private or offensive

[wareagle69]

funny how people are today too dang nosy for my likes or maybe its that whole entitlement thing again but when i bought my homestead last year and my routine changed people picked up on it so i would tell them i moved out of town, i would tell them i moved to whoville. oh yeah theyd say which road really none of thhere who buissness i'd think to myself and if i told them who rd they would want to know where at on who rd, now really i barely know you and its none of you f ing buisness even if you say politley then get offended, now supposedly that is how you get to know people by sharing info about yourself but in my opinion you should mind your own buisness, i'm of half a mind(here come the jokes) to say how much money ya got in the bank how bigs your johnson or hows your wife (you see where that ones headed) maybe this falls under the friendship thread again, but what happened to respecting peoples privacy without thinking them rude(not that i care). ok so give me your take on this my pack mates( and oh yeah tell me where ya live)

I live in america, people are inquisitive until thier questions lead to them doing something for you. For instance... when someone asks me questions I hand them something to carry or I'll give them a 5 min. lecture on how i need them to loan me that $50.00 or i ask them to come by the house so that we can "talk" about it while they help me dig irrigation lines for free. (Gets rid of them every time!)

Lots of people actually think they are being nice by showing an interest in where you live. They wouldn't visit on a bet. Some would so I am always vague to the point they don't think I can find my own way home. If they don't shut up then you tell them you moved to get away from everybody and what they think about you don't hurt. Remember the old saying You Can't Fix Stupid and ignore them.

well that brings up another point people asking how my weekend was or how was your christmas, whats it to you i wonder, i think they just want me to ask how there weekend was and i truely don't care if you had a great christmas or a bad one i don't know why i am that way or how to change it even if i wanted to, i don't care what people think of me, i don't need there help, i have moved countless times by myself a good dolly and some will power, ah heck whatever i'm heading to the bush for the day

I think that these are just ways for people to engage/start a conversation other than the weather.

Like me in another thread asking how Norm was, it was an interest.

Just being social, I guess...just like I wouldn't have met my wife if I hadn't introduced myself to her. I was lucky a fine woman

[crashdive123]

Just kind of finding a common thread in order to pursue a more relevant relationship.

Wow, WE, I ask BJ at work how his weekend is every Monday, also ask a few others. But then, I am generally interested. That is just how I am.

It is kind of funny though as I do know what you are saying. You can ask the same question many diff. ways and get many diff. responses, by the same person. I have found that if you act and are genuinely interested, people just love to talk.

"Ain't the first time l protected
my head in such a way."


WE, ya sound like a good guy, here is a conversation between WE and FVR.


FVR- Glad you stopped by today, you've been here before, go grab a beer, you know where the fridge is.

WE- Thanks.

FVR- My wife mentioned that your wife said that you would be moving next week. You need a hand, I've got a trailer and my back is feeling good.

WE- No thanks.

FVR- Sounds good, if you do find out ya need a hand, just yell.

WE- Okay.

FVR- Man of a few words, help yourself to another beer. Hear there is a good hockey game on, ya game.

WE- Yeh.


Two hours later after the game is over.

FVR- WE, it's late, I have alot of work tommorrow, go the hell home.

WE- FVR, ye arsehole. May just take ya up on the moving.

FVR- Good.









Erunk,

remy ya wanna hear my heart beat use a stethascope other than that bugger the f off

[wareagle69]

And you do it to all of us constantly...with your approach.
In fact, you talk more about yourself in many ways than anyone on this forum...but you know that yes ?[/QUOTE]

that you are probably correct on doc, but then again i could be full of it and just deflecting everything in another direction to throw off the government spies here(opps here comes the school bus gotta go)

[trax]

People can ask whatever they want, it's up to me what I'm willing to tell them. I always get a kick out of it actually when someone says "can I ask you a personal question?" I'll say "yeah, but I might not answer" and usually I don't.

Why I like the bush, so few humans around out there.

[nell67]

TRAAAAX? Can I ask you a personal question?

[trax]

Yeah, but if you ask in a public forum I won't answer.

[Sarge47]

When I meet someone I know I ask "How ya doin'?" or "Wut up?" (depending on their age) out of habit. We have a staff member who likes to mess with our heads & has a good sense of humor. He's in his mid-50's & heavy-set, & his stock answer is: "Not bad for an old fat man."

Both ignorance & apathy seem to have taken over our country. When someone took a survey to ascertain if this was true the largest percentage answered: "I don't know & I don't care!"

Anyway, if you don't want people to know answer with a funny response, & it sounds like you already did! (Whoville?)

Here's some "tried & true" question stoppers:

1.) "Why you askin'? You writin" a book?" (If they say "Yes") "When did YOU learn how to write?"

2.) "I'm movin' to a new area where the government is relocating all of the axe-murders, serial killers, & psycho-paths. Guess they got room for one more. Wanna come over?"

Okay, Who's got some more?

I think we have talked about this before...
What would happen if i revealed certain informations about myself ?
OK, my mail carrier or the cashier at my favorite supermarket might change the opinion he has of me...
But because my past represents nothing, i can reveal anything and everything since nothing is important to me...those things are only forms, and forms only make sense if you are attached to them.
What makes your personal history are not the facts themselves but your bond with them...and i have no bond.

Our personal history creates our personality....[/QUOTE]

[wareagle69]

remy for me personally i got more out of that post than any of your others, but probably beacuse it was more personalhence the irony you spoke of.

[crashdive123]

He's shmart....very, very shmart.

I think there is something wrong with my computer, I understood what Remy posted. Nice post Remy. And I understood all most all of the words, and only read it once.

WE - It's all part of the social interaction. It's a lot more civilized than walking up and sniffing your butt, which is what dogs do to say hello. I doubt very many (if any) of those folks really care where on Who Rd you live. They are just trying to be polite and feign an interest in your well being. (sniff) (sniff) By the way, have you been eating field mice again?

I think dogs just want to know what you had for dinner yesterday...and are there any left overs.

Hey WE, I live in Peters Creek. Mine is the house across the street from the lady with 2 horses, 2 donkeys and 4 very large dogs. Being as there are three houses across from her. Mine is the one in the middle. On my left is the couple with the Great Dane, on the right are the military couple with the psychotic Boxer dog. By the way, if you come over and I'm not home and you see a guy in the back digging up my fence. Don't approach him. He is brain damaged and thinks my fence in on his property. Just stay back and call the police. They are familiar with him. The back door is unlocked so just go on in and make yourself at home, I'll be home before long. If the little white dog wont stop jumping up on you just throw him out back with the big dog.

Your friend, Kevin...,
