So I noticed that I can't just eat food like a normal person. I gotta watch something. I have a small tv in my kitchen and I watch that while eating.
I find it hard to eat without watching something on the telly or on my smartphone.
How bout you?

smartphone shenanigans

 

[Armorian]

Usually youtube or some anime.

 

[triplestation]

watch sopranos reruns

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

Used to eat while watching TV which led to associating TV with food but now I just eat.

 

[deafmedal]

I eat out alone a lot. Sitting there all by my lonely I turn to my external electronic appendage for comfort, often while listening to music to drown out the cheerful banter of other people engaged in conversation with friends and loved ones. I get somewhat perturbed when the wait staff tries to make small talk with me, fuck your pity- leave me to wallow in sorrow with my imaginary friends! Even worse when the servants flirt with me. Begone thot, thou arts belowith me!

Ever so often I do get excited when I can eavesdrop on some couple going through the paces of their laughable mating rituals... I sneer to myself and think “what a dork, hope he has money otherwise no ass for him!”

I take pictures of my food. Not to post on Twittergram or Facespace or whatever you hipsters and Sally Soccermoms are into these days. No, I text them to my wife to rub it in her face what a proper fucking meal looks like. I would invite her but the bruises...

Also, I like to criticize the restaurant and threaten to leave bad reviews BEFORE my food has been prepared. I let them KNOW I am not to be trifled with.

I travel for work and eat by myself a lot. My phone stays out and on, usually texting with my wife and browsing my fav forums/reddit/imgur. When I am home and the whole family is eating together we try to leave the devices out of it...

It depends. If the food is crap, I watch TV or Youtube to help make the food go down better. Having a distraction helps when you're eating food you don't like.

If the food is great, then screw watching anything. I'm focused on enjoying my meal.

Think about the shit I'm going to take later.

Think about the shit I'm going to take later.

Yeah.
I've become a master of predicting my turds by just looking at the food.
If there's like a lot of meat and potatoes involved, I know it's gonna be big and will probably shred my butthole with it's birth.

[Ingeniero]

I talk to my coworkers/friends/family while eating.
Browsing Instagram/FB during lunch is very rude.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Enjoy eating GAF.

 

[lachesis]

When eating with family, I eat and enjoy conversations - and occasional Youtube watching on the subject matter. When I am alone, I’ve been watching shows that I missed out - recently it’s been Futurama.

 

[Threeshotgamer]

We have a box that all phones go in for dinner. Usually talk about our days or what is coming up for the weekend. For lunch i usually read while eating or its a working lunch and im on the phone the whole time.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Alone, I just like to think about planning the day, thoughts in my head, etc., and enjoy the meal. There’s something really meditative and soothing about that to me.

I will pick up my phone if I’m currently enjoying something on it, but otherwise, I try not to. I think I, and most people, have way too much of an addiction to mindlessly scrolling for entertainment, versus spending that time doing or thinking of anything meaningful.

With others (that matter to me), no phones ever. I just thoroughly enjoy my lunch or dinner, and talking to the other person.

Well I was going to say watch youtube or read neogaf but i'm changing my answer to watch COFN bathe!

 

[Tesseract]

yeah, it's nice to drone out and let your mind go with a meal

i dig it, only at the start of this year have i begun to use tech around the clock

 

[MetalAlien]

I also like to read the bans page.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I struggle to eat a meal without watching something on my tv / computer / phone.

 

[MaestroMike]

i watch a ton of tv/movies while eating if a tv is a available usually i watch it while eating dinner. i don't enjoy meals they're just fuel & I eat them often and they're usually the same meals & thus they're never special unfortunately but it is what it is.

 

[TIMSTER_777]

I usually have my phone with me when I am eating. (Scrolling through reddit/neogaf)

I have a tv in the kitchen but cable tv sucks these days so I don't bother using it.

 

[ammodotcom]

My favorite thing is eating at a restaurant alone and being able to stare out a window.

 

[Nymphae]

At home, watch TV/Youtube
At work, read smartphone or kindle

 

[Cunth]

fart usually

 

[DESTROYA]

Eat, thats all i do unless I’m with someone then usually BS about whatevers on our mind.

 

[Diddy X]

Doesn't sound good, it means you need stimulus and can't stay calm in peace without it, I also sometimes feel like that but let's say I'm eating out I try to relax and read something or maybe talk to someone old style.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

When I eat I have to watch something either on YT or Netflix. Same thing when I'm eating potato chips on my spare time.

[Elektro Demon]

I accidentally noticed that the poll looks like a penis.

 

[DonJorginho]

I cannot eat without some form of video on in the background, I do not know why, I just feel naked without a video to watch whilst guzzling down on a fresh curry.

 

[GymWolf]

Always watching or reading something, it's a waste of time only eating.

 

[Yoshi]

I read dumb threads on NeoGAF. About food and excrements.

Don't forget Hot Wings and Dick Extension

 

[German Hops]

I like to eat standing up.

Coincidentally, this is also how I like to take my shits.

 

[Meowzers]

I cook my food and as soon as it's done I watch a movie or TV show.

Last time I ate a meal without watching TV was on Xmas day. Which makes things trickier when trying to lose fat.

 

[King of Foxes]

We have two under 1 and another two under 4, so my wife and i are usually also feeding the youngest while we ourselves eat and making sure the older kids are not making a big mess.

TV is always off at meals and we sit together, the current conversations are usually about Peppa pig, Paw Patrol or in the few instances my wife and i get to talk its my wife telling me why this thinks this model/tv host/singer/instagram thot is ugly/a slut. My wife is adamant that this is how meals will always be, no external influence just us talking, im perfectly ok with that.

 

[H4ze]

YouTube or TV, why should I stare at my food like some fucking animal

 

[Elektro Demon]

Don't forget Hot Wings and Dick Extension

I'm very proud of those threads.
But I think this one is legendary.

I felt like Jesus Christ in that one. Because Cunth ressurected himself in that thread.

 

[TrainedRage]

If I’m at home I love watching cooking stuff on YouTube. Or one of my subscriptions.

 

[Freedom Gate Co.]

Chew and digest.

Unless you meant while consuming food, then it would depend on the location. Sometimes you consume food while watching your TV, on the phone, in the shower, taking a dump, you know.

 

[SurprisedPikachu]

If I am at work, I just eat quietly otherwise if I am at home then I socialize with my family.
