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.

    My opinion is that they are drug addicts. My opinion is also that being a drug addict is not something that should grant someone special privileges. How is that “emotionally manipulative”? I am not manipulating anyone.

      I already explained this to you. Do you really need me to link to a comment further up this chain?

        I explained why your explanation was wrong. Do you really need me to link to a comment further up this chain?

          You did no such thing. “it’s just my opinion” doesn’t make it less manipulative. I’m sure people that call abortion “murdering babies” are “just stating their opinions”, too.

          Here, I’ll give you an easy out to save your wounded pride-- maybe you didn’t realize that you were being emotionally manipulative?

            You attempted to manipulate anyone that reads your comments into agreeing with your opinion.

            No, I don’t expect people to agree with me. I know my opinion is very unpopular. I don’t care.

              Yes, I saw that. You’re so very edgy and I’m very impressed. That doesn’t change anything.

              I don’t see how this conversation is going to end any better than we are right now. I hope you consider your words in the future.

                My mom argues the same way DreamySweet does.
                It’s easy to dismiss her arguments as I know the scripts she fills on a monthly basis. Yes mom, I’m totally a drug addict on the weekends.
                Dreamy’s probably a great person, just cranky until they get their morning Xanax/Lipitor/Zoloft/etc.
