It irks me a lot when somebody close to us being darn nosy. I'm not trying to be rude but if one has different opinions, should one be snooping around somebody's stuff and snickering it at other people? Didn't they have some sense of privacy? Respect? Or ever heard the word "Mind your own business?". Mind me, if I'm just curious, asking is still an option. Whether you're cousins, brothers, sisters or parents, do ask if you're wondering what someone's being up to. Even if you don't expect a straight answer, snooping around IS rude. It's not cool. Oh, I just wrote "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS" in bold letters on my craft toolbox. Neat.

hmm..well, thats your opinion anyway.. yet you can never ever expect other people to have the same stand as yours.. That's why we have the media and all this broadcasting company to mind other people's businesses and lay it right before the public even to the extent of their private lives! Remember the thing "no man is an island"-- its true we are here for others and so are others here for us!
there is still a positive reason behind this snooping thing. having a crush for example, you snoop a lot to that person in order to find out his/her likes and dislikes and others which would really be significant in knowing her/him better right?
but the annoying thing is if that nosy person is just trying to destroy you! and so i have this simple scenario for you to ponder when somebody does wrong to you thru snooping and it really drove you mad don't do the same to him/her, instead kill him with KINDNESS! coz guilty feelings is always the nastier revenge:)
how do you like that??

I get your point but the person I'm dealing with have a heart of stone. I'm not a very soft-hearted person myself but I'm not all at breaking point. Like I said, the person snoop around my things, especially my craft toolbox, which if just have a look and said nothing I would not be here venting hot air about it, but, talk bad about what I'm doing, it just breaks my heart.
No matter who the person is, he/she does not have the right to say such bad words. I have a desirable passion in beading with crystals. After a good deal of money keeping as I don't earn much, I finally get to buy a few sets to start out and who knows I might get lucky and able to sell them for a profit. I don't mind if that person just look at what I'm doing and just take notice or give a remark in front of me. I could not tolerate that the person told my aunt and my younger brother(he's just 8 years old) that what I'm doing is total crap! Do you know what kind of impression that makes? Now my brother think that is crap as well. That kind of judgment isn't fair at all. If I'm doing it badly, would have just told me. Not planting some kind of idea to other peoples mind.

hhmmm.. well, you're in a position anyway to be really mad!
I could somehow understand your situation, but take a second to cool down.. Just a second..
if that's what he thinks of you well you gotta prove him and to your very young brother that you ain't a crap..
ok, just bear this with you.. keep your politeness, even if people around you are rude, not because they are nice but because you are nice!
show them that you are not what they've been thinking of you..
Prove them they are amiss for judging you.
Don't let your temper overtake you..
I believe you are a nice person so show them that!

People will be people. I posted posted an argument about people including you in their life not but a few hours ago. It is true. People either want you in their buisness or they want to be in YOURS. It does suck but it is the way it is. I truely wish it was otherwise.

I believe that it is. No matter how much we vent, they will still be the same snoopy people we know. Oh I hope they'll sour when they read what I wrote on that toolbox, lol. Sometimes hints are so much better workers than saying it. It doesn't mean that I do not care how they feel, but actually I prefer to keep my own business as my own business. How dumb can you be in ethics?
