have you met a person who tries to steal your time?

If you are fond of invitations and cant reject them, then obviously you are killing your time and they are stealing. I have not interested on invitations and rarely go out with someone.... Have a nice time/

Yes I have a friend who likes to steal my time. Whenever she fancies a chat, she expects me to drop everything and attend to her. Of course I don't and I assert myself to her that I have other things to do and that I am prepared to give her some of my spare time, but not all of it.

If by steal you me waste, then yes I have meant many of people who have done that. There have been a lot of people who have talked to me about the most inane things or things that they should have really known in the first place. It rather sticks badly when people do this. There are people who really should know better about some things but they hold me up and prevent me from doing what I need to do. Needless to say, I try and avoid these people as much as I can. Of course, they seem to be attracted to me for some disturbing reason. I cannot explain it, I'm sure I may or may not have a sign etched in my back that I'm not aware of. A lot of people I guess don't appreciate that time is a valuable commodity and it can be a juggling act to manage everything, without them being thrown into the mix. Some people, its frustrating to say the least.

well from your discussion today, i just realized that I sometimes act as time stealer too. I sometimes go to a friend's house and talk with my friend for the whole afternoon. I just didn't think that she might have some things to be done and because i was at her house she was just forced to entertain me. Same with me, there was one time when i forgot that i had appointment because a friend visited me. That was supposed to be important but it was wasted because of that. So from now on i see to it that i could get away from time stealers whenever i have important appointments.

I have met some of them but I always find a way to get out of there. It is like killing your time by talking. I hate talking for hours, it makes me sick. Instead I love playing games and do some research on the topic that interest me.

yes as they said time is gold, so whenever you waste your time, it's like your wasting gold right? lol! well i think what you do is enjoy, so if you enjoy doing something with friends, it cannot be called wasting of time or you're friend is stealing you time. i think they make your time worthwhile because of enjoyment.
