Bill is right. Your brother is the one being RUDE. Why does he think he can IMPOSE on you all the time, without your PERMISSION, and continually talk? Why does he think that you WANT to listen to his endless talking?

If he calls on the phone, just don't pick it up when he calls. And if he comes to "visit" just don't open the door when he shows up! So what if he knows you're there - you STILL don't have to open the door.

If he lives with you, that's another problem. If he starts in, just stop him and say "I'm sorry but I just don't have time to listen" and walk out of the room. Keep doing that until he gets the idea.

It might be a little rude, but he's being even more rude by continually making you listen to "stuff." Best of luck! Hugs, Lee
