Busy And Busy Bodies, And Emotional Vampires

Green is for envy and jealousy

Some people are emotional Vampires. They drain all your energy.

There are some strangers who chip into your conversation when it has nothing to do with them; bear in mind they have little interest in their own lives, and their lives may well be very boring.

There are some people where I live who pounce on dog walkers…Are you going to pick that shit up? Equally, they pounce on people who dump rubbish in the wrong colour bag or leave rubbish outside someone else’s house.

Another hostility is queue jumping at bus stops.

Do you encounter busybodies? Or curtains twitchers?

This morning, in the post office (Oh, I'm blond, and many are darker here), I was asked for my passport as my ID. I have an ID card from this country, but I am usually taken as a tourist. Oh, the remarks that came out of the blue over that when I asked why a passport. And during Covid, I was told… Go back to your F…ing country! You brought Covid here! Never mind that all airports and ports were closed. My retort was,…Yes, I came illegally on a banana boat with fifty people! Did you? Laughter, of course! Oh did you. Yes! LOL, Busy bodies.

Do you encounter busybodies? Do you take any notice when they chip in? Do you joke or ignore?
