A poll about manners.

[baratron]

Someone at work is really getting on my nerves. After a "conversation" with her this evening, I decided to come home and write this poll. In the questions where I talk about a random co-worker, I mean someone that you have no connection with apart from working at the same place. When I talk about a friend, I mean someone that you do have some kind of interest in or connection with, someone that you care about for specific reasons, rather than just because they're another human being.


[Poll #97047]

I'll be interested in people's answers. I think some of these situations are more clear-cut than others. Feel free to explain your reasoning in comments.

Luckily I have a name most people don't shorten, but I have had a few people try to call me Marc and then act like I'm a snob for asking not to be called that.

And if I'm reading and eating I can't do a third thing.

We have an unofficial unspoken rule in our work canteen. It's a long room with long tables, there's a central aisle and then the tables run out from this to the wall. There's about 6 seats either side. If someone is sat at an empty table but has gone down to the wall they don't want company, if they're sat by the aisle they do.
