[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to go along with the rest of the office if you want to fit in. [/quote]

I am not OP but this is what is wrong with the workplace.

I am there to work-period. I am not there to fit in, play social club like I am in high school, or participate in elementary pizza parties. I am there to do a job and then I want to go home.

If I am entitled to a lunch break, then I don't need you telling me how to spend that time. This is not second grade.

Please stop wasting my time with all the nonsense. This is a job, not my life. You want the job done well, then let me do it and save all the BS because I am not interested.
Sorry OP. You will have to feel them out to see if you have to play along or not. I am so glad I don't have to play these stupid games.[/quote]

+1 My lunch time is my down time.  I resent if people try to make it into social hour.  I also have very specific food interests, and I don't eat meat, so half of the time, I probably wouldn't eat what other people choose.

Could you tell them that you have food sensitivities and really would prefer not to participate?  Or tell them that you use your lunch time for other things.  period.  [/quote]
