In this case, it could be translated something like that:
"You are such a busybody," "Nothing gets by you," or even like this: "You
are a real detective!"

>> Season's greetings,

>>
>> "В каждый горшок тебе надо плюнуть"
>> (V kazhdyi gorshok tebe nado pliunut')

>> The person being addressed is an idealist and a bit of a

>> the bat, which prompts the phrase in question from another neighbor.
>> Any ideas would be great.
>> Thanks in advance,
