Yeah, very bizarre. She's claiming that the average American works spends 23 minutes a day on smoke breaks, and 26 minutes a day looking for a new job, and 17 minutes a day "preparing hot drinks", etc. Something is completely bogus here.
- im3w1l 9y ago> 17 minutes a day "preparing hot drinks" This figure I can believe.
- falcolas 9y agoAs can I. As with the smoke breaks, it becomes a water cooler moment - a socially acceptable time to talk with colleagues about personal lives and the occasional work-related meeting.
- Orangeair 9y agoOne possible explanation for this is that people are supposedly spending time doing certain things, but in reality are doing different for things. For example, my mom used to talk about how people at her work were allowed smoke breaks, but no equivalent breaks were allotted to non-smokers, so people would pretend to smoke just to take a few minutes off.
