Oh, so true. A couple ex cow orkers, who I liked in most ways, would tell me things they had no business telling me. A smile and a nod and a cursory response, and I would walk away thinking "is it my turn now?"
I also believe in keeping people's secrets: if someone tells me something it won't go further, and I would hear these people telling me something they hadn't just heard out of nosiness, but had been told IN CONFIDENCE.
I don't get it. It's just so low!
There have been times when I say "no, don't tell me, that's none of my business." Some folks are notorious, like it's a sickness, at doing this.
