do you hate nosy people?

I understand how you feel and you don't need to live in a small town, there is people like that everywhere even our own family, and I do know what you mean my Mother lives in a small town and she's always angry about what people are saying about her or if the neighbors are just jealous about them, tha's how it is in small towns just like you said everyone is in somebody else's business. if you are a widow and are seeing someone else, or if the man is married and is with a mistress.just ignore people, let them talk , just live your life.

I can't stand nosy people. They have nothing better to do than to pry into everyone else's lives. My husband is like that. He's very nosy he always has to know what everyone else is doing. And that drives me absolutely nuts. We share a drive way with the neighbours and if some is parked there he has to know who it how long they have been and what they are doing. It's crazy but I could care less what the next person is doing as long as it doesn't effect me than who cares. Some people need to really find there own lives!

oh yes... i hate nosy people... why can't those people mind their own business and leave us alone??? :-) i usually just ignore them as i don't feel that i am obligated to entertain them... or i will tell them politely that i don't want to answer their questions... worst come to the worst, i just keep on answering them i don't know... and they will go away eventually when they grow tired... take care and have a nice day...

I have a nosy neighbor. When they towed my car after a recent accident he practically fell over himself running to find out what happened. If something happens he's the one who knocks on doors to tell people even if it has nothing to do with him.

i'm sorry but LOL they ask you who you are on the phone with? !!! i'm with you, i don't like nosey people. even when it's my SISTER. we had a neighbor that watched us like tv. and she would call up and ask us who's car was in the driveway when she didn't recognize it. and once asked me why i took so long to drive out of the driveway once because i got in the car and just sat there awhile. well i was taking care of something before i started driving, but i thot it was none of her business.

That really happens when you live in a small town.You feel that almost all people know what happened in your life and they will even predict your future. I hate nosy people too. And you see them everywhere.In the market,office or any organization, you can avoid them if you decide or in some cases where you can't avoid them like in the office, I try to control what I say or do.Or when I have the urge to say something, I bite my tongue.

Yes I do hate nosy people. I work with one. She is always asking me questions about other people, and she always telling me things about others I am so sick of listening to her. When she asks me things I just tell her I dont no. She is one nosy person.

Yeah, I hate nosy people, as well as social climbers and hypocrites. And I hate those who think they are better than everyone. I can also relate to what you said about somebody coming up to you to ask who was on the phone. As if they have any business knowing that.

Well, I'm a very private person and if a neighbor or someone came up to me and asked me whom I'm talking to, my response would be..."I don't believe that's any of your business." Or, you could say, "Why do you need to know?" Now, that in and of itself might stir people up but you need to decide if you want your privacy or to be popular. It might make things uncomfortable in your town for a while but in the end, I think people will begin to respect your privacy and keep their noses out of your business. You also need to remember that you need to limit what you tell people about yourself and your life. Of course, you may have a challenge with this if you're married or have children. If you have kids, you could just make sure they overhear you complain about this and I'm sure they'd get the word out pretty quickly. Kids are good about being straight with people.

Hi! Oh there are nosy people sometimes and usually its very prominent in small towns like you said. I live in a small town too so I know the feeling. Its really irritating. Sometimes if people asks me about things they saw me doing I just answered them back "its nothing". And then just walk away. Its not that I hate nosy people but I don't like the habit of minding other's business. Its not a nice attitude. Especially I'm the kind of person who likes to be private and not tell anyone even my closest neighbors even about simple stuffs. The fact that I'm not a nosy person so I don't like my life to be in showbiz town neither. Ciao!

Yup, I hate nosy people. I'm a very private person, and respect others' privacy therefore I expect others to respect mine. That's one of the few reasons I enjoy living in a bigger town or city, where people and neighbours would be friendly without being nosy.

honestly, i don't vare what other people (even neighbors) might think, or even talk about me AS LONG as it doesn't affect my personal life. Sometimes we just have to understand them that when they have nothing to do about so they poke into our own businesses, and that they don't really know what going on about us to actually aprticipate in it. I love friendly neighbors who wants to get to know you.. But being neighbors, or even friends, still has that wall in which thay shouldn't step into or else they would violate our privacy. Nosy neighbors are just annoying that's all... :p

I really hate nosy people. Everyone has the right to privacy and these nosy people are really stepping on that right. Also I think it's rude that you try to know as much things about the affairs of your neighbor. Actually you have no right about it especially if it doesn't concern you. I think that people should know the limits of being concerned to your neighbor and being nosy.

we cant help people like that in small towns. they are used to such a kind of living where every body thinks he should know about every body else. they are yet to adjust themselves to the modern way of living. i think it all started with people trying to take care of others and they become like this. they involve themselves too much into others matters and let every body else know everything about them. they need more exposure to cities i guess.

I really don't like nosy people. I would rather be with people who mind their own business. There's nothing wrong with being sensitive to other people's needs or to be friendly but not to the point of sticking your nose to my own business. I know when I need someone to talk to because I'll definitely look for someone to spill my beans to. But most of the times I'd rather keep things to myself, I'm not much of a Hollywood personality, I don't let the world know about the things that are happening in my life. I'm a fairly private person. Yep, they better stick their noses to their own business... God bless...

There are nosy people whether you live in a small town or a big city. In a big city, an office could be like a small town and there would be rumors and gossip going around the water dispenser. I seem to have heard something to the effect that great people talk about issues and philosophy while small people talk about other people.

Sometimes I accept that people ask general questions just out of politeness or because they genuinely care but, I think you can tell when people are asking because they want to know all your business and are hoping they can pass on some gossip. I know people like that and usually try to avoid them altogether or give very vague answers to their questions. How rude of your neighbours to ask who you're talking to on your phone - unless you're talking loudly or using bad language and disturbing/offending them, in which case they could just point that out to you.

I don't like noisy people either because they tend to discuss my life in details, without actually knowing what is really going on. especially i don't accept advises from such people. being noisy does not always happen to be bad though. i enjoy people having a good sense of humor and maintaining relationships with others to encourage and help them. from my own experience the worst noisy people are those that keep talking only about themselves, without giving a chance to a listener to stick a word into discussion. i now many of them, and usually try to politely end the conversation with them.
