I hate it when people whisper.

whispering does'nt really bother me,it's the mumblers i absolutly hate

Whispering means that definitely people don't want you to know what they are talking about. When its someone in a public place that I don't not knew, then its fine with me. But, if it is done by someone I knew, I would definitely react and raise an eyebrow. I fell like somebody is telling someone secret enough that me (as their friend) doesn't want to knew. Damn, I hate it. In our house, it is not allowed. When someone wanted to tell someone and did not want others to hear it, I make it a point the they knew that they have to excuse for a moment and continue their conversation somewhere else.

It depends on how they do it. If i see person or people whispering while looking at me and they laugh after the whisper that is being rude. I usually send them a mesage by looking at them badly. I am not sure if they are making fun at me, but that is rude gesture for me. Moreover, some people whisper so that whatever they are talking about will be heard by them only and the person they want to share it with. Like in gatherings and seminars, it is akward and confusing if you talk loud on this situation, it is like your competing with the speaker when you do it. So you just whisper what you want to say to your companion to avoid attract attention. Your business is not everyones business so you whisper.

Yes I do I think it is rude espiceally when my teen daughters who are usaly loud do it when I walk into the room

hi there jugsjugs i think its rude to whisper its not really nice and i hate it when they whisper in front of you why can't they go to another room and talk instead of whispering its more respectful that way take care happy postings.

My daughter actually does that--its not even whisper really she'll moving her lips like she's talking but she's not and its soooo weird, she does this when I raise my voice and its just her way of telling me to bring it down, lol. But when she does it even though she's not talking its like theirs vibration coming off of her, oh i dont like it.

It is not only rude, it feels intimidating at times. About the same as when two people speak a foreign language in front of someone who does not speak that language. It could be perfectly innocent, but it feels like something rude and like they are talking about you.

Maybe it's not always good to whisper, but I can't find fault with anyone as long as there're some good reason for it that I don't know. If people want to share something out of my head, I can't force them to reveal it. Anyway, I try behaving reasonably sothat I won't be ashamed of myself, then I don't care about the stories behind me.

it depends on the time and place IF I'm at a movie theater and I have to get up (say to go to the bathroom) I might whisper to my friend I'm with that I'll be right back. If I'm in a different room and don't want to share with people in the next room what I want to say to the person in the same room, I might whisper. If I'm in the room with the person and don't want to share something with all the people in the room, I say nothing at all, whispering in front of a person is very rude.

That used to bother me when I was a kid, but lately nobody I know does that. I guess it is something most people grow out of.

hi jugsjugs yes I am with you on that, it is very rude, and rather insulting also. I would never do that to other people. Also I hate it when people I am with start talking in a language that I do not understand and cannot speak. I feel like they are deliberately cutting me out or talking about me, or both. I think that is rude and insulting. If they did not want me there then why was I asked to come? People like that are not very good friends for sure.

It is rude! I hate it too. I always think they are either talking about me or something I am not intelligent enough or up to speed to understand. Not sure. Ofcourse you have to consider the source. Do they have a beef again you? Are they immature or demented? What is their problem? haha

I hate it too. it seems like it is even louder when they whisper than when they yell.
