I've seen this happen numerous times, however have never taken the opportunity to express my sentiments on it. Have you ever been around a co-worker who needed to go to the breakroom/cafe? Whether it be to get the obvious or to get a napkin, condiment, water etc. Well have you ever noticed that most people (women in particular) go with a partner? Really...pay attention next time you go to work and specifically when its time to go to the breakroom/cafe. Listen to the conversations around you and observe when people begin go walk in the direction of the cafe. In most cases you will hear "...walk to the cafe with me"....What is it about the break room that insists that we shouldnt visit alone? Is it the same mentality that most go through when its time to go to the club/lounge? "Girl where WE going tonight?".
Is there a greater question to ask behind this observation? Such as, are we as a society against being alone? Before critics begin to read this and express their disagreement and utter disapproval of this topic, take a moment and think about your past seven days. Have you gone more places (socially) with or without company?
If the former is true for your life I encourage to self evaluate why that is the case for you. You could have just ended up going when every one else was drifting to the cafe and just fell in stream. Or maybe, just maybe, you need the company.
Just a thought.
