What about you? huh?

I was listening to a song that I wrote as I sat at my desk and one line stood out in the song, "Don't talk about my business if you can't handle yours." Why do people do that so much. They will talk about how broke someone is when they are still living at home with their parents or talking about someones car when they are catching the bus. What is that all about. I try my best not to talk about people. Sometimes I can be very opinionated, but I will not down one to try to make me look better. I have associates, not friends, that believe if you drive a 3 series then you are not doing what you should be doing and they will talk about you. Well, I have a jeep Cherokee and a honda, so I can only imagine what they say about me. I remember when one of these people were stranded in another city and I had to give them a ride back. Funny thing is, they still talked about the fact that they had to ride in a Cherokee. They later had to down grade to a less than 1996 honda accord and later got that 3 series that they so call did not approve of. Don't talk about my business if you can't handle yours.
