Minding Other People's Business

Bertolt Brecht, Mann ist Mann, Scene 4 (tr. Gerhard Nellhaus):
There are some people who will keep sticking their noses into everything. Give them a finger and they'll have your whole hand.

Es gibt Leute, die ihre Nase in gar alle Angelegenheiten hineinstecken müssen. Wenn man solchen Leuten den kleinen Finger reicht, nehmen sie gleich die ganze Hand.
