Yea that's so true about what the actor said in the video.
Hope these deafies will see this video and learn something from it.
 
Well, if you are expecting guests to come over your house, you should turn off your computer and TV's..
Yeah, it would very rude of people to invite you over and then they get on the computer, i cant imagine why would they do that! same thing with people answering phones, if it is not important, they can say they have company and they will call back later.
I hate more than anything in the world when people just drop by, without any warning, we could be heading out of the door but that dont faze them, they just stand on our deck and yak and yak...pisses me off...arrrrggh! That is ultimate rudeness in my book! You ever have people like that?
 
Cheri, I would say yes its rude to use SK or on the puter when you have visitor over. It happened me to maybe few times. I simple ignore it and use my sk while the host use the puter. Other time, the host decided to not use the puter or sk while I was there. We keep each other company.

When I was away to visit my best friend and her family. I put my sk away and focus on them. They are most important people in my life. SK ppl have to wait! They didnt use their puter but did send the few msg on their blackberry few times while I was there. It doesnt bother me. One time, she asked me to watch her son while she goes online to make a phone call or pay bills. I said "sure, I didnt mind." Her son was watching tv or play with me. In a few mins later, she came back from the puter room and play with her son. It doesnt bother me if she or he check the email for a few mins. If its hours and hours, then its bother me.

I would have done the same thing. I had a friend that beegggggeeeddd me to come over and see her so I came to see her and all she did was stay on the computer and I was just staring at the playstation game that was on pause. I was thinking.. my god.. that's so rude and not coming back again til she realize that she shouldn't beg people to come over and visit if she can't leave her computer alone. Now, she doesn't get on the computer often and to find that she has a sk2. I went to see her to make sure she was okay, she was on her sk2 all day long. Everytime I tried to make a conversation she said tell me to wait.. she'd get on her sk, i told her this is it.. I'm not coming back, if you really want to see me, come see me without sk2. She hasn't been to see me since. oh well.. her loss.

You did the right thing. Your friend never came to see you is a real friend. :ugh2: You got that right - her loss!
 
It did happened to me before...whenever I am with friends, they would pay attention to their pagers, but sometime they will just ignore their pagers to chat with me and other people. I think that is rude for people who chats on the pager every seconds

When I am with my family for the family reunion or family get-together, I usually chat on my pager most of times, but not every seconds because most of my family don't sign much only my mom knows mostly signs. And if my neice is there, I ignored my pager so I can play with her.

Yes, I can understand that situation but if you are visiting some deaf friends, They should put their sidekicks and computer away until after you leave. I never experience going over someone's house having to see someone being on computer and sidekick too much until recently. Only one person apologized for ignoring me the other person did not. It seems like this other person is careless about people's feelings.

Well, I would honestly say that from my heart... that it is OUTRIGHT RUDE!!! I was lousy host, and I can't believe this and made huge mistake by not treating my last guest properly. I hope I can make up for this the next time.

It takes a lot of courage to admit your mistakes and apologized. Thank-you! :hug:
 
Just telling your friends if you feel annoy by their action.

If their ":gives:" looks then they are rude friends.

Unfontunaley, its gotta into the deaf cultures where we are going deal with them. Simple as the hearing people talked too loud with cell phones in the public.

It is :gpost: to read what Ad'ers say.

It's about my kids when they were teens at that time they used my computer. They chatted with their friends online while I have a friend or 2 comin' over to visit. It doesn't bother me, really.

I know what you mean. I have my children to share with their friends to online chat or whatever but I do not accept if my children neglect their friends to consider computer...

Sometimes, I have a friend comin' over to visit me, we sit down and I teach her how to use the computer ( basic ). She has one at home, but she is new to it and want to learn how to use it. I sometimes come over to her house and we sit down together as well... and a cup of hot tea & chat while doin' it on her computer. ;)

Yes, we talked about computer... my friend show me something in my computer... sometimes I show my friend something in my computer... but it's short... German atompshere is different if we want to have cup of hot tea or coffee to chat with then go to kitchen or dinning room, not computer room because it's me they come to visit, not computer.

If, it is my " other " friend who wants to talk instead of sittin' down in front of the computer & do things together, we usually go out and have a cup of hot teas elsewhere. Really, it depends on the individual's mood. I am more flexible to meet what they would like to do for fun and pleasure. I don't mind. :)

It's me, my friends come to share their sense of humor, chat with etc..., not computer. I see no problem if there're questions about computer issues when we have problems with computer... help each other... teach how to do that etc...

What everyone here mean is it's rude if you consider your computer to neglect your guest or visitors all the time... that's what we are talking about.

 
Lieblin' : Yeah, I know what this thread is about. I have nothin' to mention about " rude ", because I don't think about it. Am I bein' care-free ? :lol:

You don't think it is rude to be on the computer when you have guests over your house? or having guests use your computer at your house and ignored you? Even if they drive miles and miles away from home or rode on a plane or train to come and visit you? :)
 
Yeah! I think it's extreemly rude when someone checks on computer or pager when I visit or go places with this person!

No it is not rude - I check if there's any new messages in my mobile.
 
if i a friend or guest over i'll ask them if they want to go on the computer or since my computer is in the same room as my tv ( if we're watching a movie or show) i'lll just tell them going to go on the computer for little bit to check my email. But most of the time my family is over ,and i don't go on the computer when my family is over. But yeah i think its rude .. that why i ask my friend(s) if they want to go on the computer for a while together.

I think that it is all right for you to check your emails on your computer awhile your friends are at your place for a few minutes. Perhaps, you could show them your pictures that you photo-ed some places. I don't see nothing wrong with that. ahh, I bet that you want to show them some unusual pictures on the internet. :-o :naughty:
 
Since i might be getting SK.... If so..

I might do the same thing to friends who rude or disrespect that they were here and spend their time on pagers..

I will be prank on them.. lol..

*pager vibres*
--picks up--
*looks at it*
--telling a friend-- Hold on
*open up sk*
--friend looked at me --waiting--
*close sk*
-saying. OH hi.. just joking..
*puts sk in purse*.. not let it bother me lol
