How to deal with over inquisitive people ?

hi rollylolly I was seated next to a very inquisitive lady on a long bus ride. She kept asking personal questions and finally I had had.So when she asked me whatt my destination was I told her I had a rare skin disorder,very contagious and was on my way to the blah blah clinic. She got out of her seat and moved back five seats.So try that the next time you meet someone who is super snoopy.

i think i would just go along with it. I would not give her my cell phone number or adress because she could have been a creepy stalker. Other than that i would just go with it you talkin to ger probably made her day

Hi! It is really interesting to hear what happened with you. I think the over inquisitive and over curious lady did not behave rightly with you. It was none of her business to ask about your personal details. Asking for your phone number was equally weird on her part. Had I been in your place, I would have told her that do not dig deep into my details, as we are strangers and I do not know you and am not interested in knowing about you. The world is full of good and bad people, however, on our part we should remain alert and should not divulge our personal details to a stranger.

There are really people like that but not always do we encounter such kind of persons. In Manila it's very seldom that you met this kind of person but in the provinces, maybe once in a while we can encounter them. What I did was I just ignored the person. Mostly elder persons are inquisitive.

You can tell her your name but for the address and phone number, I don't think it is necessary. Maybe you can just ignore her and if she gets irritating, you can just transfer to another seat or bus. There are really people who are like that. I think elderly people like her seek more attention especially when they are old

It's really difficult to deal with these type of people. That is why as much as possible, I try to avoid them. In your case, it is clear that the old lady is at fault. She should know that asking such things are inappropriate. If she's referring to you as one of the young people who are full of pride, then you wouldn't have offered your seat to her, right? She is simply annoyed. There is nothing you could really do but to go along with it. They are old people, and we should understand that at this period, they need people to talk to. Of course, you have to make sure that you don't give out your personal information to them.

You demonstrated your respect by giving her a seat, and everyone could see that. It sounds like she is a lonely older person. Perhaps her nosey habits have driven away all of her family and friends. I would change the subject when she asked for information that you cannot or do not want to give her.

Oh my God... I"m so glad I have not encountered a person like that yet, and God forbids! She is annoying and I wouldn't want to continue talking too her anymore. If I'm almost near to my destination, I'd descend from the bus and walk the remaining way. If not, I'll transfer to a different seat. If this is not still possible,I hate to be rude but it seems that even if I say it nicely she's consider is still as being rude so I'll just say "Grandma, if you'll excuse me I want to be left in peace." I believe she's really old to be that grumpy. Patience...

Oh my this was a lot to ask someone and for her to be upset was uncalled for. I suppose the only way is to simply say I don't usually give out too much detail to people I do not know closely. She of course would be upset about that as well but then she is the one who needs to realize that we should not be so overly inquisitive towards people we meet. I don't understand why she would think it was pride, we live in a world where safety has to be of concern.

With that kind of woman, i would excuse myself and pretend to sleep.

That is just weird that she would ask for your address like that. I am a very sweet person and believe in respecting people, however I feel like she should have respected your privatcy. I make it a habbit to never give out my phone number or my address to people that I do not know. I would have probably told her that.

I'm quite privet person. I don't like when people asking me about my personal detail or my privet life. I can tell you but this is etirely my free will. If someone is like that as this lady in the bus I will tell her with a smile that this is not her business or I will start asking her about her details like shoe number and size of her bra. It always works

This woman was very rude to be asking personal questions of you when you had only just met and been so kind to offer your seat. Secondly to belittle you in front of others I would certainly made an effort to move away and would hope never to meet that person again.

You're so kind for offering your seat to an old lady. I agree that she's really annoying. Like what others had suggested, you can just ignore or avoid her (or other people like her). Plus, she is already old. There's nothing much you can do about her. I know someone who is very inquisitive, too. She's in her late 40's (or probably in her early 50's). When I run into her on the streets, she would talk very loudly and ask me a lot of strange questions. If I didn't see her, she would try to get my attention by shouting my name. This is kind of embarrassing, because passersby tend to look at us. She's quite difficult to avoid, but the good thing is she never said that I'm a girl full of pride. I'm not sure what you can do, but perhaps you can pretend talking on the phone while you're on the bus with her. Or maybe you can politely tell her that you have a sore throat the next time she tries striking a conversation with you. Good luck. And I don't think you're a girl full of pride.

If that person is very disturbing you, and want to know a lot about you. Just answer your heart's content, if you do not want people that know a lot about you, maybe you can get a little lie to that person.

Well technically speaking, you don't really have to tell the truth to a complete and total stranger. Granted, that might not be considered ethical to people, but its not exactly ethical to butt your nose into people's business when they obviously do not really have any business whatsoever. So it really does depend if it is the less of two evils. When people ask for any personal information, I throw several walls up. In this day and age, there are so many people out there that really are not going to be all that trustworthy. Don't you think that a total stranger asking for your life story essentially is a bit suspicious? The world has made me paranoid. However just because I'm paranoid, doesn't necessarily mean that they're not out to get you.

some people is always like this they think that they are in the perfect and smaller once not good they always says like this
