Does it make you mad when someone takes up all of your time?  

I get irritated when it happens often. If someone drops by once in a while and I am visiting, that is one thing, but I really get irritated when people come over all of the time and I can't get anything I need to do finished as a result. I prefer for people to call before they come over so at least I am warned and can quickly re=plan my afternoon.

I will go crazy if somebody takes up all my time. This happened to me once when I went to Madurai for a visit. We stayed at a hospital and we were giving some donation to the poor people over there. The NGO people who helped us to donate, arranged for a plan. It was like spending the whole days unnecessarily instead of spending 2 hours. I was very annoyed with the plan.

Hi dear
its saying to break some one heart is big SIN
so if it happened to me (it did many time). so i just try to listen it quietly.

Take care

My grandfather does that a lot. I could be working on homework or just reading and he'll come and ask if I want something to eat and then starts talking about some random subject. Sometimes he talks about his childhood and where he grows up and sometimes he talks of how he started his own business. I usually continue what I'm doing but nod and glance at him a few times so he'll know I'm kind of listening. I guess because he's my grandfather it's not too annoying for me.

I have been in this situation once and I had to remained silent just to do not hurt her but at the same time I also wanted her to know that she should stop. She met me after quite a long time so I had to listen to her though. If she was my mate in class then definitely I would have told her to please be silent for some time.

I will not let anyone do that. Not even my best friends who help me when they come to my house. I tell them I´m cleaning the kitchen (or making the bed, or anything) and they help. And if after talking for a while over a cup of coffee I want to be alone ( or play canasta or post at mylot, I tell them byebye, I´ll take a nap now or I have to go to the super. I don´t mind white lies but I need my life. And noone will have her heart broken for that so please don´t feel you are a sinner.
To intrude in such a way as you say is a lack of respect. Don´t let anyone do that. Not even if it´s your mother.
In my country neighbors don´t call upon the other people in the block. It´s not used.

Relax. Take care!!!
