Are you as nosey as me?!

Lighthearted thread.

I was wondering about this the other day whilst on the tube, seeing people with their suitcases and always want to know where they are travelling to. It has nothing to do with me whatsoever, doesn't impact my life but always wonder....never asked though mind you!

Is there anything you've been curious about and wondered what people are doing, where they are going and why? :)

I’m the nosiest person I know. Can’t understand people who don’t want to watch what neighbours are up to. It’s important! They live amongst us!

I used to work on the checkouts in a supermarket (back when there were no self-service tills) and I loved seeing what everyone had bought, trying to work out what meals they were making etc and working out what sort of person they were based on their shopping.
Before we had closed recycling bags I used to do the same when I walked passed my neighbours open recycling boxes!

Lightheartedly, this thread is giving me paranoia as I am quite self-conscious and often have to tell myself "No-one is looking at you!" Evidently some people are!
We sometimes travel to Manchester on Northern trains and the buzz of conversation in the carriage is really nice. A big contrast to the tube in London where no-one meets anyone's eyes.

I couldn't care any less about other people's business. I wish everyone well but the detail of their lives holds no interest to me at all. Also, means I hope for the same level of disinterest I my life from others so am repeatedly exasperated by my extremely nosey mil who's only topic of conversation is other people.
