I work in an office where, if you can imagine this silliness, part of the 'office culture' is when one person orders food, it becomes a group event where everyone is to be asked 'Care to order with us?' otherwise it becomes an office felony if you dont - people's feelings get hurt, and even arguments and tensions arise.
Ive always had a preference to order food alone .... and this makes me the odd person out. I hate dealing with other people's specs - "Egg whites only" "Bacon extra rare" and then on top of those hassles, to have to deal with their monies and giving everyone exact change! it's enough to make you wish you never opened your mouth to begin with ........ oh, and these co workers just give enough to cover their food costs, never adding anything for the delivery person (or me) for that matter
I've been here a year and there's only one person newer than me. all in all we have thousands of employees worldwide but in our little group there's only 7 of us and this weird office custom is the only thing about these people that irks me.
Now this is good for a groan... are you ready?? after i order food alone i sneak into empty conference rooms to eat my food... what utter complete asinine unnecessary nonsense. I can never eat at my desk which is something i've done for years until now
now would you speak up about this? if yes what would you say? these are extremely mature people dont get me wrong - but this one very small but unflinching immature streak has really GOT to go! ..... i don't know where it comes from and i'm completely puzzled as to why it's such a 'serious' issue here...... it's JUST FOOD! oh, and if someone wants to start WWIII here, all they have to do is order with just 1 or 2 co-workers and leave the others out. Gives new meaning to the word 'immature' don't you think?
