Does it seem like every time I write a post about work...

...it's related to the bathroom?

Sorry if that's the case.

Anywho, I need you guys to tell me if I was in the wrong in this situation.  I was walking to the bathroom and there was a girl walking down the hallway towards me.  She had her earbuds in, so I assumed she wasn't on her way to the bathroom, too.  Yeah...she was.  I got there first and didn't do the "push the door open for the person behind me" thing and it kind of closed in her face.  She opened it and was like, "Gee, thanks."  Umm, I'm sorry!  Who the heck goes to the bathroom wearing their earbuds?

That's weird, right?

Re: Does it seem like every time I write a post about work...

  • That does seem a little weird to me. I'd be worried something would happen to them. Maybe she didn't want to miss something? I can't believe she gave you attitude for not holding the door.

     

  • Nope, you post about your awesome food days too!

    That's weird. I clip my iPod on me at work, but I don't keep listening when I go potty. That's weird.

    I've given attitude when someone doesn't hold the door for me. But I can see why you would have thought she wouldn't be going in.

  • I'm also guilty of getting an attitude if someone doesn't hold the door for me. Walking around with earbuds in isn't something that I've ever done at work, but I did see it happen frequently at my old job, so I don't think it is that odd. My coworker use to do it so he didn't have to stop and chat with people in the hallway lol.

  • I've given attitude too. I meant she gave attitude when she didn't realize she was going in the bathroom.

     

  • geez thats a little unnecessary!
  • I've given attitude too but normally I just roll my eyes. Also, this whole idea of wearing ear buds at work is new to me! Does everyone do it?

  • I wish I could use ear buds at work sometimes. :)

    I think it depends on the work environment. At B of A it was such a long walk from where the cubicles were to the cafe and bathrooms. We also had a gym there too that people used. After being on the phone all day with clients, some people just liked to zone out and listen to music (or use it as an excuse to not make small talk).

    My friend does.it while she is doing research for her boss.

     

  • Well that's better than the mystery person in my office that sits in the stall with music playing softly from her cell phone. I don't know who it is, but I am dying to figure out who it is for some strange reason!

    Thank you!

    I wear mine at my desk, but I usually take them out if I get up.  I have them connected to my phone, so if I need to run to the printer I might slip it in my back pocket and leave them in, but I would never wear them to the bathroom!
