guys, if your not comfortable with MM’s “NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” then you can change it to….”i’d rather keep it private, please”….straight and firm. Yun. Nobody does it better but, the MAIN MAN (MM)himself…basta para safe tayong lahat don’t give out personal infos.

Saying “none of your business” does not have to be assumed to be “rude” and “offensive.” It’s how you say it, and even then, that is irrelevant in the context of the discussion of privacy.

It seems a little bit rude to tell the receptionist to tell her its ” none of her business”, after all she is just doing her job. We expect service personnel’s to be respectful at all times in return we must do the same thing. A simple, ” Thank you, i prefer to keep my address private”. Remember, it does not cost us anything to be nice or polite. “What goes around comes around”. Peace, and have a nice holiday everyone!

hello, mm…
first time on this site…liked the exchange..very stimulating…hehehe…now, my two cents worth…
to joey: yes, i hate sm’s forex rules…iwas busily writing the impt. stuff sa info sheet nila and the line was super haba pa (weekend crowd)…when it was my turn, the lady just put the paper in a small box w/out reading it. after 10 minutes of standing in line, the sm girl just glanced at my dollars and said…sorry, po..we don’t accept 1996 US dollars…DUHHHH!!!

I often go to hotels for business meetings and sometimes, the guards at the parking area ask me “anong gagawin nyo dito?” My response has always been to snap and say “wala na sa ‘yo yan.” I tend to feel a little guilty after. I don’t like it when companies here ask for so much information and I don’t like the way they teach their personnel to pointedly ask questions. Fact is, a lot of people have the tendency to act like “little tyrants;” their lives are miserable so they jump at any chance they get to bully anyone that comes their way. We can always blame the educational system but that is just a part of the issue.

MM, your point of view may very well be NONE OF MY BUSINESS…but I can’t help but think (after reading all the comments and your answers to some comments which are not in league with what you feel and think)…that your irritation to institutions like these may very well be displaced. You wrote in your entry “Position in life and attendant helplessness should not be driven by title or lack of it, but by personal capability, intelligence, self-worth, logic, rational and critical thinking, etcâ€¦.” But let me point out that the reason they are in that position is because that’s about all the intelligence they can muster. If you really want to vent out your frustration and irritation, vent it out to the institution’s head, the people who placed these security guards, clerks and cashiers directly in the line of your fire. Sometimes it’s so easy to put up an attitude to someone lower than your status, but not so easy when you’re really in front of someone who packs an equal amount of punch. Hey just my two cents…

these companies (eg. duty free, SM, etc) actually compile lists, which they can then sell to research companies or marketing services groups that, in turn, either use them for research, consumer profiling or sell them to consumer goods companies (ever wondered how you sometimes get junk mail inviting you to subscribe to this magazine or attend that event?).

that said, why would we want to help them by giving vital information :)

thanks for this post! more people should realize not to blindly fill up information just because.
