The obsession with what other people do with their lives. I like to be left alone, mind my own business, not bother others. But there seems to be some part of the population that is the opposite and just can't help but poke and pry at others.
Its because there are some that believe that their freedom does not encroach on the freedoms of other, and need a polite reminder that their actions have consequences, and that we're all part of a larger whole, no matter how much we pretend otherwise.
Like when people keep asking "is so and so gay" (usually a celebrity). I mean, unless you're trying to date that person, what difference does it make. Whatever they do behind closed doors - you're probably not getting an engraved invitation to join in, so give it a rest!!
