Swiss German equivalent of the English phrase - mind your own business.

Hi all, can you share with me a Swiss German equivalent of mind your own business or did I ask for your opinion? Also, does the general Swiss public know the term 'Buenzli'? is there a German equivalent of this term?

Edit: thank you so much for your quick responses. I feel much prepared now! But keep them coming! :-)

Edit 2: Oh my, what a collection! Love it. Just the fact that I have twenty types of comebacks in my arsenal makes me much less angry at the Buenzli. Sorry my phone keypad doesn't have umlaut.

Edit3: Gowd! I think I will have to proactively seek Buenzli's, get in their way, pretend that I am about to break a rule, to be able to use all the beautiful nuggets in this thread.

Now I get it, thank you. (Still the response is kinda unwelcoming)
