Personal and probing questions....

This takes all sort of people to make this world. You can always limit her queries within your tolerable limits. :)

believe me I do that all the time, but she is like a road roller, just comes at you no matter what !

there are some people in this world who want to know others personal things and they love to enjoy listening

That's true ! The other day I was already late and in a rush, when my neighbor stopped me and wanted to know who had visited me the previous night, at such a late hour( I had my cousins staying with me) - when I told her, she waned to know if they were still there or had left... normally, I would probably have responded and told her the details, but being in a rush, I got irritated but managed to tell her that they were still at home sleeping... I could see that she was curious and on the verge of asking some more questions, but I told her I was late and left in a hurry.

It can be quite embarrassing or uncomfortable or down right annoying when some people ask very personal questions about us. I have an inquisitive neighbor who wants to know each and every detail about what is happening in our house and it takes all my patience to satisfy her curiosity...

Yes,some neighbor have this type of tendancy to know each and every thing of our house.I too get annoyed sometimes.We just need to ignore.

Yes the best thing to do would be -to try and ignore or be vague in your response without revealing all the details and also taking care not to hurt the feeling of the person since you see and interact with them on a daily basis..

Yes,we should try to ignore them and not to talk frequently,when they ask personal question more.

No I won't ignore so nice guys. Rather I shall ask them to call me in and make pakora for me, by the time they cook pakora I shall cook some nice stories for them. Accounts clear. :woohoo: :woohoo:

Yes, I also hate such people..
I think it's most common in villages than towns and cities. People who have a lot of time and who loves gossips.......Let them cook all fun and eat it. I don't have any time to spend on them!!!!!

Yes this is common when some body unknown persons ask about our personal.

She does invite herself into my house often , especially when she is bursting with some news which is usually gossip about someone else in the neighborhood.I do listen to her since I cant be rude to her.She does have some good qualities tooo, so have to overlook this one weakness of her..

I would ask them to invite me to their place and listen to what I have to say. That way they seeing that they have to offer tea coffee every time- will try to avoid me. :)

However annoying those might be,human nature is like that! It is only our tact and a little diplomacy that can help in keeping these elements at bay!

I agree that human nature is one of curiosity about others and wanting to know all there is...Most curious people are quite friendly and would be very glad when you visit them.It is an opportunity for them to exchange more news..

They all form the informal channels of communication, meeting the undesirable curiosity of human minds!

I do not encourage anyone to ask personal questions either about myself or others. Hence, others also do not ask such questions knowing my habit. One of my neighbors, however, often asks questions about activities of my brother, his daughter in law etc. but I always briefly just say- I do not know.

If you ask/ reply to personal questions, others will be encouraged to ask more.

Like or dislike,it has been a very common experience that a chat ultimately veers round to that and one has to shield or open up using his or her discretion!

I only answer as much is necessary in a particular case. Some times we meet people asking too much but they always prove to be no good in the end.

I nowadays don't mingle with the gossip group(neighbours) not much!!!
Earlier I used to spare at least a little time.
Last December when I got net connection I began to search some online jobs and got settled there. Some times they talk as if I am watching some porn videos online, full time in the net...as if I am doing some wrong thing :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
According to those village people internet has this use only. Sometimes their questions, looks......
Oh God!!!
Let them cook their own bread!!!!! I am not going to interfere in their feelings. Isn't it?
I stay away ;) ;) ;)

Gossip is the most dangerous thing which will creates alot of problems.
