I have this neighbor that lives on the floor above me at my apartment building. She knew I majored in Accounting in college. She’s a former CPA that let her license lapse. I occasionally run into her about 2-3 times a month in the hallway or the elevator. Every time she sees me, she ALWAYS says, “Hi!! So, did you take the CPA exam yet?” I refuse to tell people anything until I passed everything. It’s no one’s business to know that I’ve taken this test so many times already and failed multiple times and am still working at it. I just tell her that I’m still reviewing and will take it when I feel I’m ready. I tell her that exact same thing every time, but she’s still insistent and keeps on asking me if I took the test. She even asks my parents as well when she sees them, but my parents are the same way. They don’t want to tell anyone I failed because it’s not something that we’re proud to say and frankly, it’s no one’s business. But she still keeps on asking. Now, I understand if they ask once in a blue moon, but she literally asks me every times she sees me and my parents. It’s the first thing she asks when she sees us. It’s annoying and it’s putting pressure on me.

Does this happen to anyone here as well? What do you do about it?
