I work at a local credit union, and I’m really annoyed lately with my lunch breaks not really feeling like breaks. I currently am without a car due to an accident, so I’ve been taking my lunches in the office break room. The break room is open, with no doors, so I usually bring headphones, a book, etc.
What’s annoying me so much lately is that even when I’m clearly on break, with headphones in which I thought made it clear I was trying to enjoy my hour of freedom alone, people still feel the need to bother me. They just come up and start talking, unprompted. All the time. Sometimes it’s work related, sometimes it’s not, sometimes they just feel compelled to tell me about things I couldn’t give less of a shit about. I don’t want to be an asshole and say something rude, but damn it’s annoying.
Anyone else have this problem?
