    Default Where have you eaten?

    As in rooms and odd places, rather than restaurants or things like that.

    I feel as though I just took a poll from Dr. Seuss.

    I chose everything but the attic.

    Eating below sea level counts, too, right?

    Sure does, Loki.

    OK, the one that leaves me confused: why would you be eating in a closet?

    (The bathroom one makes perfect sense, though!)

    Closet? I did it just yesterday; I got home from work, kicked my shoes off, grabbed a handful of toasted chickpeas from the kitchen, and munched them as I took my work shirt off in the walk-in closet.

    I'm going to be boring here. I have eaten in the kitchen, dining room, outside, the car, and that's about it. I don't like food being taken to other parts of the house, I'm rather tidy like that.

    I've eaten many places, but eating in the bathroom just seems unhygienic.

    I'm not sure there's ever been a time in my life where I've done anything wearing only socks. They're generally one of the first things I take off and one of the last things I put on.

    See, you gotta do it Red Hot Chili Peppers style.

    No one said the socks need be on your feet.

    I'm kind of looking down on all of you that are admitting to having eaten in the bathroom. Sorry.

    I'm not equipped for Chili Peppers sock wearing...

    ...And, I now have a mental picture of my striped monkey socks being used in such a way. THANKS A FREAKIN' LOT!!!

    The bathroom one is tricky. When you are in a huge rush getting out the door, it makes sense to combine grooming and stuff (I'm sure I don't have to specify what the stuff is) with eating. So, I suspect I have sort of eaten in the bathroom - as in, I've taken a huge bite of some food, then bolted from the table and finished chewing and swallowing while in the bathroom. But actually putting food in my mouth while in the bathroom ... nope, can't do that.

    Had I been able to locate it, I was going to post a youtube video from a Filipina comedienne who riffs on her mother's horror of leaving the toilet seat up when you flush, because your toothbrush is stored nearby. But Googling on the keywords "toothbrush toilet funny Filipina" brought me to a world of strange that I think I'm better off not knowing about.

    Depending on what kind of lab you work in, this may be worse than eating in the bathroom.

    Ok. So he squished it down the drain at least. I don't know where I came up with the feet part? I R confused.

    It was in parasitology lab back in school. Sure there are blood parasite, but stool is still the most common specimen when we're looking for things like worms. The stool got stuck, and there isn't a plunger nimble enough to fit into a skinny sink like the ones in our school lab.

    This isn't the worst part of this story, but maybe there would be more appropriate thread soon.


    Edited to add: With my feet? That would have been neat.

    More people have eaten on a boat than on a train? How American.

    Yep. We don't do a lot of train travel.

    I find it amusing that we actually have more people eating in the living room and kitchen than in the dining room.

    Speaking for myself, I haven't had a dining room since I lived with my parents. Modest means FTL.

    We have a dining room right now! It even has a table and chairs!

    I want to point out that by "eating in the bathroom" I just meant that I bring my coffee and set it on the counter to drink while doing my hair and makeup. Which I think is fairly innocuous!

    I'm just saying we have one! If you want to eat in there and have conversations and manners, we could.

    Oh, of course. I don't think we've got any toilet eaters here. Unless you're setting a sandwich down on a counter or something (ew) there are plenty of non-disgusting reasons as to why you might step into a bathroom with food or drink.

    Well, the only trains I've been on have been local transit subways. And for some reason, while the transit cops never seem easy to find when you want them, they can spot people trying to bring food aboard.
