Am I being uptight or is it rude when your interviewer eats her lunch during the phone interview?

I think it’s rude whenever anyone eats anything anywhere that disrupts me. My desk neighbor eats lunch at her desk every day. Drives me up the wall.

@AD1 Lol! They did that to you?

If this is the internal agency recruiter... run away. Unless you wanna eat your lunch at your desk too

Not them but a similar place like CC did... it was an in person “interview”

Also, to answer your question OP... if you can tell that they are eating their lunch over the phone... I think it is unprofessional, bordering on rude. You’re not uptight.

If they’re eating lunch while giving you a colonic, that’s beyond rude.
