You ever notice how there are always those people who just can't resist being nosy? I mean, seriously, it's like they have a sixth sense for sniffing out other people's business. They should come with a warning label: "Caution, may cause sudden and involuntary eavesdropping."
I was on the bus the other day, and this lady sitting behind me was so nosy, I thought she was auditioning for the role of the town gossip. She was leaning in, trying to catch every word of my conversation. I finally turned around and said, "Hey, if you're that interested, I can start charging admission!"
And you know what the worst part is? These nosy people always act surprised when you catch them eavesdropping. Like, "Oh, I was just admiring the acoustics of this bus, you know?" Yeah, right. Acoustics my foot! It's not Carnegie Hall; it's public transportation!
We all have that one co-worker who thinks their job description includes monitoring everyone else's computer screen. I've got this guy who sits across from me, and I swear he's got binocular vision when it comes to my monitor. If snooping was an Olympic sport, he'd take home the gold.
I decided to mess with him the other day. I opened a document titled "Top-Secret Unicorn Breeding Program" and started typing random things. He was squinting so hard, I thought his eyes might pop out. He finally asked, "What are you working on?" I looked at him deadpan and said, "Oh, just revolutionizing the mythical creature industry. No big deal."
But seriously, if you want to know what's on my screen, how about you get a telescope or, I don't know, respect my personal space? It's like working in an office or auditioning for a reality show called "Survivor: Cubicle Edition.
We all have that one relative who thinks they're the family detective. Mine happens to be Aunt Mildred. She's the type who, at family gatherings, will corner you and ask about your love life, job prospects, and the contents of your last doctor's appointment.
Last Thanksgiving, she took it to a whole new level. She asked me, "When are you planning to settle down?" I said, "Aunt Mildred, I'm still trying to figure out how to fold a fitted sheet. Let's not rush things, okay?" She just nodded and said, "Well, you're not getting any younger." Thanks, Captain Obvious!
I've decided that at the next family reunion, I'm going to bring a flowchart of my life just to make it easier for her. "Here, Aunt Mildred, study this and get back to me with your nosy inquiries. And no, I still don't have a plan for world domination.
I've got these neighbors, right? I swear, they're like the Sherlock Holmes of the suburban world. They know everything that happens on our block before I do. I could probably hire them as my personal investigative reporters.
The other day, I was bringing in groceries, and my neighbor pops up out of nowhere, saying, "I saw you bought a lot of toilet paper. Planning a party?" I'm just standing there with my bags, thinking, "No, I just have a digestive system. But thanks for keeping tabs on my bathroom habits."
And it's not just the questions; it's the judgment that comes with it. Like, why do they care if I have three Amazon packages in one week? Maybe I have a small unicorn addiction, ever think of that? I'm just waiting for the day they install surveillance cameras on my lawn and start live-streaming my life to the neighborhood.
