To think it's not her business?

My friend doesn't like me working. Or rather she disapproves of what I do.

I work very part time and the hours do suit me. But if she asks what am I doing and I say work she tuts 'jokingly' and says things like 'when are you going to give that up?'

It sounds odd when I write it down but in other ways she's a good friend.

How do you tell someone nicely to mind their own?

She sounds hard work.

Is it just not tongue in cheek, because she wants to spend the time with you.
It's like something I'd say to a friend in jest, whilst appreciating she either wanted or needed to work.
My friends would take it in good humour too and offer a similar humorous response.

Jokingly, light tone

"Ha ha, do you even remember what work is?"

"ha ha, damn that work getting in the way of nice lunches with ladies."

"ha ha, I know, working plays havoc with my social life"

Do you work for a sex chat line?

I'd hope to get more than minimum wage if I did! Shock
