I find it mildly infuriating that some coworkers think entering a break room gives them license to play loud music over speakers, use obscene language (especially to and about other coworkers), and disrupt the fifteen minutes of peace and quiet some of us crave in the workplace.

I also can’t stand the fact that smokers can take unlimited ‘breaks’ whenever they please just to come back stinking up an entire room with their smoke.

    I can still work while drinking coffee or tea. Smokers get to go outside and smoke for 10-15 minutes while NOT working and get paid for that time.

            The number of breaks allotted to those who smoke was not the point.

            I moved into my own place to get away from habitual smokers, yet I’m forever doing laundry to get someone else’s smoke out of my clothes.

              oh i thought cuz you were mad about their unlimited breaks that was a factor for you

              sounds like the amount of breaks for them dont matter then, its just that they’re stinky. which is fair. but you can get the breaks just the same if you wanted. maybe getting out for some fresh air would be good for you
