It is Gandalfs nature to be a little pushy and straightforward, though I feel that the movie did not portray this very well. I can't really remember how Bilbo reacted to Gandalf, but I do think that he was slightly annoyed, which could be just a hobbit thing, i am unsure. But that is the way JRRT wanted Gandalf to be portrayed, as a strict, straightforward, but very smart and wise old man.

((yay for first post ))

I always thought of Gandalf as very blunt and sometimes grumpy with a temper. (For example, "Fool of a Took! Next time throw yourself in and spare us your stupidity.") The byproduct of grumpy and temper is rudeness. I agree with the others here who said his responsibilities made him less than polite and sweet.

On the other hand, he loves the Shire and hobbits, and is especially fond of Bilbo and Frodo, Sam, Merry & Pippin. After the destruction of the ring, when the weight of the world was off his shoulders, the hobbits noticed him laughing a lot. I'm sure his temperament was much changed after that.

I think..

I don't think gandalf was rude...just a little pushy, and frank. He just gave Bilbo the little nudge that he needed all along. But i guess it was gandalf's fault that he got the ring in the first place. And that how you say Stretched him out. "like butter being spread out over too much bread"
