Al-Sharq What if someone you just met and barely knew asked you about your monthly salary? How would you answer such a question? You would probably wonder what made this person give himself the right to infringe upon your privacy. We have people who love to poke their nose into the business of others, but hate it when someone asks them about their private matters. If someone like this asks you about your monthly salary, ask him to tell you how much money he makes every month; you will be surprised how angry he gets. The best way to deal with such people, in my opinion, is to sharply reverse the question and take them by surprise. I hate it when someone asks me about personal matters. I prefer to end the friendly relationship on the spot in order to forestall any future attempts to pry into my business. I feel that if I do not take such action, I will only find myself in a more difficult situation. My inaction might make such people bolder and lead them to ask about every detail of my life. My advice to you is to take swift action or you will become easy prey for such people. The next thing you know they will ask whether your wife works or is a stay-at-home mom and whether she eats lamb or camel meat.
