How nosey is your workplace?

Facebook has a lot to answer for. I joined recently and was asked by 3 workmates who normally only nod at me when I pass to join up. I ignored the requests, and rightfully so. Maybe other people have a different work culture but where I am, its commonplace to "find out" who is going out with who, is so and so single, where does John live? She doesnt drink much etc etc, very nosy (in my view anyway) people who spend a lot of time gossiping about others around them and if you dont give them all your life i.e Hi Im Mary I am married with 3 kids and I love drinking and romcoms", they start to speculate..

How nosy are your workmates?

Mary would want to cut back on the drinking before someone makes a phonecall for a welfare inspector to call around

Load enough to drown out aul ones moaning at me while I smile and nod at them.

we dont really do the whole "talking" thing. Havent a notion what they're up to at the weekend, and often I dont even know if they're due in or if they have the day off.

My hubby and I have the same sense of humour. Many occassions, I was joking with him on the phone and the guy beside me would be laughing. In fairness, he was very close but he should have at least pretended he could hear nothing!!

FB is for real people you want to keep in touch with, not passers by who nod and wink. Feck 'em, you only share your life with trusted friends and family.

Screw the lot of them. They are only being nosey feckers.

I go to work to make money, not friends.
