And as if that wasn't enough, suddenly that creepy ex started "following" you. Google has a fix for one of those issues.
As a result of user feedback, Google has made these little changes to turn Buzz into something slightly less creepy:

More visible option to not show followers/people you follow on your public profile
Ability to block anyone who starts following you
More clarity on which of your followers/people you follow can appear on your public profileNow if only they could make the whole thing less annoying. [Gmail Blog (http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/millions-of-buzz-users-and-improvements.html)]
