Why on earth should you fuss over every detail of everyone else's life? To me that's being plain nosy!

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

I guess I can be bit of a fuss pot I get pulled up occasionally when my husband says does it really matter ? usually when I am worrying I haven't got the right loo roll or the right shade of wool or something. But you take me as I am or leave me I don't much mind because it's me and I don't even want to change so it's how I am.

I have no desire whatsoever to fuss over anyone else's life and can't understand why anyone would in the first place. Let them do what they want - it's no skin off my nose.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

I'm probably a mixed bag of tricks. Some things matter, and I'll fuss about them, but other things I probably should take notice of, I'm barely bothered about at all.
I don't get too involved in other people's lives, but I would try and make time to listen if they came to me with a worry.

Is it just me? Life's too bliddy short.
Can't say I agree with you. People who 'fuss' have a grip on life: they care; might be about 'crap', but at least they 'feel'. Me? I struggle to care about sod all. Bet there are loads like me. You either find something to be passionate about or jump into an early grave.

Makes no diff (booze) as this stuff is on my mind all the time.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

Must be different types of fussing I don't quiz people like that I like to fuss and make sure things are just right for them, make their lives easy as I can. That's why I am a decent cleaner I think I fuss to the point they hardly have to lift a finger.
I am more likely to be asking can I get them something, can I do something to help etc where they go is their business.
