When eating out, I always try and sit facing the entrance. No idea when or why it started but it irks me having my back turned like that.

Years ago I was told by a very wise, long term bar owner to, "Always sit facing the door. You never know what's gonna walk through there at any time"

30+ years later and I still follow that advice. And I've taught my kids the same.

I’m going to venture a guess that you are married and have children and in general are very protective of your family and mindful of there safety in various situations.

I do the same thing. I want to be able to see who is walking into the restaurant.

Side note*** Wild Bill Hickock while playing cards in any saloon always sat with his back towards a wall and facing the door so. I one could sneak up on him. The one time he didn’t, he was shot in the back.
