And then smile at her--and maybe even touch her arm--and say that you are sure that she understands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-889530 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:18:01 +0000 maybebaby 889530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So annoying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-889236 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:21:22 +0000 Adira 889236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: That's a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-889233 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:21:00 +0000 LaineysMom 889233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-889231 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 12:18:52 +0000 swurlygurl 889231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Psh, geez. Maybe you should go in wearing headphones and an iPod and when she tries to talk to you just point to the headphones, shrug, and walk on :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888749 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:48:05 +0000 Dandelion 888749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: That's true...her experience is probably different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888736 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:46:48 +0000 Adira 888736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: With my luck, she's probably one of those efficient pumpers and only needs the room for 15 minutes anyway - she just uses it for the last 15 minutes so I can't go in there early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888724 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:44:26 +0000 Dandelion 888724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Just be "happening to pass by" at the time you know she's gonna show up. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888706 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:41:08 +0000 Adira 888706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: hahaha, if the room wasn't booked before her time, I'd totally do that. Just pretend I'm using it before her and then chat her up when I get out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888702 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:40:10 +0000 Adira 888702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: You're so lucky you have your own office! Though I can see how people stopping by would be annoying. At least when I'm in the Mother's Room, no one bothers me! (Most of my coworkers don't even know where I am) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888687 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:38:26 +0000 Smurfette 888687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annoying she should know you only have so much time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888684 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:37:53 +0000 Adira 888684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously! She's done it to me before too! AND this time she was talking about how the room is booked all day! I'm like "Uh, I know, and this is MY time!"</p> <p>I think next time I see her, I'll just try to whiz by her and if she starts to talk to me, I'll try to be all "Can't talk! I have slow boobs! Need all the time I can get!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888678 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:37:09 +0000 DillonLion 888678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! What a stressor. </p> <p>I pump in my office, but sometimes a client will come by and other people in the office will need their file. So I have to un hook from the pump and slide the file under my door. Embarrassing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888674 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:36:52 +0000 mediagirl 888674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just walk past her and say, I'll chat with you later, and head into the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888672 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:36:39 +0000 Dandelion 888672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should go up there at the beginning of her time and chat her up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888667 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:35:44 +0000 katsupgirl 888667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She should totally know better. I'd tell her next time in a sort of joking way that talking to her is using up your pumping time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888647 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:32:17 +0000 autumnlove 888647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, she should know better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888644 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:32:07 +0000 Dandelion 888644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should really say it...but nicely...you want to use all the time you've got! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-talk-to-me#post-888639 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 10:30:56 +0000 Adira 888639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, just need to vent. At work, we have one Mother's Room to pump in. We book our time through an on-line calendar. There's five or six of us that use it, so it's pretty much booked all day and we each have it for only 30 minutes at a time.</p> <p>So I go down for my scheduled time and the woman who was just in there decides to chat me up after she's done! I wanted to scream at her "I don't have time to talk to you! I need to pump!!!!" UGH!!! </p>
