[speaker001:] Okay. What type of things do you feel would invade your privacy every day?
[speaker002:] Um, huh. Well, I don't like it when, uh, people listen to my phone conversations, like if they're outside my door while I'm talking in my room [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] or when people like look through my things in my bedroom [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah, that's right. That is really an invasion of privacy.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I, I find it very annoying when I've worked all day to come in and my phone to ring constantly, the solicitors, and the carpet cleaning companies and,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Does that happen in your part of the country?
[speaker002:] Yes. Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I, uh,
[speaker002:] Definitely.
[speaker001:] I come home and I am trying to get a few things done and I can't do anything but answer the telephone.
[speaker002:] Right [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Some evenings are worse than others, but I wish I could put a stop to it, but I don't know what to do to stop it.
[speaker002:] Right. Even, uh, we used to have a sign on our door that said no soliciting, and they would still come to our door
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and knock and [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] They would think it didn't mean them, I guess.
[speaker002:] I guess not, no.
[speaker001:] Everybody but me [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh, goodness. Are you stil-, do you live at home with your parents?
[speaker002:] Yes. Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] So your privacy is invaded probably by other members of the family.
[speaker002:] Yeah, mostly.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Now what can you do to stop that?
[speaker002:] Oh, I don't know.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, I am used to it now, but [LAUGHTER] sometimes it sort of gets, gets to me but [swallowing] there is not much I can really do.
[speaker001:] No.
[speaker002:] No.
[speaker001:] Just have to live with it, I guess.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Try to remember to respect their privacy, and maybe they will respect yours and,
[speaker002:] Well, I don't know [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I always,
[speaker001:] Do you have brothers?
[speaker002:] Uh, no, yes, I do, but they don't live at home.
[speaker001:] Oh, okay, I was ra-, I had two younger brothers, and they nearly drove me crazy listening to telephone conversations and,
[speaker002:] Oh, I used to do that though [LAUGHTER] because I was the youngest, I would pick up the phone and listen to theirs [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But I,
[speaker001:] I would get in the bathroom and lock the door so maybe they couldn't hear me, and then they would go get on the other extension
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] and I could hear them, but I couldn't get them to hang up, you know.
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] But I stopped doing that a long time ago,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] and they still do it to me.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Even it, in the office I, uh, find that people walk up and, and when you're on a conversation instead of walking off or just making themselves busy, they'll stand there and listen to what you say until you [LAUGHTER] hang up.
[speaker002:] Oh, like, s-, yeah, this lady does that to me at work [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] when I'm taking an order or something, and she'll just sit there and listen [LAUGHTER] like I'm doing something wrong, and she just started and, she is nice but. [Speaking to someone in the background] Okay. But, you know, [LAUGHTER] it gets annoying when they stand right over you watching everything you do.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah.
[speaker002:] But, I-,
[speaker001:] Let's see, I can't think of anything else
[speaker002:] No [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] I'd really consider an invasion of privacy other than the phone solicitors. About the only thing that really bothers me I don't have that many people coming to my door.
[speaker002:] Right. Well, occasionally we'll have a person here or there, but not, not as many as the phone calls,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] you know, so. But,
[speaker001:] And I guess that's really th-, the thing that really bugs me the most. I can't think, tha-, our kids in our neighborhood used to bother me, but they've all gotten grown up now
[speaker002:] Uh,
[speaker001:] and we live in a neighborhood where there is not any little kids to bother me,
[speaker002:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] since mine are all grown up, but. What else would be an annoyance? Well, I guess traffic could be an annoyance.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah. Especially when you're in a hurry [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Do you have a lot of traffic in your area?
[speaker002:] Um, it can get busy, yeah. Usually in the week I'm.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Some days it's real, real bad here, and you would like to, [LAUGHTER] feel like it's an invasion of privacy because you can't even ride down the road without people all the way around you,
[speaker002:] Yeah, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know. But,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah, I've traveled quiet a bit, and I've been through Dallas, Texas. It's pretty busy [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It really is, and pretty noisy.
[speaker002:] Yeah [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] It really is.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] I live right on a main thoroughfare, so when I first moved here I probably did consider that an invasion of privacy because it, at first you'd hear a lot of noise, especially at night
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, when you go to bed.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] And every time a, a fire truck or anything went down the road, I would wake up, but I guess I have gotten used to it because I don't even hear it anymore.
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, I suppose you do.
[speaker001:] And, uh, I just close it out, I guess, because I don't, I don't remember waking up in several years at night when I'd hear a fire truck go by, you know.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. Yeah.
[speaker001:] I think they would probably have to pull into my drive before it bothered me [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah. I am a real solid sleeper though [LAUGHTER] so that probably wouldn't bother me. I'd sleep right through it [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] They would have to chop down the door and get you out, I guess. [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah. It takes a lot.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Let's see. What else is an invasion?
[speaker002:] I had an old boyfriend who looked through my notes one time [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] I was mad because those were mine,
[speaker001:] Well, did you have has name all over them?
[speaker002:] No [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] It was a, a letter from a girlfriend of mine. I, I just, I was upset because those were mine, and, you know, I thought he,
[speaker001:] That was yours. Yeah.
[speaker002:] Right. I thought he would respect me more than that,
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] to look through my things and not trust me, so that was upsetting. I was mad about that and my privacy there.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
