Do you read people's calendars and cards?

Certainly not. These things are private.

Definitely not calendars, but I ask if I can look at my family’s Birthday cards and they are happy for me and others to share them.
If they said “No” I wouldn’t.

It could be said that as they are on view they are fair game for reading, but actually NO THEY’RE NOT!

Can you tell this has hit a nerve?!

No I don’t. My mum does though. I hate it, horribly intrusive. But that’s her anyway.

Would read the cards , but not the calendar.

Certainly not.

Definitely not,rude.

Dreadfully rude.

No, I would not either.

I wouldn’t dream of reading them and asked my nosy MIL not to do it in our house many years ago.
She also thought it was OK to snoop in her daughter’s bedroom drawers too, read her private stuff, and then attempt to pass on the info she had found.
My husband told her in no uncertain terms that he didn’t want to hear it.

Absolutely not! And I would not like it if anyone read our calendar too, unless I was not close to the calendar and perhaps a visiting DD asked if I was busy on a particular day at which point I would say 'just check the calendar for me please'.

I wouldn't read other people's cards/calendars - unless invited - either; but I was startled the other day when DS grabbed a birthday card DD had sent me and read it, commenting on the contents..... I was actually too startled to object to this myself at the time... He's 48 now and I've never seen him do that before!!.... BTW I never read their stuff uninvited either.... Privacy is important to me... I would never access DH's mobile/on line messaging uninvited ..... nor would he mine. Time enough to find out "What's Goin' On?" Duff! - Duff!- Duff!= Duff!....when/if the proverbial hits the fan.

No, both are private.

We bin cards after opening/ reading.

I keep dates/events on scraps of paper, can't even find myself and nobody cares in the slightest what we're doing anyway.

I see them as two different things. Cards on display, I feel, are there to be read but not a calendar.

No

No l wouldn't, l think it's the height of nosiness. My sister did though, she said if things were on display they were meant to be read. She read her daughter's (hidden) diary and got in a dreadful state about what her daughter had written about her, served her right.

No, I wouldn’t , although they may be on show I still see it as private.

I know someone who puts fictitious events on her calendar incase people look and say they can see she is free on a certain day for childcare.

when I worked in family support we were told not to read people's cards as it was an invasion of privacy, so I tend not to do it as a rule now
