Nosiness and gossiping seem to go together, some people find power in knowing something that others don’t know.
All of us have information that we don’t feel comfortable sharing with others, nosy people just don’t get the hint and keep trying to pry information out of you. Some folks like to ask really personal questions about who are you dating, are you a virgin or even how much money do you earn.
You don’t have to reveal the personal details of your life to the office gossip or your family, you have the right to set some personal boundaries and keep parts of your life private.
If someone in your life crosses the line too many times, and won’t keep their nose out of your business here are a few sarcastic zingers. Maybe you will get lucky and they will mind their own business!
