Socks Keep Your Feet's Privacy Intact
Your privacy is important so here are some privacy statements

    Any information you send me (words, pictures, videos or anything) could potentially end up on here. It might possibly be made fun of as well. I will however not put who said/made whatever it happens to be however if you specifically tell me not to, and possibly won't anyway unless you tell me you do want credit. If you do, just tell me. And please, no hard feelings about making fun of the stuff... just having fun, and hopefully not being too insulting or anything, and I don't mind you doing the same to me. Just let me know if you think I am going too far, and either I'll argue with you that I'm not, or change stuff a bit accordingly. If you sent me a flash or image or something that's original and potentially going to be turned into something special, and you don't want it here, let me know just in case. If it parodies anything of mine though I'll probably put it up anyway.
    Enough of that though, time to get what you really came here for.


    We all need a little privacy now and then. Like in the bedroom. If the door's shut, you should knock. It's probably closed for a reason... I might be naked in there or something. Actually... I potentially could be standing there naked behind any door if it's shut. SO basically if the door's closed, knock.
    When someone's on the phone too, they sometimes want their privacy. If someone ducks away or tells/motions you to quiet down, then you probably shouldn't keep following them around and being noisy at them.
    Private conversations should be respected too. When someone has to leave the room to talk with somebody, don't try to barge in on them for no good reason. And you probably shouldn't hold cups up to the door/walls to listen in either; unless there's a really good reason to do it, or if it's funny at the time.
    Privacy in the shower is pretty important too. After all, you're completely naked in there. Ever had someone walk in to use the bathroom while you're showering? There's some blatant disrespect of privacy as well. Until they leave your stuck there wondering if out of nowhere they're might just whip the curtain open, and after they leave you have to worry about if the door's open or closed. And then there's the whole smell issue if they went in for a dump, or if the plumbing's not separate you might get a cold burst when they flush.
    Oh yeah, someone might need their privacy when wrapping up presents too. You should respect someone's privacy when they're doing that. You might feel the need to know what the presents are... but come on, have some respect! You could at least be sneaky and look at them after the wrapper is done and feels like they've successfully hidden it away, or while they're not around before it's wrapped or something.
    Here's an important one! When your in the bathroom evacuating your bowels. Especially when you're sick and are farting really loud while you're at it. Of course someone not respecting you privacy sometimes has to ruin everything by trying to have a conversation with you. When they start talking you feel like you have to hold everything until they leave. But sometimes they just keep talking and its just plain horrible, so then you just try to be a quiet as you can. Sometimes you almost wish you could just let out such a huge fart right then that it'd shut them right up in shock, but that'd be pretty embarrassing for you too! So people, if someone's in the bathroom, respect their privacy and don't try to hold a conversation with them. Try not to just stand around the bathroom too, because that's still annoying... unless there's like a lineup and there's no choice, then I guess you really can't help it.


    Another important thing about privacy is that you shouldn't make it easy for others to invade your privacy if you want any.
    Like lounging around the house naked all the time. There's not necessarily anything wrong with lounging around naked in your own house or room, but if you don't want people seeing you like that, then don't be hanging around open windows or leaving doors open. If you do want them to see you naked I suppose this doesn't really apply, but if you value your privacy, protect it for goodness sake!
    If you have a diary or journal or something like that that you want kept private, don't go leaving it open or just sitting there in the open out of your room. I mean, that's basically just like asking someone to read it.
    When you're in the bathroom or shower you should keep the door shut too, and locked preferably. If its open, someone might just walk on you, and you can't really blame them for that now can you?
    When your on the phone too! If you want the call to be private, don't be talking all loud so everyone can hear, and you probably shouldn't be having private conversations in rooms with other people anyway. Honestly, what do you expect everyone to do... enter a state of meditation where the outside world is blocked to them, or shove silly putty down their ear canals? Talk quietly and go away, or expect yourself, and possibly the other person on the line to be heard.

    Well that's all I have to say about privacy for now. Just remember, respect other people's privacy and protect your own!
