. I not only think it's rude, but I equate it with eavedropping on someone's phone conversation, which btw, he would do also.

Sometimes I do. Usually I feel disturb when someone in MSN messenger call me. and when I was posting blog or forum, he send some sentences with some entered send. it's very annoy me! I don't bother to chat while I was concentrate to something with my computer. but if he talked something that very unimportant things. and usually, he nudge me if I don't reply it as soon as possible.. well, then I will told him that I wanted to off, then I signed out the MSN, and continued what I was doing. hehe.. But, if someone next to me ( my family) disturbed me when I was concentrated. I would lose my control, and without thinking anymore, I would start angry.. (I'm so sorry for my family..) "

I do find it annoying because I only use it when my chores and obligations are finished, but it isn't like that with the others who are disturbing me. I ask them to do soemthing and then try to use the computer for a few minutes, only to find they want their 'turn' but haven't done what I asked in the first place. So, there are really two things that bother me about it. The place will be neat and tidy because I saw to it before using the computer and then it isn't, and I have troupble getting people to understand they have to clean up the mess before they bug me for their computer time!
