Where are your honest friends?

So today I want to talk about tatter tellers/gossipers. I have been known in my day to gossip, to relay information about something someone had told me. Generally I go to the source first and clarify any information that I think is false.
I am ticked. I was in a store on Saturday when I received a call on my cell phone. Now I personally don't like cell phones, as everyone and their dog can track you down. It's true you don't have to answer the phone, but generally one of the kids either picks it up and answers or it is one of the kids on the other end.
So I was saying, I was in the store Saturday when I received a phone call from out of state. It was a friend of mine from a southern state who is a big time gossip. I usually get the calls from them to find out what is going on in my neck of the woods. This time it was to relay information about myself. They started asking questions about something I have planned for the near future. I was livid! I had only spoken with three people as to what I was going to do and apparently one of them couldn't wait to blab it to everyone! I live in a very small town, where no one has anything else better to do then spy on the neighbors or talk about them, making assumptions about them that aren't true.
I had to sit down as I was on the phone and a bit shakey. They would not give up the name, but I am no dummy and I KNOW who did it. The thing that really pisses me off, I hadn't spoken to my family about it yet and they are going to be the ones involved. Talk about ticked! And then today, I was speaking with a co-worker, when the BIG FUCKING MOUTH came practically running out of their room to find out what I was talking about with the other person. I stopped talking, turned away, and walked off, mumbling under my breath.
I hate feeling like I am going to be penalizing everyone, because of one big mouth.
