If you saw someone’s DIARY left open, do you read, close or ignore it?

I would ignore it because its personal. I would not want anyone to read my diary so why would I read someone’s diary. That would be invasion of their privacy and that would be disrespect on my side

I would most likely walk by it without a care in the world that it was “opened” in clear sight… someone may be trying to “catch” you to see how truthful and honest you are…

I would ignore it that ever they wrote in their diary is their business and no one’s else.

I would most likely ignore it.

Close it and hand. That is personal . You should always respect others privacy.

I think it depends on the person, and situation. But, more than likely I would respect someone’s privacy and leave it alone.

This is a very interesting question. As someone who keeps a “ diary “ & what I write inside it to vent , to question, introspection, whatever are all private thoughts until that person decides that they want to share those details. With saying that , I absolutely would not read through someone’s lost diary.

No chance I would read

what is a diary?! 🙂

• not in a million years

99% I wouldn’t read it. Yet, there are always exceptions.. and if I’d see my daughter struggling with something ( teen) and if it’s there- I possibly could of flipped through some pages to just see if there is no harm on horizon.🫣

Hope that you’re well.

I would not only read it, I would upload it online for everyone, just kidding. 🙂

In all seriousness, I would not read it or even contemplate reading it. On a different thought, let’s say it was someone very dear and they were going through a tough time and they committed suicide, by you reading that diary, you could have prevented it, what is the right thing to do? It’s tough as there are so many variables but generally I would not read it.

I would definitely ignore it because I wouldn’t want someone you look at mine

It would depend on the situation I guess! But I am nosey so really I guess it would depend on weather i felt like I had enough time to get away with it or not!

I guess it depends on whose diary it is. Some people make me think I don’t even want to know.

Morally though, it is wrong in my opinion. Thinking about doing it to my nearest and dearest gives me the ick.

If it’s a blog journal and it’s interesting I say why not.

Also if the person is deceased I guess it could be ok depending on what information you hope to aquire. That answer is a rabbit hole of circumstances that I could write a novel about.

I might have a quick glance but then i would feel bad and then close it.

I would leave it just as it is. None of my business.

I would not read it….it is private to someone. I would feel uncomfortable.

Yes sir

I will never open anyone’s personal diary because everyone have their own life and secrets. They have written about their dreams, personal things which i don’t have any right to read. I respect the privacy of every person.

As a writer myself it’s a violation to read someone’s diary therefore I will not read it.
