i been working for a small apartment community as administratrive assistant.
the girl that used to work her now works as an sub-teacher, my manager and her are really good friends now i don't have a problem with that my problem is that my manager and her gossip about every one in the community because most of are kids go to that school. on a tuesday afternoon they both ask me somthing a bout one of the parent in are community and i just don't have nothing to say about anyone because i don't know them . what to do? is there anything i could do to stop this. i don't know people life to talk about them. so they make me feel bad and uncomfortable because i don't sit and gossip all the time i don't have time . but as soon as that girl leave the premises you hear my boss manager taking about her

Not really sure what advice you could get about this.
If you don't know anything about anyone to talk/gossip about and you don't care, what can you do?

mention somthing about her being a sub teacher and is not against teacher ettique for her to be gossiping about people in the community as the children are her students?
She will most likely stop the conversation and wont bring it up around you again.
Hope that helps, i hate petty people who have to talk about others to make themselves feel more important.

With great charm and a pleasant smile on your face say, "Oh my! My grandmother told me only lowlifes meddle into the affairs of others. I just don't know what is going on in Mr. Doe's life." The key is to be charming. They will get the message and probably not argue.

I was going to say let information sip out to the community but that can come back and bite you. You can either quite or just show big clues that your not interested and ignore them.

Perhaps you could ask them to take their conversation into a more private location. Tell them that it is interfering with your work, or something. That way, you won't have to hear, and they will not try to include you.

I'm like you. I don't have time for gossips.
Just let everyone know that, that simple.
