Is it discourteous to butt in between two people talking?

As far as my friends are concerned I don't mind but if a stranger suddenly butts in between a private discussion that gets me real angry...Sometimes they even refuse to notice the subtle hints of "please leave" and keep on speaking until either one of us move away... And here in mylot some people are really rude but guess they can't help it or they enjoy doing so....

Yea even i have encountered such situations here at mylot , i was just telling the experience i had in my life , two women were like they say i gave a dangerous suggestion , i told her to mind her own and ask not to interfere my response , as the owner understood that im just sharing what i experienced but these woman's i dont know what bothered them , i don't like to keep my mouth shut in such situation who are they to comment me ? as i dint do anything that is against the mylot rules are mid guiding anyone.I hate these things

[i]hi salonga, Absolutely it is..I haven't experienced that yet here but in real life yes and sometimes, I will just say , it's still my turn..hahahha! ANyway, this site is very open and one disadvantage is that people abuse it intentionally on unintentionally@[/i]

I am not so aware or maybe I just ignore people butting in in some of mylot discussions. But in real life, there is one person who I hate so much when people are talking and she will butt in, without asking for permission to talk. That is my step daughter, and my wife hates her too with her attitude.

Yes, it is for me. I am annoyed when someone butts in my conversation with other people and share their unwanted opinion but I cannot help it because we are sharing a common room in our work and there are many people there but I do make it a point not to do it with other people. Whenever the person I need to talk to is conversing with other people, I would wait for the discussion to be over first before I approach the person I needed to talk with. If I can't wait, I would say a simple "excuse me" and talk to the person as fast as I could. I was raised by my parents knowing too well how to respect other people and I still carry it with me wherever I go.

When you feel very strongly about the subject bein discussed and feel that the discussion is going in the wrong direction, youfeel like butting inand correcting the people invilved in the discussion. Some people feel offended, but some feel glad you corrected them. It depends on teh relationship with the individuals.

In real life I really find it rude bu in here at Mylot I think it is really just a normal thing and I do not find it rude at all. I also do that sometimes. When I find a a response to a post that I like and most of the things written there is the same as my thoughts then instead of writing a response I just add to it instead.

It's a case to case basis. For me, you have to approach them in a nice way and if you're acquainted with what they're talking, then you can butt in and tell them your ideas as well. You have to be humble and stay nice all throughout.

For me, sometimes it's really discourteous if someone just butts in in a conversation specially not invited, but sometimes there are emergencies and someone needs to really butt in and cut the conversation (ex. something bad happened at home and somebody just got to tell the person). Yes, I agree maam. I have seen a lot here in mylot. I just hope they just respond and not comment on others' response. I don't know if I'm right: I guess it should be starter-respondent interaction and not respondent-respondent interaction.

I have the same point of view as you. As long as the person asks permission for interrupting the conversation,it's fine for me to stop talking for a while. But I find it very annoying for someone just directly butts in the dialog without saying "excuse me". Lol. Unless there is an urgency to do so,if not I don't see the courtesy for doing so. If I were the person,I will always wait for the one who is talking to stop talking first then I ask for permission to interrupt in for a while.

Hi salonga,I have faced the situation many times , I get irritated when someone behaves so.But at the same time I feel that some people are like that and they dont even know that their behaviour irritates others.When someone behaves so I cant be rude to them as am not used to be rude.Then the whole surrounding and our mood would get spoilt .So its better to ignore such characters.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

hello there! it's impolite to butt in in a conversation.i agree with you that that person has to ask permission first before stating his opinions.but if that person is included in the conversation,then i don't think there's no need for him to ask.i've encountered people like these who just interrupts out of nowhere and blend in with the conversation as if they're invited.i personally think that it's an unhealthy behavior and decorum.happy mylotting!

Hi there friend... I really haven't been around long enough to find such "rudeness" in mylot but I guess it is not really that far fetched to have some unsolicited comments that are rude. Mylot does cater to all kinds. Comments may come from all points of view and are expressed in all ways. But where a member is persistently commenting rudely and it really gets offensive, is there no way for a member to report such member at mylot? I believe there should... Otherwise, take it with a grain of salt... Happy mylotting...

Maybe it's Ok if you are trying to help? I still find it rude though.

Hi salonga! Yes, you are right. It can sometimes be very rude when someone comes in out of nowhere to butt into the conversation who nobody asked to be there and starts answering the discussion question instead of the person that started it. In fact I saw that happen just yesterday and the starter of the discussion was having trouble getting back in her own discussion. It was really funny, but not. I saw it happen in another discussion and that was plain stupid. This person came out of nowhere and was trying to take over the discussion. It was absolutely ridiculous! It isn't polite in real life conversations, so why would it be here. It is fun when it's side comments meant to add to the humour sometimes, but when it's done in the middle of a serious discussion it is just plain rude!
