It is trivial I know ....but I am angry that a friend gave out my mobile number to another without asking or telling me. Just had a big argument with him as I am a private person and only give close friends my number.He thinks he has done NOTHING WRONG. What do you think about this?

He didn't mean to do anything wrong, but passing on your number without first consulting you is a bit inconsiderate.
I think you might be overreacting here. I personally don't think he did anything wrong per se, and the worst he can be accused of is acting without thinking. I doubt very much he had malicious intentions when he passed on your number to someone else.
I think you should calm down and simply ask him not to do it again without first consulting you. It's a simple mistake to make. Be kind.

You`d be surprised how many people give out other peoples phone number without asking first and are then surprised if they get told off. I managed a shop where all my staff was instructed to never give out my number to anyone, no matter who they said they were and guess what, someone still gave it out. Like yourself I was not amused. As for my friends, they also know not to give out my number to anyone without asking and so far it seems to work, but I would not be surprised at all if one day someone would just give it out, and I am totally convinced that person also would think he/she had done nothing wrong. Just have a word with all your friends again and remind them, that should anyone want your number they have to ask you first. Also tell your friends to say that they would take the number of the caller and pass it on to you.

He knows he shouldn't have done it, but probably like yourself thinks it's too trivial to worry about.
You can't turn back the clock, what's done is done. Ask him to think twice before he passes on your personal info again. But at the end of the day don't let this mess up your friendship. You can ignore incoming calls for a while.

You are quite right to be angry as your friend is invading your privacy by telling someone else your number but don't risk losing a friend because of this. Do explain how important this issue is to you and ask him not to do it again. If you are pestered by the person to whom he gave your number then get a new number.

well i think he does a wrong from you because in the first place he disrespects you privacy and you have said that only on close friends you are giving your mobile no. but i think you don't need to be angry to your friend so much because there is still a room for clemency and forgiveness.

I think that he has done something seriously wrong and had no right. But it is nothing really worth to linger over. I know you must be angry because he thinks he has done nothing wrong but hey, you should be thankful you had friends.
I suggest you cool down and phone him up. Just say,"Quit Spreading it for you'll regret it".....
Best of Luck.

i'm with you i don't give out peoples phone numbers unless i have permission, the only exception i make to that is if it is a land line listed in the phone book, i don't blame you for being mad, that was inconsiderate of him and in certain circumstances could be dangerous for a woman, so he is in the wrong, i hope he realizes that and everyone should protect others info unless asked first

i personally would never give a friends phone number out what he did was very wrong but by getting angry with him won't help either try and talk to him about it and explain calmly that you would prefer it if he would atleast make sure it is ok with you first if he is a true friend he will understand

Well, you can tell your friend that he has 'done something wrong'.
He has done something you did not give him permission to do ....which caused you to have your 'Privacy Invaded.'
It does NOT matter whether he cannot see what he has done wrong (which is likely his way of avoiding guilt / responsibility), he did 'Wrong' and is not taking notice of what you are telling him ...Two things he has done wrong.
Do NOT let him off of the hook.
