So I'm a janitor (obviously) and while I don't hate people, I mostly like to be left alone. That's why I do this type of work despite being qualified for office jobs. I absolutely do not mind talking to my coworkers a little bit. If you see me around the building and want to talk for 5 minutes, that's cool, but then please f*** off after a little bit. I even wear headphones to try to send people the signal that I'm in my own little world so they don't bother me. Somehow, this doesn't stop two of the people I work with from talking my head off. They will literally find me when they show up and then talk my head off for like 30 mins about their life, their political views, etc. I actually do listen, but try not to engage. I don't respond much, if they are talking politics I don't really comment or give my viewpoint whether I agree or disagree, and so on. These people even do this to me while I am taking a break trying to read comics on my tablet. If I see somebody reading, or into a tv show or something, I try not to bother them. It seems rude to me. Like, I'm reading and you are going to interrupt my reading and take away from my break time to have a one sided conversation with me despite the fact that I am not acting interested in what you are saying at all. What the f***?
I must state that I have several mental disorders, and while I am not ashamed of it, I don't want to have to announce this to my coworkers to let them know they are bugging the shit out of me and ruining my time at a job I otherwise like. And I actually like these people, I just want them to be able to pick up on cues that I've listened enough and want to clean the f***ing building and read my f***ing comics.
I actually don't even expect any advice or solutions, I just wanted to vent.
Feel free to take this thread in whatever direction. Bitch about your own coworkers or people who don't pick up in social cues or whatever.
