Gossip

[lmt09]

Do you gossip about others?
If you hear someone talking about someone who isn't around, do you ignore it, gossip too, and/or tell the person being gossiped about what you heard?

People gossip at my job all the time. I think it's pretty rude for people to talk behind others' backs, though it can be entertaining to listen to at times. I don't join in, but I don't spread the gossip either.
Just curious what other people do with gossip...

I just ignore it all together because I don't want nothing to do with it. I rather stay home with my puppy and ignore the rest of the world as much as possible

Talk is cheap, however I wont say anything behind someones back and not say it to their face too...when it gets juicy tho I may listen ya never know ya might learn something hehe

I NEVER repeat Gossip.   So listen close the first time. 



You know who, brought a you know what, in you know where, and now you know who is claiming it is not politically motivated!
Come on! Of course it is politically motivated. You know who is going to make a run for the you know what in you know where.

[The sad part about gossip is that no one will trust you with their secrets if you do that. I am privy to the confidences of my friends because I know how to keep my mouth shut. Remember that, don't gossip, the relationship you save may be your own. /quote]

I may listen, but most of the time ignore it.  I do not spread gossip.

Sometimes I happen to just over hear it, and I just keep on moving. And other times I may just see what all the talk is about but I don't spread it.

i've got better things to do with my time.  i don't know if i feel sorry for those who do or if i resent them.

No I don't pay them no mind.  My grandmother use to call a gossip "Oh thee of little minds".  I have always felt that if a person is the type to gossip they aren't worth bothering with b/c you never know what they are saying behind your own back when your not present.  I look at it this way either you will like me or you want take it or leave it.         Have great day!!

Very true.

I don't gossip and I hate it when other people do it.  No body on this earth is perfect so what human is qualified to judge others.

i think gossiping is rude in general.

but as a human being, i admit that i sometimes do it
MOST people gossip from time to time without even thinking about it..
