I didn't even want the gossip in the first place, hate that stuff. And now you made me look like a liar because I've talked to them since you told me and played dumb at your request about news I didn't even want to know. What is wrong with people anyway...

one thing i have learned over the years is that some people just have to constantly have some kind of 'drama' in their life - i don't understand it, but it just seems to be the way some folks are wired.
i think the best thing you can do is just be honest with the other person and explain that the first person specifically asked you to keep quiet about the stuff and you were just respecting their wishes
i, like you, do not enjoy being 'privy' to gossip, mostly becuz i just don't care. i've got enough stuff going on that i don't have the time or energy to get dragged into that crap!
