Yeah, we all have those annoying moments.

Sometimes, you don’t go to gossip, but gossip will come to you.

有时候，你不去找八卦，但八卦会来找你。

And this is particularly troubling in workplaces.

这种事要是发生在职场里尤其麻烦。

With this simple question, you can find out whether the thing you are talking about is real information or not.
