My sandwich request was ignored, and I was practically put on trial for using the microwave in the breakroom
I usually bring my own lunch to work but today, I forgot it. So, I went to a deli-style place to get a sandwich and there was a pretty long line which is always hard to navigate because while in line, people seem to want to chit-chat and I never know what to say. Then, when you get to the front of the line, you need to be clear about what you want without delay. So, there were 2 girls behind me who were talking to each other non-stop and a guy in front of me who gave me one of those acknowledging nods with a smile. I wasn't sure if he was doing that to me or to the girls behind me, so I just stood completely still. Then by the time it was my time to order, I wanted to get my bread toasted but I didn't see that as on option on the menu board, so I just ordered from the menu and surprisingly it wasn't toasted. The two girls behind me never stopped talking to each other the whole time and they were getting on my nerves, so I was glad to get out of there.
Back in the office, I went to the breakroom which has a little kitchen area and put the sandwich in the microwave to see if it would somewhat toast it. The guy who is always calling me out for one thing or another and once compared me to a serial killer in front of the waitress when were all at a restaurant when I ordered came into the kitchen. He asked in a loud voice, "who's stinking up the place?" Everyone stared at the microwave and then me. I said, "it's just a sandwich," but he said I should be more respectful of others. I know he was just giving me a hard time, but with everyone laughing and in on the joke on top of the trauma at the deli, it kind of ruined my entire lunch.
I will be sure to remember to bring my lunch from home from now on.
