You ever had one of those friends who had to know all of your business? You know, somehow they are just into every move you make and are constantly watching you...
Spying on you.
I have one like that. He's in the office next door to me. And he's uncannily all knowing.
I bet he is here right now, reading this. I bet he knows I wrote this.
The dirty rotten snake, hiding, coiled inside a hose reel pretending like he is not there.

Some people have to mind their own business but they choose not to. Maybe that's how they entertain themselves by spying on others and sticking their noses where they don't belong.

@lovebuglena I am not sure if it is for entertainment purposes. Not sure what it is actually. In some ways, although it may seem strange, I think it is part of some "hero syndrome." If he knows something he can tell someone, and it helps to keep him surrounded by people. Sort of gives him a purpose. Not sure. I am not a psychologist. But knowing what I know it just seems to fit. He knows so many details about so many people, and often times very personal things. No doubt he pries to get every detail he can.

@porwest He is a very nosy and curious person. That can get him into trouble. As the saying goes, curiousity killed the cat.

@lovebuglena There have been times I have tried to present that wisdom. I think his ears are sealed to advice. He only listens for something juicy. lol

lol. There have been MANY sneaky, slimy men I have run into in my years. Luckily I am a good observer and can spot them. It is probably why I was actually very good at pest control for the short time I did it. Not only could I spot a pest, I could handle them. Unfortunately dispatching pests is legal. Dispatching people is not.

My ex who actually I am good friend with is like that. He always want s to know what I am doing. It is kind of stalkerish, but he does truly care in his way, so I let it go. He isn't that extreme.
