Comments on: Rudeness, silence http://wolfangel.calltherain.net/archives/2006/08/25/rudeness-silence/ this is a wolf angel & it eats the people it's supposed to help. A wolf angel is not a good angel to have looking out for you.

If I am in my kitchen (where I am) and I'm typing an entry on my blog or a comment to you (which I am ;)) and my husband walks in the kitchen from the back yard where he has been doing whatever for a while, and he begins to talk to me, it's an interruption of the activity I was engaged in prior to his arrival. It's just rude. (BTW, he rarely but occasionally do this and a mumble or "hmm" withotu looking usually clues him into the fact that I'm preoccupied and not mentally available. With my kids, I have to say stuff like, "Be quiet and let me finish." or "I'm busy. Go away." ;) (Not that I <em>ever</em> would say that, of course. Insert sarcasticv rolling eyes emoticon.)

I HATE that. I barely want to be interrupted enough to say "Hi!" Oh, we must also do the same stuff when someone leaves.
