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.
