Rude/Disinterested not to ask about holiday.

I love hearing about my friends' adventures! Tell me all about it and show me pictures! It would have to be a VERY dull literally lay-by-the-pool-and-eat-all-inclusive-every-day for me to not be interested in your trip.

Same,but not everyone does. I think its so rude when they cant show a bit of interest tbf.

No sarcasm meant whatsoever, but this astounds me. It’s just so far removed from anything I can grasp. I have a friend like this and I’m just the opposite - I forget people are on holiday, forget where they said they were going straight after they’ve told me and when I see them ag I forget to ask about it.

I’m otherwise a good friend - but holidays bore me.

I do try to remember - I’m not boasting.

Holiday disasters are always interesting though!

I devour the ‘What’s your worst holiday experience?’ Threads on here.😀

Frankly, unless they see some kind of once in a lifetime event, hearing about other people's holidays is usually deadly boring
Boring? Yes I supposed if they go on about their holiday at an AI hotel and all they tell you about is how they used the pools all day long, describe in great detail the buffet and go on about how they drank themselves to oblivion every night.

But people who've been on a discovery holiday in Costa Rica, China or Cambodia, would you describe this as boring?

Women are more likely to enquire, because we are socialised to be polite and show an interest in the minutiae of other people's lives, but honestly, nobody cares, unless you did something very unusual like mountaineering in Colombia or paddling your own canoe down the Sepik River.

If I remember, I’ll ask. If I don’t, I don’t worry about it. I personally find it annoying having to have the same conversation over and over again with people when I get back from holiday so I’m always reasonably pleased when people don’t ask!

Of course it’s not rude. I’m interested in people and if they want to tell me about their holiday, I’m interested and happy to listen, but I can’t remember the ins and outs of everyone’s plans and calendars. I’m probably more likely to ask work colleagues about their holiday (as it’s obvious they’ve been and come back) than anyone else as I just wouldn’t remember.

I think a brief - how was your holiday? And then expect maybe an about a paragraph response from you, maybe the odd follow up question and then that’s it’s. It’s quite dull when people tell you any more than that. But to not even ask at all, not even a very basic “how was your holiday” is a bit unusual/disinterested

I do to

Maybe I’m unusual but I LOVE hearing about people’s holidays! I get excited for them before they go, think about them whilst they’re away having a fantastic time and want to know all about it when they come back 😀

Frankly, unless they see some kind of once in a lifetime event, hearing about other people's holidays is usually deadly boring. Enjoy your holiday, but don't witter on about it.

This is MN, where no one gives a hoot about anyone and you’ll be unreasonable for expecting friends and family to take 3 minutes to show an interest in your life.

In real life, yes it’s rude not to ask a courteous question about a holiday and to ‘glaze over’ if you mention that you had a nice time and briefly talk about it.

Male/female irrespective.

I’d expect a ‘How was your holiday?’
Then a ‘Great thanks.’ Reply.

It depends what your interested in i love hearing about people's holidays mainly for selfish reasons to see if its somewhere I want to go in the future but if you want me to ask about your pet never going to happen im not interested in the slightest I don't want to see pictures I don't want to know what cute or funny thing they did its not just something that interests me.

I would ask, out of politeness. If it was a colleague at work there'd be actual interest from me, as hearing about someone's holiday is more interesting than work chat!

I normally remember that kind of thing, but I know not everyone does, so it wouldn't bother me if I wasn't asked.

I've never considered a male/female divide - I haven't noticed one and I wouldn't expect it more of women than men.

I would only ask it it was somewhere I might like to go, but an AI in Spain??? Nope not a chance.

I’m genuinely not interested in anyone’s holiday. Not being rude at all…other people’s holidays are just not interesting!

I would ask yes however I work with a girl who cant afford hols so I dont bring it up if she with us. Or I keep chat general

Regardless of whether anyone was interested or not, I have raved on about my holiday this year. I’m certain some folk were bored stiff, but I don’t care. It was fucking epic.

People have busy lives. Most people go on holiday in July & August, and if I were to ask in detail about people's holiday, I'd never get any work done.

A quick, "did you have a good time?" is normal.

Depends on the holiday. If it’s a once in a lifetime trip , it’s different to an AI week in spain

I think you’ll be shocked by how many people ask to be polite but genuinely don’t care

It's nice if people remember but I honestly don't mind at all if someone forgets.
