colleague drives past my house every morning...

[BarrelOfOtters]

That part is fine, it's on her way to work. But I get a comment almost every day - saw a van on your drive - are you getting more work done? Saw your husband putting the cat in the car - off to the vets? Whose is the blue car?

I'm not particularly bothered by it but just enough to think - you know?

Wondering what I can say/do to put her off a bit.

I agree with the first poster, tell her she may as well pick you up every day and drop you off. May stop her commenting.

I'd just be honest and say 'It is actually starting to make me uncomfortable that you discuss my home business every day - please can we talk about something else?'.

Some people are just socially odd, they don't mean any harm but they don't seem to think how what they say might be received.

If this person doesn't change after a direct request you will have to think again, and maybe be even more direct.

I’d take great glee in making up a ridiculous answer every time.

Buy her a balaclava for Christmas with a note to 'keep you warm in the bushes'.

Hey OP
I know what you mean though I did not get as many comments as you, they were nosey and this was confirmed when they mentioned they drove past our new home when that was out of their way. They said they were going to a firned, lol

I think I may guilty of this as well but nowhere near as blatant as that
Get on with your life is all I can say.

Btw, you can tell here jokingly, are you are new neighbourhood watch??

LOL

Just start calling her neighbourhood watch to her face all the time

Please do this 😆

Fair enough. How about “are you conducting some sort of surveillance mission for the MI5? Are they afraid of my family’s ties to the Kremlin?”

keep it light and humorous.

🤣😂🤣

Just say "it's my husbands" or "I'm not sure" to everything and then change the subject.

I'd just be honest and say 'It is actually starting to make me uncomfortable that you discuss my home business every day - please can we talk about something else?'.

This.
The degree to which I discuss my personal life with my colleagues is my choice. I'd feel uncomfortable with colleagues commenting in this way - I know know, not a threat or anything sinister, just an intrusion.

Yes this. Except no ordinary laugh it needs to be a tinkaly sp? Laugh 😁

Just pop a sign in your window saying, "Good morning nosey bastard".
😂

I'd have to think of some serious wind ups for her

Yes that's so annoying. Doesn't like being questioned and wondering why you didn't get invited or something.
Like she acts differently with different people and its all hush hush.
Oh to be a fly on the wall, I used to think.

"no need for a ring doorbell with you on the job is there"

Ask her (semi jokingly) "Are you casing the joint?"

“Are you planing a burglary on my home?”

I’d say something along the lines of “Oh this game seems very one sided. I’m going to find out your address so we can discuss your daily goings on too!”

“Pam, stop staring at my house you big weirdo!!”

You could burst into noisy sobs and rush out of the room?

Lots of people stare for too long, when they are driving along, esp when they spot someone they know. To the point they could crash their car 🙄

“Oh Pam, have you been stalking me again? Don’t forget about the restraining order we agreed on!”

That sound grating.

Next time, I might say, 'are you stalking me?' in a jokey way. 'You know more about my house than me'.

I would do the same every time. She needs to know it's strange.
