Yes it is counter productive to personalize situations if the better way is to cater to the situation itself. If a bad situation fix it. If it is good let all enjoy. Personalizing heaps an unrealistic burden onto ones shoulders that is far from admirable and easily irritating.
If someone made a whole group wait to order lunch for the sake of one person I would find it rediculous. I would order my own lunch and be done with it.rather than resenting the late person or the boss who wanted to sacrifice mine time for the sake of others. But I am not a "team player" everyone should be responsible for their own lunch.
so you won't wait 5 minutes to eat? that too me is selfish.I mean if you have diabetes or some medical condition where you have to eat that's understandable. I've been starving and thought I was going to pass out, but knew this other person was coming and I didn't want to be rude or kill my appetite. So I waited. drinks are fine, but no one feels comfortable when everyone else is finishing a meal and they just ordered theirs.
