Anyone knows how to say this in a polite way please?: "That is none of your business!"

thanx ;) PS: This is especially for at work where I try to keep work and privacy separated, or at least the subjects that are TOO private to talk about. LOL

You could ask them what interest is it of theirs. Or why they need to know your personal history. :)

Then what to say if they reply "Just asking." and then they give you this stare like "Are you still going to answer this?" LOL Happened before...

@LilyOfTheValley: lol...In my experience most people are just looking for a conversation. If your gut tells you differently than more drastic measures are called for. ;)

@LilyOfTheValley: (yep) There are some people that believe they can ask any question, even personal and intimate, and that you (we) are supposed to tell them everything. And then they become offended or hurt because you don't tell them. I said, "That's very personal information that I don't discuss. Thank you for your concern though." When they continued to press I smiled and shook my head no and said, "I'm very busy now." and continued to do what I had to do.
