Basically, if you are working a menial job, and are sitting around out back with a dart in your hand, you can count on 5 min to be left the f--k alone.
If you're just sitting there without a tar bar, some jackhole is certain to show up and tell you to get back to work.

At some places of work I have gotten up from my desk at 4:30, 4:45 and said to my coworkers “well, I’m going to take all my smoke breaks at once and go home.” I figured if they got to take a 5 minute break every hour, I should get a perk too. :-)
