I've seen this behavior at work environments. It's not explicitly enforced, but if nobody else is leaving the office for lunch, then you don't want to be seen as one who does. Also works with staying late at the office, weekends, etc.

And then sometimes someone goes out for lunch and nothing bad happens. If the management are not psychopaths, it might be worth trying.

I understand how social pressure works and that there might be punishments for breaking unstated rules, but oftentimes someone has no choice, don't give a fck or is asperger enough not to get it aaand nothing bad happens.

Assumes you are not slacking the rest of the time obviously.
