Do you consider this rude or not?

Do you consider it rude when you're a guest and your host is on computer or sidekick too much while you're staying at their home or going out in public with them?



I do consider that rude because computers and sidekicks are there after the guests leave your home, It's not going anywhere. I believe that guests should be getting full attention than putting all the attention on computer or sidekick, Of course I understand if people use their sidekick in case of emergency. But, too much? That's outraged.

Yeah its very unrespect and very rude when guest come to visit. I know some people who don't give crap about visitor, and always been on computer and distract us. Even they don't care about their own kids. Thats hardest to see that. I never igrone my own kids if they wants me something. I always walk away from computer and must have time for them. With SK, unless something is up or important converstation which won't be stick on all day, but i notice alots people in deaf events, they re too way focus on SK, lol. Well, I think we should respect to pay the visitors to be company and enjoy with them.

well im kind of split on this.


sometimes when i got over to my friend Panchos house, i just go over there to hang out, and sometimes he's on the computer and i just watch tv, i dont really care.

but if i come over there to like hang out with him and wanted to do something with him and all he did was use the computer, yeah i think it would be rude.

Yeah, I consider it to be cruel/rude..

 

[Soonersseth]

I'm the same way, When my boys want something I get off my ass and get them what they need, Like if it's time for breakfast I feed them first before going on line, If it's time to lunch I get up and make them lunch, If it's time for dinner I get off line. During school weeks after school, I get off line help them with homework and make dinner. Sometimes we do something special over the weekend, like play a game board, going to the park, going over my family's house. etc.

Same way as me as far as I am concern that my son needs me for alot of reasons. Also for out going ot eat, I only have sk2 for emergency only not chatting.. The big problems is that when my son beg me to allow him to play games on computer I have to tell him to use his in bedroom or others.

 

[highlands]

Yes, it's rude.. but sometimes I say to guests like 'welcome to our home' and stay with them for a few seconds and then go to my room.. My parents take care of guests.. In addition, Because I cannot understand conversations of hearing people good enough to particapate in, it gets annoying to me !!!

 

[Cheri]

but i notice alots people in deaf events, they re too way focus on SK, lol.

Oh I know! Grrr I hate that, It's like is that more important than talking to me? I'm here. It's so annoying. I did tell those who kept on typing their way on computer and sidekick that they're using it way too much. It make you feel like you don't wanna hang out with those people anymore. Do you feel that way too?

I give you two thumbs SherryCherish You got ten out of ten

Of course I consider it very rude and same goes with a visitor. I have this friend who sometimes come over my home to visit me and my family and he would stick his head into his sidekick to chat with his other friends. Why would he come over to visit us but instead he " visit" his other friends on his sidekick? Some people just don't know how to show manners :roll:

I agree with you, AJ. In this day and age, computers are apart of people's lives as entertainment. I think you pointed out the distinction quite well, though. If you go to someone's house to hang out, and you're both doing your own thing, that's one thing. However, if you go over someone's house to be with them, then it would be considered rude to be on the computer while your guest is there.

My white Aunt asked me who is in charge of the house. And I joked the puppy Britney is in charge of the house.

She asked me that question because I always try to tell my mom that I don't want guests in the house. And my mom said she is in charge of the house and she can invite anybody to her house.

But everytime the guests come over, they bother me. And I would be on the computer or SK, and my mom said I am being rude for not speaking or saying hello to the guests.

My mom wanted me to stop dressing tacky in front of her guests. And sometimes her guests keep giving mr hugs and bothering me. And also my nephew's little cousin don't want to play with him but rather play with me by throwing pillows at me, while I am on computer or SK.

I was yelling at the young guest and told other guests to leave me alone, because I didn't invite them, my mom did.

We are all part of society ...so wouldn't it be good to realize that we should respect to and treat well other people? .... :roll:

I have sk2 with me all the time, except in bed or shower. I rarely turn on aims on my sk2 unless if my husband is on computer and someone paged me that needed to talk to me that minute. That's then I turn on my pager aims. The reason why I have pager on me is because of emergency or if someone wants to tell me something, but I don't normally spend a LOT of time typing on sk2. When I have company or when I am visiting someone, if someone pages me, I will answer short message and let them know what I'm doing, that I will get back to them later. That way, I can take my time to visit people. When my kids needs me I sometime don't even answer my pager until my kids needs are taken care of, like cooking, doing homework with them, etc. If too many people page me at a bad time, I just turn off my pager. Every night when I go to bed, I turn off my pager until I wake up in the morning. That way, I don't think about checking my pager til I'm done sleeping. Cheri, I agree with you that it is considered rude when you are someone's guest and that person stays glued on computer and/or on pager just chatting for loooong time. I would want to have fun with friends or guests first.

Yeah I agree, When I have guests at my house I give them full attention unless they are napping that's when I use my computer, but if they are not napping, I would make an arrangements for us to have fun for the day like go out to dinner, rent movies, etc.


Thanks all for your opinions on this.

But those guests and family members, they talked to me like I am a child and think I am retarded. And they be surprised that I can cook. They know I can't hear them well and communication is not going well.

That's rude, Sorry! When my son invite his friend over to spend the night or hang out, I treat his friend as a guest to our home, I feed his friend the same time my sons are being fed, I give his friend treats the same way as my boys. I make sure his friend is comfortable when sleeping over, with a pillow and blanket and a bedding. That's how you treat all guests, doesn't matter who invites them.

That could happen. I consider that they are so rude, and they see you as a pet or a 2nd class - a low society which is not important person. i.e. In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive or take off their mask when it is too hot in the summer. For kids, it is not a big deal, and they need to have some fun at your place.
