Do you eavesdrop? Have you ever been accused of such?

There are several occasions when my fellow teachers would discuss some matters (personal ones) in their cubicles, and in our faculty lounge, the cubicles aren't divided by walls, they're just divided by partitions which makes it easy for the other person in the other cubicle to hear conversations. At one point, I can't help but hear what they were talking about, the problem was one of them got up and went over to my space and told me I shouldn't be eavesdropping at other people's business. I was shocked to hear such a remark, and simply told her that I wasn't and neither was I paying attention to their business. She went on back to her space and was mumbling about something and I couldn't help but be furious that time (so early in the morning at that!)
