The OP in this story feels that her boyfriend follows her around like a cat. He is nosy and doesn't understand professionalism or social cues. She got an important HR phone call from a company she was hoping to work with. She went into her office and closed the door for peace and quiet. Somehow this wasn't clear enough to her boyfriend who proceeded to barge in and then follow her and ask her loud annoying questions. She has ADHD and he isn't sensitive to that either. Naturally, the girlfriend snapped. The moral judges of Reddit are battling in the comments about this conversation.

    Font - I said "yea in the middle of a call I'll say "hold on my bf wants to know who I'm talking to ". He said "well you could have wrote it down or something, I was just curious, I get up and you're already on the phone Sorry. You don't have to be mean about it." He's done this crap before and it's annoying.

    Font - So I just stayed in my office and have been checking emails and futzing around. I'm just irritated because if that Hr person heard him I would have looked unprofessional and he was disrupting my concentration (I have Adhd) and made it harder for me to focus on what she was saying. Maybe I shouldn't have snapped like that and I overreacted.

    Font - BriefHorror · 16 hr. ago S Partassipant [1] NTA set boundaries but my whole question is why in the world do you put up with that behavior. I would snap if someone was following me around trying to figure out who I'm talking to and its about work. How does him working affect when you can go for an interview? 4 12.1k Reply Share
