Dining alone, yay or nay?

Even wolves share a kill

they have to. iunno where I was reading it the other day but they did a study or something, that when a wolf takes down prey alone, more than half of it is ganked by scavengers and whatever else you would call that biological niche. Birds swooping in and stealing stuff. When they do it in packs the others back off.

Unless I'm dining with my wife, I prefer to dine out alone. There is nothing, NOTHING worse than having to share a table with co-workers for example.

Breaking bread together is the great equalizer, which means you look down on them quite fiercely to hate it that much

It’s “yea or nay”. Yea is basically the only reason for that variant of the word still existing in modern times, don’t give the glory to its retarded cousin “yay”.

Nothing wrong with eating alone. Literally nobody cares except for busybody gossip queens. I worked at a place where people came in alone all the time, they were some of the best/friendliest customers.

Not every situation in life is a business transaction. Sometimes people just want to enjoy something in peace without the added obligation of social pressure.

I don't look down on them. It's just that the place where I work is one of those rent-a-clown places, like for parties, carnivals, school events etc., Being surrounded by clowns 9-5 every day is enough, I don't want them around when I'm eating dinner.

That just proved my point though
Sorry you hate your job. Do you laugh like the joker?

>Going out to eat alone
>When instead you could make a massive meal to eat while watching a comfy tv show like star trek

>yes, hostess? just a table for one, thanks.

Yay all the way. Most people chew with their mouth open and make disgusting wet smacking noises. Makes me lose my appetite.

Star trek is so good. I think ds9 is my favorite, it plays second fiddle to TNG a lot but imo it's better once you get past the first two seasons. Just like TNG was

the presence of others ruins any meal or snack

Imagine how your wife must feel

[Anonymous No.16110144]

Do you think I have a choice? Besides, I hate having to be conscious of people being able to see me while I eat and not being able to be as disgusting as I please.

I've always wondered what happened to Shrek is love Guy

[Anonymous No.16110582]

I like to read while I eat, so dining alone is preferred.

However, sometimes I sit at the community table along with whoever shows up.

It's my only option

as an introvert, it's very comfy

[Anonymous No.16110681]

always funny seeing that one person who eats alone with a book. We know you're scared of being seen as a loser so you try to hide it by reading to give off an air if nonchalance

we can all see it.

[Anonymous No.16110690]

>>16110681
Alright, so hiding it is pointless. Should I just go full weeb and bring my shit to game on since everyone knows I'm a loser already?

[Anonymous No.16110748]

>>16109003
Well it's not like I have alternatives
