Eating while walking?

[SydneyK]

What interesting water-cooler convos you have at work!

This is one of those topics where I have an opinion, but I don't think I've ever actively formed that opinion. So I have to wonder why that's the opinion I have.

Sen used the word I wanted to use - tacky. There are very few occasions where eating while walking is necessary or acceptable, IMO. I guess it just seems rude.

As far as I'm concerned, it depends on where you are and what kind of food it is. Eating a hot dog or whatever else while you walk around at the fair -- completely normal and acceptable. Eating a slice of pizze while you walk down the street on your lunch break -- maybe not so much.

Well put - I concur.

I think its acceptable in certain situations, like a street fair, but otherwise no. Ice cream would be another appropriate exception. I like to enjoy eating, so I think you should do that seated.

ETA: Deltas can't eat chicken LOL

Agreed. Street fairs, carnivals, some receptions w/ hors d'oeuvres, football games, and any place that serves ice cream are all ok in my book.

I feel like I told this story before, but tried to help this chick understand how bad she looked walking around in her sorority jacket eating a chicken leg.

"What, Deltas can't eat chicken? I'm a Delta now so I can't eat chicken?"

I just walked away.

Of course Deltas can't eat chicken. Even I knew that.
