So I have nosey, obnoxious neighbors. I don't mind. Its entertaining at times. But anyway, I was coming home from work the other day and the neighbor across the street came over to me as I was getting out of my car and told me that my next-door neighbor's father (who lived with them) died. I asked, therefore, how the family was holding up. "I don't know, I haven't spoken to them yet". I then asked how she knew the man had died. "I asked the police-officer who was at their house". 
OK, maybe its just because I find nosey people annoying anyway, but does anyone else think this neighbors actions were just ever so slightly intrusive? If so, is there anyway an officer can say, in polite terms, "mind your damn business and let me do my job" to people such as her who try to get the gossip-gab on scene? Or am I just being uptight about the whole situation?
