ROFL! It's outta stock - y'all bought em all!

Way to go!
Hopefully it worked.

I'm going to tuck this one in the back of my head for when I do have kids...and when my bf asks what's for dinner!

Some people don't know where boundaries are.

It is NONE of her business what you get in boxes. You can nicely, but firmly make it clear that it is none of her business. Simply saying, "It's material for some freelance work I am doing. It's Classified." may end her bullshit.

There are some people who you must lay down firm boundaries with. Say NOTHING when she asks you, don't make conversation, walk away.

It is rude to badger people about their personal business and letting her know you simply won't discuss it is best. I find, when people get nosy for whatever reason, ANY conversation only encourages them. Walk away and say nothing. When you engage her in any conversation about the boxes, she is winning, because she has you on the defensive. Either tell her "It's none of your business." And END it, tell her it's for freelance work, and let her know you will NOT discuss what that work is or say NOTHING and walk away. The next time you see her coming walk quickly and coolly away without addressing her.

People who invade the privacy of other deserve NO attention, which is what she wants. Heaven knows who she is discussing your mail with so don't give her any fuel for gossip.

Or tell her you have a disease (the most communicable the better) and that the boxes contain specimen cups, testing strips and radioactive isotopes for your testing and treatment. But, even doing that is attention for HER so I'd say nothing and tell her the boxes are your business and walk away.

Good luck.

I had a neighbor comment on the boxes once and he asked what was in them, and I smiled at him and said, "Sex toys." and walked away. He had no idea if I was being snarky or not but he hasn't said anything since.

Tuesday, this is an excellent way to deal with people like this. They don't get the attention they want, and you save your privacy.

I mean really, where do people think anyone else's mail is their business?

Honey, convert the flux capacitor to run on the methane produced by common garbage! You'd be doing the planet a favor and you could get to your future you and save the day.



ToyGeek, I love the Capacitor. ThinkGeek.com is one of my favorite sites (other than Eden) I bought a good % of our Christmas presents there.

lol

Hey man, send that flux capacitor my way - I need to for a launch
