Right, I'm nice to them. I don't refuse to talk to them at all, but I'm just not there to socialize. I'm not interested in talking about my kid or sports or movies or anything like that with people at work. You have to walk on eggshells anyway in case you say something that offends someone's political or social sensibilities. And I live in Indiana, which means I can't say the things I want to say when some asshole Republican in the office doesn't care about work etiquette. So I just keep my earbuds in.
