I'm single but recently started work in a workplace where all the men have girlfriends, a few have wives and one is engaged.I have always found it weird that none of them call their gfs during lunch despite our lunches being an entire hour. Sure, their girlfriends may have differing schedules, but that seems unlikely.I grew up used to the idea that I should always call mum or maybe a friend during lunch so this is weird to me.My point isn't to tell off my collogues but rather to ask is this normal? Wouldn't you rather at least check in with a loved one than sit in your office eating alone or making small talk?
Everyone is pretty anti social these days like why the heck would i bother myself or someone else for some useless small talk
>>34585861I work from home now, so I always eat with my wife, but when we both worked in office I pretty much only called her if I needed something or if we randomly decided to eat lunch somewhere. Partly because our schedules didn't always sync, but mostly just because I think it's weird to have a familiar/intimate conversation over the phone in public.
>>34585861>I have always found it weird that none of them call their gfs during lunch despite our lunches being an entire hour.And then you find yourself on the other side - click with a girl at work, who never texts or calls anyone, never mentions anyone, and accepts all your advances, until you ask her out, and she tells you she has a boyfriend, because she's dating one of these.
>>34585861I think it is normal not to call during lunch, although people also would not think you were weird for calling your spouse during lunch. I prefer to talk with coworkers during lunch and make friends. I already spend my time after work with my wife, I like talking with other people during the day
>>34585861You are beyond pathetic.
