Is it lame to sit with your significant other on the same side of the booth?

[Option84]

If it's just the two of you I mean. Cause my friend told me it was. But I was like "naw man, we just like to hold hands while we eat and stuff."

WTF is with these gay threads?

[Option84]

I'm not gay. I'm talking about my girlfriend. I just wrote significant other so as not to exclude the gays and the married people and females with boyfriends and what not.

This is exactly why we need to resurrect the Random Thoughts thread.

And this thread reminds me of the schmoopie episode on Seinfeld.

I need to get on whatever daily medication your on. And furthermore, this is why we need the random thoughts thread back...

What always find weird is when a poster signs up, posts for a few years, and then all of a sudden one day starts posting like a nutcase.

It's one thing when you see multiple stupid threads from one poster, look at their join date, and it's within the last couple of days. But this guy signed up in 2007, and I never noticed him before.

I don't know what sitting in a booth has to do with people who can't walk.

So you chop up all your food before you start eating?

I always eat on the opposite side, but once we're done eating I often go sit on the same side.

I wonder what the threads were like during the lockout.

Anyways, if the place is too loud or the table is too big to talk across, then the gf and I will sit on the same side.

Haha since he's getting chirped so bad, I'll bite...

Ya it's kinda weak sauce. Depends where though. If you're out on the patio at a pub at one of those round tables, I think sitting next to each other (especially facing the sun), that's fine. But in a restaurant, at a regular table, sitting next to each other in the booth when you're by yourself is lame. Especially if you've been dating a long time (if you're in the courting phase its still lame, but understandable).

I love sitting on the same side of the booth as my wife. #hojos

[Travis Munroe]

depends on the seating situation....
Joeys chinook for example on lower level against back wall it is fine to sit on the same side. The booth runs the entire length of the wall and looks onto the entire restaurant. The other side looks directly at a wall.
The ultimate NO is a perfectly square table for 2 when you sit at a right angle of each other. You look like a idiot and really got no closer to your "significant other"

[Captain_Obvious]

Really?

In light of the recent soda bottle pricing crisis there are bigger things to worry about than something like this.

Sitting on a round table together is understandable.

Sitting next to each other at a restaurant booth = trying too hard to make everyone around you think you're straight.

Seriously? Wow....

Does she feed you like mommy bird, thats the only possible way this works.

[malcolmk14]

Yes it's lame.

[MoneyGuy]

Better question is why you care if anyone thinks it's lame. insecure maybe?
