It’s nunya

Some government people were having a census yesterday. When the census lady came to my shop, she was really upset (and it was kinda awkward). She started asking questions about how many family members live in my house, stuff like that then out of the blue she ‘gossiped’ about my neighbor. She said that my neighbor already has seven kids and is now two months pregnant. And that the wife’s name is A but the husband has a tattoo of another girl’s name on his chest. And how unkempt their house is. And how the couple got pissed off when she commented on how their family is getting bigger and bigger. And I was like, who wouldn’t get pissed off when it’s nunya. None of your business. Of course I said it politely, she wouldn’t even hint the sarcasm in my voice. I planned to offer her a drink but I changed my mind. I know she would gossip about me in the next house. What a character for someone working for the government! I’m ranting and I’m sorry. Have you experienced anything like this from a government worker?

It's okay... Sometimes something bothers us and we need an outlet. It doesn't hurt anyone here and nobody minds.

Oh that's bad. Not cool of her to be a gossip monger on the job. Then again my late neighbor was like that . . . she gossiped about everyone and she wasn't even working .

Yes, when trying to set up some services for my first husband when he was ill and dying. The social worker had me in tears. I am with you, this is not the character you would expect in a government employee.

@sol_cee In some countries the public service is not really great. I know that in Italy it's useless to complain.

Very unprofessional. But maybe the worker was just having a bad day and needed to vent a little. Just like you did by writing this discussion. I do try giving people the benefit of doubt until they prove otherwise.

There are many like her in the government's services. They are not aware that we, the people, are paying their salaries through our high taxes. They even treat other people as beggars. Once, I was irked at one for being rude and I said bluntly. "Stop being rude to people, don't you know that it is these same people who pay for your salary?" and she zipped her mouth shut. Maybe because she realized the truth of my statement.

Some are prone to gossiping. It is not easy for them to turn the corner. However, government employees should know better!

Inappropriate and unprofessional. Kudos to you for being the professional one and respecting your neighbor's privacy. Although I'm not that surprised. In terms of the lack of professionalism, I've seen it happen many times from government employees.
