Coworker confronts employee after discovering they use their lunch break to take walks around the parking garage, employee refuses their demands to stop: ‘I’m entitled to my break’

What is the most far-from-working thing you have gotten around to doing during your lunch break? We're not talking about going to the pharmacy, getting groceries, or calling your mom; we want to know the most far-fetched things you manage to squeeze in on your hour-long break from work. For example, I once went to get my nails done during my lunch break. I would not recommend it, though, because it was kind of difficult to explain how my nails changed colors in the middle of the day. 

The employee in the story below is not as extreme. They spend their break time going on walks around the parking lot. Anyone who works a desk job knows how challenging it can be to sit by a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, so spending an hour in the middle of the day moving around doesn't sound so bad. 

However, when one of their coworkers discovered what they do during their lunch time, they were not as excited about the idea. They thought it was weird that an employee uses their lunch time to do anything but eat lunch and work.
