That doesn't sound great but was this person actually doing anything to interfere with you other than existing in your presence?

Just curious, and I agree it's unprofessional. I can be quite judgemental, though.



Yes. A guy railing a line of Concerta right next to me while I was on a call loudly enough for the possible donor to hear and ask about it was a problem for me.


Why would a possible donor ask about a noise that sounds extremely similar to someone blowing their nose? This comes off as moralising for the sake of moralising, nothing actually harmful has happened.


Buddy I don’t know what to tell you here other than the noise a person makes after snorting a pill that was explicitly designed and engineered to be unpleasant to snort is not a normal noise.

Edit: This is the funniest exchange I’ve had on this website, thank you. “Preferring people don’t do lines of apparently excruciating substances right next to me, at work, in an office, while I’m literally on the phone” being “moralizing” is hilarious.


It's good to know I made someone happy, even if it was entirely by accident :)
