I got in trouble last week because people were talking for 40min in a meeting about recball vs travel ball (kids baseball).After 5 attempts to talk about work or change topics and two attempts to talk over them... I said, "turns out i dont give a fuck about this conversation so im going to my office to work." Which didnt go over well for some reason.
Back when Clash of Clans was in its heyday I would get extra spicy when I had to wait ten to fifteen minutes for a Quality Assurance person to finish their Clash conversation to be able to continue my work. All while the person the QA was always talking to, the maintenance chief, was trying to make us complete the maintenance cycles faster ("but not rushing you. If you feel rushed that's self inflicted"), and banned people from bringing phones onto the hangar deck because they were a distraction. Irony.
