but hor, i dont know what do you mean by private session.... how private is private? Just intimate chats? If it's like that, i dont really care if a 3rd part...

Let me ask you all...do you all feel bothered when you have to share your table when you are eating with a bunch of strangers? Let's say you are in a very crowded restaurant or food court and you are eating and having conversations with your boyfriend or husband, then some strangers came up to ask, can I sit with you all..do you feel a bit irritated and don't like it? Especially when you are in a very cramped place like Toastbox where the table is so freaking small and your tray practically occupied 3/4 o the table already but still got ppl want to share, how do you truly feel?

Fatum SG

depends lah ... sometimes rush hour bo pian ....

imagine, for example, lau pah sat during rush hour ...

I don't mind sharing tables ... but at least the chap should ask if it's occupied first ... don't just plonk a tray down and start chomping on his kway png sullenly ...

If it's lunch rush hour, then bo pian mah.... everyone needs to eat.

After all, a crowded food court/canteen is hardly a place for privacy anyway.

Yea...actually if I see there is really no table elsewhere, I dun mind them sitting with us, provided that the table is big enough to accomodate all of us plus our food items...

Some of the tables already so small yet some just want to squeeze in...then when you tell them not enuf space for your own food items le, they will show you a sullen face and said that you are selfish

it is bad when the area is cramped and the table is small..makes me and people who are eating with me uncomfortable...then have to sit quietly and eat...ruin the mood to enjoy the food...

when i m eating alone, I dun mind other people joining me...it is when I am eating out with others...so naturally during meal time we would want to chit chat and talk...but with strangers on the table the mood will be affected...

And not during working time, I am talking about meals during weekends...

rainee SG

You think so easy to find such tables? But even when we are sitting on a 2 people seating tables some strangers will still want to sit with us by bringing chairs from other tables...

Anyway this thread is not to solve my problem la, it is just for sharing lolz

FireIce SG

me ok one
crowded bo bian lah
singapore too many ppl

but got one time this old uncle and auntie share table with me and 2 guys..
I think halfway thru the meal they jiak buey loh bcos they disgusted by our conversation..
the bak jiu like going to roll into the bak kut teh soup like tt....

Master -_- SG

well it's a public place and everyone is at liberty to sit anywhere they want but normally, u cant be shooing them when they are carrying their tray and asking politely if they could share a table.. Sometimes, i do that and sometimes, i got people doing that to me..and it will normally be a cuppa if i'm sharing tables with people...It all starts with a smile

BadzMaro SG

LoL.. i will only be in that kind of situation when the food is so damn good that i am willing to share tables.

Which i did.. few times. Man.. the char siew ... sao rou ... oh man.. it lives up to its name. Any yous going Kuching.. MUST go there makan!!!

rainee SG

hanor only when I move here then I comprehend how crowded SIngapore really is...everywhere is like human traffic, esp during weekends.

Haha...what did you all talk about until they so disgusted?

Daisuke-kun SG

seldom eat out.

even if i do.

i order takeaway, go someplace quiet, eat lor.

rainee SG

Yea...maybe because I have this mindset that once I am sitting at this table, it is off-course to the rest.

Yes, it is a bad mindset I know, one which can only be maintained in a country with little to no visible human traffic.

But sumtimes if I am eating out with a number of people and suddenly a stranger wants to join us I will feel bad for him or her...cos we will be talking away and making a lot of noise then the poor girl or guy like so isolated...
