To the lady that I work with, please stop following me around the workplace (or otherwise)! You're a nice lady, I understand that since your husband is away you are lonely, but you're totally bumming me out!! I get that you're having a hard time with money and health issues, and I will sympathize with you, but I can only do it so much. We all have problems and believe it or not, I'm not that concerned about yours.

And no, I don't want to hang out with you outside work. We have absolutely nothing in common except that we work at the same place... so stop looking at me strange when I make excuses not to hang out with you outside work.

If only I could be more direct and tell you flat out... but I really don't want to hurt your feelings. —Leave Me Alone Already
