Talking in Public

its really not an interesting fact to discuss ones personal problems in the open public.anybody beside you will be annoyed with this,some none find interesting to hear about bad about some one ehom they don't know,so why to speak up in public.

This is one of my pet hates too. At my sons school, there is a table that a lot of mothers sit at. They are sooooooo loud when they talk. They dont care about what they talk about, the language they use or who is around them. Many parents have complained about the group at this table. The school is considering moving this table because they just cant be quiet or personal.

This sort of thing happens a lot at my kids school. It really annoys me and I will try and not to listen, sometimes you can't help it because they will talk so loud. It is quite often the same people that do it too.

It usually doesn't bother me when people discuss their private things in public but there are times when I want to tell them to be quieter about it. It seems like some couples WANT everyone to hear about their problems. When I'm by myself I can't help but listen, but if I'm with others then I can talk to them and tune out the rude people. Neither my husband nor I are loud people, so I'm relatively certain that no one has heard us arguing in public.

I think it is sometimes embarrasing to have to listen to other peoples private stuff. Sometimes I understand that people want to say stuff when in a public place, but do they have to be so loud? It is like the more private the subjekt the louder people talk. I really do not need to listen to other peoples private matters - please talk a bit less loud!

I respect peoples choice to talk in public but to hear people arguing is the one thing that really gets me. I suppose a lot of people don't even know who you are especially if in a large city, but just down your local shopping centre it is really quite rude. I was in a shop with my daughter a few weeks ago and overheard two women talking in really loud voices, I overheard one of them mention a persons name who was a family member of ours, and the story was quite scandleous (well in her own mind anyway), my daughter went up to this lady and said "excuse me do you know the person you are talking about" the woman looked quite guilty and said "no" my daughters reply was "well I do and I would appreciate it if you did not speak about him like that" the women said "well" how would you know anyway" my daughter said "because he is my brother, and I will tell you the real story so that at least you can get your story straight if you are going to gossip about him". The woman then went very red faced and apologized. I suppose she couldn't do much else then.

I feel if people are willing to air their personal problems in public for everyone to see then they should be ready to deal with it. Because people do talk that cant be helped. Personally I dont like to talk about my personal problems sometimes not even to my closet friends let alone to the public.

yea i tend t listen with out hearing to gossip if that makes any sense my ex was a taxi driver you wouldn't believe what people talk in there even when there are other passengers present

It kind of annoys me, but I try not to pay attention. I think these people have the impression that no one is paying attention to their conversations. My pet peeve is when I get certain policyholders in my office who want to talk about their personal issues that have nothing to do with me or the issue they came in to discuss. I had a lady sit at my desk for a half hour one day talking about how she caught her husband cheating on her and she stabbed him in the butt with a fork. Then there was the lady who felt the need to tellme about her 3 year old who wouldn't potty in the toilet becasue she was afraid of the things that were leaving her body, etc... It's my job to act like I care but sometimes I want to look at them and yell "This is an insurance agency!"

Sometimes it does especially when it's too loud and almost everyone can hear it.I just think that people shouldn't talk that loud in public, hey you're not on your living room so keep it low.For those people who talk about other people's life, well their life if pretty boring.

I don't really mind that much and some I may not like hearing but it is their business. I consider it bad manners to talk behind other people's back and mudsling.

I do not like to hear people talking loudly in the public as sometimes they are talking something disgusting ,I just do not want to listen to them, or sometimes when they are talking about some secrets,they talk loudly but at the same time they are staring at you, and it seems like they are sending me a message asking me why I am listening to their conversations. I always try to stay away from someone who talk loudly in the public.

Its most common her in Chennai where i live people talk so loudly in buses and trains.I am a daily commuter in bus to reach office and can hear people never bother to talk even though some of them knew people around them are looking and listening to their talks. It just takes my attention and i turn back to see who that person actually talking and carry on my work i hate to listen to what they talk.Mostly gossips find place in public talkings.

Those people who talk about personal matters in public; either don't know they are discussing these matters out loud, or they are seeking Attention!! I am not an expert in Psychology, but have been reading many books. They may be jealous, not successful, or lack the required discipline to live the life they dream of. So they tend to gossip and talk about others which will make them feel good. Normally, I am so focused at what i am doing to understand what they are talking about - but being aware they are there talking. Few times I ask them to lower they voice; if it disturbs my work, or I start having a Headache!! lol

I don't mind people talking about their personal matter in public... but feel sorry for them that they make their personal stuff so public... I think they don't understand the importance of keeping personal stuff personal...

If what you say is so true about gossip going in one ear and out the other, then why would it bother you when people talk about personal stuff out in public? Just let it go in one ear and out the other. I wouldn't mind it, unless it involves you, I wouldn't worry. Plus there isn't a law on people talking about personal things in public and I'm sure you can't really do much about it. So it's best just to keep on walking and keep your mind on something you enjoy.

Gossip is rampant and it will take more than this post to stamp it out. While we are in a society hellbent on blaming everyone else for our ills then casting aspersions is not going away. He did that, she did this. It's a constant. I've often heard people say I'm not going to gossip anymore, then that's all they hear and are tested as to whether they are drawn into it. And have you noticed people actually love gossip, it's what sells every magazine on the planet and tabloid newspapers are filled with gossip and innuendo. Have you also noticed TV news covers 50% or more gossip than hard hitting current affairs. And whether people do it in public or privately, it's still gossip at the end of the day!

i get really annoyed when people discuss private matters in public, whether it be about them or someone else. my mom tends to do this and i get so angry with her. i just want to keep all private matters...well, private! i don't think it is too hard or is too much to ask.

It's a little odd that they would do that - particularly if they are to do it so loud. I think it's annoying if they are like loud, obnoxious teenagers. I try to get away as fast as I can unless I am in an unusually calm mood.

Sometimes I think it's a little embarrassing to have to hear about other people's private stuff, but for the most part I do try not to listen. I prefer to "tune" certain people out - a habit I learned very quickly with my current partner :P Seriously though, gossips get right on my nerves and I hate listening to people when they start talking about other people behind their backs. Those people really need to get themselves a life and a new hobby for sure!
