Same here. I especially loathe the "watercooler talk", when people just hang around and chit chat to burn another half hour.

But I have to admit, I have also seen this behaviour in European engineers, so it is not unexpected.

Honestly I think there's a limit somewhere to how much useful work people can do in a week anyway!

I wholeheartedly agree. Even if it is not about "all this week's work has been finished", but "this week's work has taken a toll on me, thus I may not be productive until I get some rest".
