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.

    As a former smoker I can relate to both sides. Cigs are pointless crap and I hate them even when I’m smoker myself (I went out of addiction and back several times over years).

    Having short breaks for smoke or whatever else is perfectly fine for me, unless everyone do their job. For me personally they’re help, not distraction. If smokers have a special privilege for some reason, it’s super stupid, but that’s on the employee, not smokers.
