    I get this problem very quickly and often.

    I just open up neopets and tell the person I'm making "neopoints".

    it depends on who it is,
    siblings push them away,
    friends brag about my skills,
    friends who know who understand what I am doing, ingage in a coverstaion.
    parents, walk away.
    teachers close the lid and run!

    If they try looking at my computer screen I will yell at them then throw stuff at them then follow them and yell some more and keep doing that until they stop. It works so far.

    I usually open up a new window quickly and add an extra blank tab to the current one lol. My parents are so annoying,always bugging me when I'm browsing on the internet. All I have open most of the time is my school or PC and sometimes radomly checking email.

    (While slightly foaming from the mouth), I tell them I am looking at very graphic material, and they will never be the same should they also view it.

    First of all, my parents are nosy and paranoidddddddddddddddd.

    If I said, "Go away," my parents would take away my computer.. So, when they visit, I have planned my escape routes for:

    If it's mom, I click to a boring site with a wall of text (lol, Smogon analysis?) or something like Facebook, Google, etc. I always have some boring site on my tabs, or else I open up Word. As long as there are no images of cartoon characters and I appear to be studying, I am victorious.

    If it's dad, I minimize or log out of MSN. He doesn't care if I am into Pokemon/Anime.

    I don't have that issue anymore as I have my own PC in my room, so I can do my own thing. If someone is looking, I either go to facebook or tell them to simply look away because it is something private and that usually works out.

    Usually I don't care. So I just carry on doing what I was doing.

    But, every so often it annoys me so I stop doing whatever I'm doing and give them the glare of "Get lost" they normally do, unless it is my older brother then we both end up having nudge wars....he still ends up reading my screen. So after the nudge wars I scroll the screen up and down quickly so the text isn't seeable.

    I usually switch to Google. If they still stay, I have to think of some random topic to look up until they leave.

    My house is almost always crowded with undesirables, so I usually resort to clicking a different program or opening up a new tab.

    I usually don't care who walks in on me and what they see me doing. I don't do anything bad, so it's no big deal.​

    I really hate it when anyone tries to look at what I'm doing on the computer. D:< Dunno why, but it bugs me.
    So whenever someone (i.e; nosy parents, hyperactive brother) attempts to sneak a glance at my laptop screen, I automatically open a new blank tab and wait for them to go away. Or, if I'm really desperate, I'll zoom out the page I'm looking at until the text and images are so small that it's impossible to read/see. xD;

    I just open up some work.
    Looking at programming isn't fun.

    Hell, yeah, do that all the time with my Tech teachers... until they got Synchroneyes (Software that tracks what you do over the internet) :(

    So when its not with my teachers, and its with someone from my family, I basically tell them to GTFO, depending on who it is.
