It is better to take a break when you need a break, rather than wait for your colleague to get free to join you for a break,
Taking a break alone & when you need it makes you feel relaxed & also helps you to get back to work on time,
(your colleague can always cover you when you are not around & vice versa)
This is where TEAM WORK comes to play. When employees work as a team such issues do not come up as big. Understand and cooperate with your colleagues and the work will not suffer and everyone will be happy.
I believe this not a big issue once happened a one or two times A year
but let say it its happened to you Usually the reaction should not be the same
Definitely I would have to co operate and wait till my colleague comes back. However, the company should not suffer!
This depends on the relationship between you and the organization, if you consider this organization is personal business you have to answer
