hey friends, has someone ever taken up a great deal of your time and just keep quite because you don't want to hurt their feelings? This happens to be on occasions and even presently this is happening to me. I know that I should stand up more for myself and not allow my time to be used up inappropriately but I seem to have a hard time putting my foot down. What about you? Do you just keep your mouth shut and try to be polite when someone is wasting your time? Like wow, I could have been mylotting or doing some other worthwhile endeavor if all of my time hadn't be used up?? talk to me you guys!angry I'm really kind of pissed right now!angry

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.

Hey there lynnemghappy, I know just what you mean, when people come barging in on you unannounced it's enough to make you want to pull your hair right out of your head. Or even their head for that matter, lols. Anyhow I been there before and believe me, it's not a good situation to be in. All I can say is be slow to open your door, Happy mylot and thanks for your response! C ya around...ttyl...Smiles!

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.

Hello Daliaj, oh I can't blame you not one little bit, i would have been so pissed off too if somebody would have used up all of my time like that. Especially if it's an event that takes a whole day and it should have only taken like two hours??? I would have been around there ready to go off on somebody, I'm so serious about this. Anyhow it's so hard for me when my patience is being tested. Hope you are better with it than I am, take care and I will see you around. winkyawn Please be sure to add me as a friend if you havnen't already done so. Take care and have a great day and stay way from that Madurai placwink. Hee hee hee!

Yes at times yes, especially when I have got important things to do with my precious time. Most of the time people who take up all your time are those that are full of nonsense and above all selfish. Much more, whilst talking they want to do all the talking and you're suppose to just stand there and listen to their crappy work.

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 sinnerlolw00t.
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!!!

I was going to the library, one time because I want to hurry up, and get on the computer because the computers, fill up fast and then yuou have to wait, two hours until the person finishes, using it, then this man stop me and what to talk about the bible, and I stopped and talked to him, but I was in a hurry, after he finished talking and I left, I said I will never let that happen again, this really made me angery. sadthumbdown
