This girl hears EVERYTHING that is said at my cubical. Its like she has super ears and can hear anything. I hate it. Even if I whisper as softly as I can.. I have to take people out into the hall to talk to them about personal things. I've said stuff like hey nosey, stop, but in a joking way.. What should I say to her, for her to stop medling into my convo's? and for her not to go straight to the boss, and get things all tense around here? she's so annoying!!!!! HELP!!

You really should be working at work. However, let us be realistic, we need to chat with others. Humans are social creatures, it makes the working environment better and it is a good way of passing time.
If a friend of your comes up to your cubicle say, in a normal voice, that the girl in the cubicle next to yours listens in on your conversations and you would feel better for your friend if we were to go somewhere else. Basically leave, like you have been. If this girl, in the cubicle next to you asks you a direct non-work-related question be a little rude and say, "why do you want to know?". Maybe, she has good ears, maybe she can't help it but, you sure can! Don't want her to hear? Don't give her the opportunity!

You could "whisper" about how nosey she is to another co worker. Maybe she'll get it. Otherwise, you may just have to be way bolder and confront her directly.
Another option would be to got o your boss for help/advice. explain what is going on and that you do not want tention or problems to arise from this. Maybe you can change cubicals? It's worth a try!

I even have continuously gotten an identical questions, yet I had a reliable excuse. They knew i will't consume. With 30 pages properly worth of nutrients allergies, no longer something they have been serving grow to be ever something i will consume. So I basically on no account went. tell them you're no longer involved and that's that! LOL! What can they do? hearth you?!

Make something up about your personal life that is really juicy. Then when she goes to tell the boss what you're up to and the boss comes to you, you can say, "No. I don't do that, I wonder why she's making things up about me?" And maybe she'll get fired for being a nosey liar!

I know the feeling. i'm sure many others have annoying coworkers. if you don't want to cause any tension w/ her, then keep your conversations outside or on paper or email. you should probably ask your boss to move to a different cubicle as well. unfortunately, annoying coworkers come with the job sometimes. just don't let her get under your skin. stay your distance.

Limit your personal conversations at work and take them out of her earshot. You can also email. I have done both at work because I have the same problem. With the email - my friend and I use our home accounts to email back and forth while we are at work, otherwise we go into another room or wait until lunch and leave the building.
Hope this helps.

Stop having personal conversations at work, you should be working.
