The past two people who came through my office didn’t listen when I told them NO. I’m trying to keep people from entering my office, no pleasantries, just “I need” and expecting me to jump. I work at a desk, and one guy asked, “Are you busy?” He looked shocked when I said, “Yes,” and continued typing an email. He said, “but you’re just sitting there,” and laughed. and stood there. waiting for me to acknowledge him again. He tried to hand me a USB drive and said,”You just need to print this out for me.”
That’s when I should have said NO!!!! and left the room. Instead, I said, “no, I’m not going to be able to print that out for you.” He just stood there. smiling at me. I ignored him until he went away to find someone else to print out his document.
Important Note: The guy isn’t my boss, isn’t my customer and isn’t typically so rude (so I didn’t know to run when he first entered the room.)
