I will stab you.

I just want to read at lunch. I can't sit in the break room because there are so many people. So I sit in my office, lunch and Kindle on my desk. And people kept coming in to ask me work stuff! Can I get 15 flipping minutes of silence, please?!

  • That is so aggravating!  

    I had the same person come up to my desk twice while I was eating lunch today.  TWICE!    But in all fairness he will be gone the rest of the week after today so I forgave him this time. 

    I feel you on the lunch peace... let me have it, please!

  • Seriously, if I really need some quiet time to myself during the day I go out to the car at lunch, turn it on so I stay warm and just sit there. Sometimes I even take a quick 15-20 minute nap (with the doors locked). It might be a waste of gas but sometimes I just need people to leave me alone!

    Good luck Eve! I hope all your co-workers survive the day!  Smile

  • I bet it will only take one strategically placed body outside your door with a pen in their eye for everyone else to get the hint.

    I used to do this sometimes also.  It was worth it to get away for a bit.

  • Sometimes I go sit in a storage room for a couple minutes, but I can't eat lunch there. When it's nice outside, I eat at a picnic table outside or go to a nearby park. 

    I have a door but it's glass so people will still *tinktinktink* on it if they see me inside.

  • You should get a "Will be back at [clock dial]" and maybe they'll get the point. If not, you need a sign you can hold up that says "Look at the sign on the door..."

    I leave for lunch every day, but it's not a big city, so it's easy to do.

  • Apparently not. They must think you are not human or something. Have they ever had those times where they want alone time? Yes but people are selfish and they never think about the other person, just themselves.
