Going alone vs. going with other people

[kddani]

I prefer shopping alone... I either end up feeling hurried or get annoyed waiting for someone else.

I HATE going to restaurants alone, more because of the shitty service i'm more likely to receive as a solo diner. Or I'll get looks of sympathy from the hostess or wait stuff- c'mon people, it's not uncommon to travel alone for business!

I've been to the movies alone when I was having some car work done one day- the dealer had a shuttle to the mall. It was great, a nice way to kill some time.

I prefer shopping alone. I don't really like shopping to begin with, so I hate having to go into to stores with my friends that I don't like or can't shop in anyway.

I've been to the movies alone, and don't mind doing it, but I prefer company.

I eat alone every day, but I would also prefer company. I work in an office of 5 people (2 lawyers and 3 clerks). The lawyers are husband and wife so they lunch together. However, the 3 of us have to eat lunch alone as someone as to be in the office at all times to man the phones.
