Anyone have horror stories of eating at restaurants by yourself?
Please respond
I need them
>>27181934
no, because literally nobody actually cares if you eat by yourself, or go to the movies by yourself, or sit in a park by yourself, etc.
and if they do it's because you need to stop eyeballing children and staring at women, you fucking loser.
>go to restaurant alone
>be awkward and conspicuous
>take little notes in little notebook
>staff now thinks I'm a reviewer and I get better service and more care is put into my food
>>27181934
>walk into local fried chicken chain
>wait in line
>order and pay for food
>wait for food
>get food
>sit down
>eat food
>leave

What the fuck? I do this all the time.
One time I went to a chinese hotpot place and after sitting down realized a hotpot would be too big for one person, but I didn't just want to look weird and leave without ordering so I ordered some wontons. My order took forever to arrive and when it did arrive, there was a huge crowd of chinese people piling in looking for tables, and here I am alone at this table for like 6+ trying to eat appetizers but they keep falling out of my spoon and people are staring
was pretty awkward to say the least
None at all and have been eating out occasionally for 7 years alone now
Only one abnormal exchange recently
>call up to book a table
>didn't specify for how many seats
>say "for one"
>she responds with "Really, just the one?"
>let it hang there for a couple of seconds
>"Yes, just the one thank you"
>"Right-of course-sorry!"
>go to eat at favorite restaurant alone
>sit at bar
>talk in spanish to the bar dude
>get free queso
>pay, tip, and go home
don't be that guy who sits at a table alone. fucking freaks. me and the bar dude will make fun of you in spanish.

Normies do that in a regular basis anon.
Just go to a restaurant and check it by yourself. You'll see some lone people among the couples and families.
Here I was, in Mickey dees
>sitting down
>not even ordered yet
>worker on break sits down at a table across from me
>hey man what's up
>I look down at my phone pretending not to hear

>grab my stomach pretending to have shits
>run out and go home
Was a good day
>get my mom to drop me off at Hooters
>lie and say that I'm hanging out with friends when I'm going alone

>sitting down

who does this?
>>27182647
why the fuck would you sit down before you order you fucking autist
while i always eat at restaurants alone, and feel no anxiety or care whatsoever what anyone thinks, the other day i saw the headline of an article about it, and i went to one the next day, and the server said 'Just you today?' with a voice full of pity. It didn't really bother me, but i thought it was pretty funny.

The line was so long it was backing up to the seats, it seemed very convenient at the time.
>>27182439
if i sit in the park and read a book by myself is there a chance a qt will sit next to me"?
They escorted me to a table "out back" and then said "whoops, forgot the table, be right back" and then I heard the lock click shut behind me. I hollered real loud through the door, but they said they couldn't get it back open again, so I walked around to the window and tried to get the attention of a young lady in the restroom, but she was doing that thing where you ignore the person screaming bloody murder through the bathroom window, so I just decided to go home.

No unless you're at least an 8/10

>start to tear up
>speed walk home
never been back to that McDonalds since the incident. I just go to the local market next to my complex for food.
I go to a greek place after going to my favorite nightclub alone, normally to sober up with a gyro and some coffee. I always get better service from the waiters and they check up on me more than when I'm with friends.
One time the waiter stopped these chadbros from messing with me by moving them to a different table after seeing how uncomfortable I was with them trying to make me join them at their table, drunk assholes.
I like going alone to restaurants more than going with friends, I have anxiety about how I eat because I was raised by wolves and am only recently learning how to eat in public.

Not exactly a horror story but I encountered one of you at a bar.
>Be me, travel for work so I eat out alone a lot
>Guy at work tells me about a place that he likes
>I go, it's a typical sports bar. I don't like sports but decide to eat there anyway.
>Just chillin at the bar, looking around at the normies, talking to some older dude next to me and shitposting on my phone
>This guy comes in, looks like a "nu-male"
>Sits next to me and pulls out his phone
>Orders some fancy craft beer they served him in a wine glass
>Pulls his phone out and props it up on a kickstand
>Puts on twitch tv, no headphones or anything
>Literally watching some game (the witcher 3 I think) being streamed, no sound, no chat, at a sports bar.
>I wanted to talk to him but the stench of autism was so severe I couldn't bring myself to do it.
>He has a couple beers and leaves

A regular robot would be too self conscious and paranoid to be that obnoxious
>>27182741
You gotta get a super old looking book, wear flannel and glasses, and get a beard.
You'll at least attract a few hipsters
Some robot posted this gem a few weeks ago, I was fucking dying.
>>27183108
The "hipster" look stopped being popular like 5 years ago. Normies don't wear flannel and thick rimmed glasses anymore
>eating alone in asian restaurant
>go to bathroom
>open door after washing my hands and my waitress is standing there in front of the door smiling looking at me
>I'm too startled to react so I just stare back at her
>this goes on for literally 7 or 8 seconds before she laughs and walks away
I'd think she wanted to bang if I wasn't an ugly virgin
Another time
>eating alone during dinner hours (this makes it 20 times more pathetic)
>my boss comes in and sees me
>brings his wife over and introduces me
>tfw he knows I'm a loser now because he just caught me being the only person eating alone in a restaurant on a friday night
>when I'm ready to leave the waitress tells me he paid for my dinner before he left
TENDIES STORIES!?
I want Tendies!
>Eating French Dip, drinking beer
>Waitress is hovering, asking the usual
>"I'm fine, thanks"
>Want to drink beer, but my hands are covered in gravy
>While my hands are at the napkin and I'm masticating, the waitress swoops in for my half-finished basket of fries and the butt of my sandwhich
>"Finished?" She takes it before I'm done chewing
>I was NOT DONE
>FUCKING CUNT
>Slowly sip my beer
>Walk to register to pay
>Leave her the tip she earned
What am I supposed to do there? She gave me no time to respond, unless I was to shake my head vigorously while swallowing chunks of food, which would have definitely looked non-retarded.
She'd been eyeing me the entire time I was seated, as if she feared a dash on the tab. Just trying to get some lunch after work, cunt.
>>27183214
>waitress steals your food
>still tip her
>>27182439
If I see someone at a restaurant alone its nothing but I have never seen a normal looking person go to the movies by themselves. Thats just fkn weird.

What does a shitty waitress earn?_______

This post genuinely made me angry for you, anon. Sorry you had to face the wrath of Stacy and her cuntiness.
