NANSENSE

Can you answer nosy questions politely ?

Every day we face questions and some of these questions can be nosy and irritating. One way to handle nosy and irritating question is to ignore the question. However; the question may come back to haunt us later. A better way may be to answer the questions politely.

I interviewed some people and I am sharing their answers with you…

1) I am sorry as I feel that your question is too personal and I rather not answer that.

2) I am a little busy right now and it would be great if we can we talk later.

3) You know what I don’t even remember.

4) When I get home I will think about it.

5) That is a personal subject and I choose not to discuss it.

6) Does this have to do anything with our current issue ?

You may want to answer the question politely than ignore the question completely as ignoring the question can completely shutdown the lines of communication with the person and shutting down communication may not be advisable in our collaborative world.
