I get this a lot as a tall person:

"You startled me!"

"Yeah I tend to have that effect on people."

As someone with a broken anxiety response, you could be a gentle sloth and still startle me

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

As a tall person, I quiet my footsteps when approaching someone because I get a kick out of startling people.

My favorite is when I enter a room as someone who was in there alone is walking away from the door, so that by the time they reach the other side and turn around, I'm right behind them.

I do the same! I feel seen friend.

Except most people aren't self-aware enough to know they're disturbing you.

People should walk into traffic more

This perfectly illustrates why I get more done when working from home. People popping into my office exactly like that when they could have just sent me an email.

Classic extrovert time wasting, I couldn’t imagine going back to that environment and being productive

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

So as an extrovert of sorts I want to first say it is definitely on us to remember your needs for productivity/just being comfortable at work. I am sorry some folks don’t respect that for you.

To give a little more perspective here though if that’s ok: sometimes we need to externalize to process something or are kind of running an idea by you with the intention of seeing if there is pushback. A kind of gut check. I know I personally like to do this in person because it allows a little free flow conversation to happen if necessary. That being said, it’s on us to read the room/not always do this lol

Being disturbed by Garak is not disturbing

[-] ApostleO@startrek.website 13 points 1 year ago

Except when it is very disturbing.

Doc's answer didn't even matter.
"Doctor, may I disturb you for a moment?"
"Not right now, please."
"Too late."
"…"

Dude is like Patrick Bateman in every respect except that he uses his powers for good.

me: "yes, what is it?"

coworker: "consider yourself interrupted then"

me: "..."

coworker: "😬"

It kinda looks like that guy has an upside down vagina on his face

But what do I know, I don’t watch StarWars
