Nosy...

I try to give them as diplomatic answer as possible, its not always OK to avoid or be rude with them. My brother-in-law is getting married day after tomorrow and my parents are invited to the ceremony. Usually Indians expect a gift of gold within the close & immediate family circle so my mom was thinking of gifting my would-be SIL a set of earrings. Now my colleague at office is very inquisitive. Just the other day she was asking me what my parents are buying as gifts and what do I plan to do! Just imagine as if I have to discuss with her such intimate family details. Anyway for me I said that I am yet undecided and for my parents I said that I didn’t know. She kept on prodding…haven’t you asked her, after all its her daughters parents, your prestige has to be kept in mind and so on…finally I gave her a cold look and said ‘look here, they are much more experienced than me and have handled a lot more family marriages so they know better than you and me on what to give and how much to spend’. That shut her up for the moment but before long she was back with some other question. Man! She is becoming sooooooooo inquisitive, its almost comical.

Don't care about it.They have a big mouth as mosy parker. I hate this kind of people...Their made me some nausea. Dear friend Nice day,.

We can't deal with such people. We can only avoid them. My office too have some noisy managers and staffs. But sometimes we have to accomodate them too.

Oh i just ignore them. I think they do it to add excitement to their otherwise boring existence.

Hi dolce_vita! I do get annoyed with nosy people but I really learned now how to just ignore them. Like you, I just give them a smile and not really let them get into my nerves. I usually ask them why do you need to know? hehe..And most of the time they answer, "Oh just nothing!"..Then I just smile at them and let the conversation go. I am a very private person and these people really are not welcome in my life. hehe..Just my thoughts. take care and have a nice day! :)

Nosy people is everywhere. Some of my workmates are that kind of people. They do nothing but talk about some ruma all the day. They are good at flattering bosses and can get promotions easily. What I do is keep distance with them but never irritate them. They will not help you with something but can bring you into trouble easily. Keep distance, treat politely.

Oh I have a great story to go with this discussion. I am a part time (formerly full time) server. I often get asked if I'm a stripper (heller compliment for a 36 year old!) when paying for things with my tips. One day, this girl from highschool was working at a restaurant and tried to make a thing of it when I paid for dinner (buffet style place with cashier at the door) and she caught me on a bad day, so I told her that if she absolutely had to know where my ones came from it was dollar night on my corner last night! Nosey people giving you a hard time? Embarrass them, they'll shut up.

Well I really hate hypocrites like my ex-friend who actually dislikes me because she said I was a backstabber. Well for one, we all are. I am not a genuine backstabber but we can't help to make comments behind other's backs. I'd be wrong if you know someone who hasn't made a criticism yet since the start of his life. Well the story was she was so selfish I couldn't stand her so I didn't interact with her for weeks. Maybe she had known it and heard some story from others to whom I have told the reason why I am annoyed with her. And she said I was a backstabber. I was pissed because she, herself does side comments behind others' back so why is she acting like she doesn't do anything wrong in the first place? Anyway, the thing is.. she's pissed with me too. But then views my Friendster profile anyway. Well the issue here is I am pissed and she is pissed and I'm not viewing her Friendster profile but why does she bother herself to view mine in the first place? She's just so nosy it makes me want to pity her. But I know I shouldn't hate her because it's really not worth it.
