I asked if the lunchtime phone cover could be looked at again because my one coworker Doreen had insisted on having a particular slot for lunch to break up her day, and the other Sue had a set lunchtime anyway, and that meant I was permanently the one alone with all the phones. Our manager agreed to change it so we took turns, but Doreen was not happy. She got left alone one day in the confusion of an office move and decided to kick off about it including accusing me of having a blowup at her six months earlier.

Oh, but it's perfectly fine to do that to you regularly, though she freaks out over only one time. Hm. Well, I guess that shows that maybe NO ONE should be left alone with the phones and the whole way lunch is structured should be re-examined. *which is pretty much what you said in the first place

Doreen should then realize exactly why you don't like it.

Not break times, but start times
