Do you snoop?

I don't get it either, though I once caught a business associate that stopped by my house looking in my medicine cabinet. The look on her face was priceless!

Thankfully, I keep my medicine cabinet organized and there was nothing to gasp in shock at.

No way would I snoop thru anyone's stuff.. However I know some people that would..

I wouldn't dream of opening people's cupboards to see what I could find. When I was a little girl though, I did spend ages in people's bathrooms sniffing pretty bottles of bubble bath and the like, but only if they were on display.

I will look at things that are sitting out. I admit when I was in the restroom at my mother-in-law's house awhile back there was a book sitting on the counter upside down and I turned it over and peeked curious to see what she was reading

. But I haven't opened drawers or gone through cabinets just to see what was there.

Absolutely Not!!! As already stated it is a violation of someone's privacy, of their trust, and extremely rude. I have done a lot of pet sitting for neighbors and the only time I went into any cabinets was while looking for a pan to cook my dinner (one time), and also one time looking for the bag of dog food which the lady forgot to leave out.

No, I never have. But, I must have read the same article or something because before company comes over, I usually organize the medicine cabinet just in case.
My sister had a guy over installing a new window. She caught him going through her medicine cabinet. Said he was looking for an aspirin. Why he had her diaphram in his hand................

I am with Slick and Randi, I don't do it- with the exception of toilet paper...he he he.

I guess I don't find what other people are doing in their home nearly as important as what I am doing. And, I don't have anything to hide, so, I guess other people must not either? OR, maybe I just don't stop to think about it...

Now, I do look at books left out, or magazines. That is interesting and a great conversation peice.

Well, I'll wander around the house looking at things, but I don't shuffle through papers, look in closets or anything. lol

Absolutely No Snooping!

I read a article about this several years ago. In it, they interviewed a woman who got so annoyed with the snooping during parties at her house that she loaded up the medicine cabinet with marbles and waited to see who would be the first to get caught the hard way.

Of course, someone opened it up and was faced with an explosion of marbles on the tile floor that brought everybody running to see what was wrong.

Some people have thought this was mean-spirited of the hostess....

When I worked for the pet sitting agency I would never snoop other than looking at things that were already out such as pictures. However when I was single I would snoop when I would visit the house of someone I was dating. I know it's wrong, but I wanted to know what I was getting into! I've never gone as far as to open up cabinets but I do keep a watchful eye and look at everything around me.

**CathyBogart** · 03-17-2006, 01:57 PM

Nope, I don't snoop, unless you count looking through the photo album of her dog that the lady I'm pet-sitting for leaves out.

I HAVE snooped through DBF's things before, but I ALWAYS told him when I did. Usually it was just because...well, we live together, I get bored at home, so I flipped through his old notebooks. Most of them are anatomy and physiology stuff anyways. -_-

I would never look in someone's cupboards, but I would look throughout some of their rooms just to see what they were like. People have done it in my house, and I've had people say that my family must be really posh when they see our living room! But it's not that special, my mum just has a good eye for what goes with what

. But I think sometimes you can tell the personality of someone by the colours they use in their rooms.

**lv4dogs** · 03-17-2006, 02:04 PM

I never do that, at least not for the sake of just being snoopy/nosey. Like others have mentioned if I know someone well I will just open a cupboard or the like to get something I need and I will look at the pics on the walls, knick knacks on shelves etc... but I don't open anything up just to poke around.

I try my best to live by my motto "do onto others as you would want done unto you"
