I was thinking What is so unusual about that?... and that it could been one of them as well... I didn't really say anything but I need a good comeback if it comes up again.
"Some workplaces drive us to drink, others drive us crazy. Maybe it's time to seek a new job." Could be a witty comeback. At the same time, gossiping in the workplace, I don't know about you, but where I work, that's something that can be seen as harassment, and where I work, there's a procedure to follow, that includes writing down details and brining it to management's attention. ((if, of course, this discussion didn't involve the management...))
