: During a casual conversation with a co-worker in the break room, another colleague entered in a hurry. We often share friendly banter about a sports team, and a significant event had occurred with the team the night before.
I did return to them after my conversation ended, offering a sincere apology, which they graciously accepted. I certainly could have chosen not to interrupt my initial conversation in the first place, but was there anything else I could have done to be less rude in this situation?It appears that you were the initiator at every stage, so there were plenty of options.
