I wish this were true, but I can tell when someone thinks I'm a weirdo for eating out alone. Just a month or two ago I went to a McMenamins (a pub/restaurant chain in Oregon and Washington) to have lunch and poke on my laptop, and the guy seating me literally asked if I didn't, like, have a wife or kids or anything.


"They died in a car accident. Thanks for asking."


"Yes, they came last week, and i wanted to see if you're as big a cunt as they said you were."


What a rude host, damn.


If a one penny tip was ever warranted, this is the time.


Probably wanted to scout if you’re on a business trip and more likely to tip. Don’t assume malice…


None of his business. It's an absolutely rude comment no matter what the reason is.


Hard to judge, if you weren't there and don't know what was said verbatim, don't you think ? You may be right, but you also may be very wrong. I really dislike the piling on in thread. Jeez!


You're not a weirdo. That host is a weirdo.
