Eavesdropping

I think you describe it wrong. Perhaps you are talking about gossips. Anyway, I have meet a lot of people who talk and gossips so much in my line of work. I really hate it as what they say are obviously false and tend to destroy ones reputation. Well, I feel sorry for this kind of people and I usually get away from them. I find them insecure and in most cases, they usually does not have anything to show or lack the knowledge to do so. This is perhaps they tend to tell this gossips so and so to make them look good since they will be destroying other people.

you can call those people as a backstabber.. they do annoying, always talk negative about others. me myself prefer face to face talk to the fella who i dislike. i prefer frontal assault compare to ambush hehe..

Eavesdropping is when someone listens secretly when there are people talking. I think you have to check the meaning of eavesdropping. But, I agree with you on the negativity and vileness of gossips.

Eavesdropping..listening with an intent, and in secret to want to know what is being said. Nosy! I dislike going to the store and people pull out their phones and say "Hello, how's it going?" as loudly as they can for everyone to hear. They go to the counter to pay the cashier with their phone in hand continuing their conversation, rude as can be and expect quality service? I think if people don't want to be heard, then they should go off into a quiet little corner where they can seek some privacy. What makes them think I want to hear their conversation with their best friend, spouse, mother, brother, what have you...I don't. They are rude by imposing their conversation on me. These people need to learn some manners. Yes, this annoys me, so I'm passionate about this issue. Have a good day Devon.

My friend, always remember this one: People that talk behind my back are in the right plce to kiss my a..!

It's never been a good practice, keep away from people like these because they will bring trouble in your life. I don't know what they benefits in doing so, such a bad habit as you describe it. I agree with you to be frank at least in that case any person can defend him/herself in accusations being put into. Keep in mind "don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you".

Sometimes eavesdropping can get you into trouble, I know this from when I was at work, there was this woman who was always eavesdropping and one day she got the wrong end of the stick, she heard something being said, and reported them, trouble is she got the facts wrong and it was her that got reprimanded! I don't like eavesdropping because you might hear something you don't want to hear, sometimes ignorance truly is bliss.

Yes, some things become addiction if they are being followed or practiced too much in life. We should resist doing too much of these practices, and also beware of people who follow such practices too much.

As you have said it's not a good habit. Wanting to know or hear about other peoples activities or behavior can be considered as an invasion of privacy too. And if said to other people it is gossip mongering, spreading personal or private affairs of others, especially those with intimate in nature. The most common victims of these people are those in the movie industry.

Some people who does not have much better things to do resort to this activity. And they just find joy in knowing about somebody else's business. But just wait till you make your own story about them. They'd be like biting your heads off!

I experienced someone who was eavesdropping me and a friend when we were talking. I saw him thru the side of my eyes. I just don't know if he ever spread what he heard from us.

I cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. It seems that life is not complete without destroying the character of a certain person. Good day...

people talk bad about us behind our back are insecure and immature. We have this neighbor who is gossipers and he whole family. They don't have something to do so they just sitting and keep making story about others and lately I am one of their victim. They are just insecure how happy I am..

Eavesdropping is not a good attitude. I won't correct your explanation about this word for I get your point. Although your explanation is more on gossiping, but truly eavesdropping is like gossiping in some point. But for some instances we are into eavesdropping because of some reasons and even if we know that it is bad to eavesdrop, we couldn't correct ourselves. When there is a situation that we heard some people talking about us, we tend to eavesdrop out of curiousity. When we heard some people we know quarreling, we sometimes eavesdrop to have an idea why they are quarreling. Eavesdropping is almost like gossiping but it is done secretly, it is almost like spying for nonsense...

I got new word for this gossip I not like this and I feel if the person wants to tell anything for anyone then they should talk on their face not behind them. You are right this bad habit.
