It humors me when a person is so bored, they'll interrupt another by asking the obvious in the hope that it will spark a conversation. For example, if I'm working on something, and a person asks me, "Are you working?," I think to myself, "No. I'm just pretending to type on the computer to avoid conversations like this one." When I'm writing and a person asks, "Are you writing something?," I want to say, "No, I'm just trying to appear busy by scribbling words on a page." I don't know anybody who likes to be interrupted while they're working, especially if they're in a work-like zone. However, it's doubly infuriating if the interruption isn't a necessary one and has the sole purpose of attempting to relieve the interrupter of his or her boredom. It's nice for others to showcase interest in what one is doing, but not while we're actually doing it. At dinner or a coffee shop, it would be welcome...
