Intrusive, thoughtless people! said K. as he turned back into the room. The supervisor may have agreed with him, at least K. thought that was what he saw from the corner of his eye. But it was just as possible that he had not even been listening as he had his hand pressed firmly down on the table and seemed to be comparing the length of his fingers.

K. expressed frustration about the people around him, calling them intrusive and thoughtless. He felt isolated as he turned away from the group, implying a lack of understanding or empathy from others. His perspective hinted at a deeper sense of alienation from those who should have offered support or insight.

He noticed the supervisor nearby, suspecting that he might have shared his sentiment. However, K. questioned whether the supervisor was even paying attention, focusing instead on his own fingers. This moment illustrates K.'s realization of the disconnect and indifference in his environment, emphasizing themes of isolation and misunderstanding in Kafka's narrative.
