Anybody do this?

I usually do this because it gets expensive if I bring my wife, so I usually just leave her at home.

No, it is not weird. Yes, I do this. Say I'm on a business trip. Or running out for a quick lunch from work. Or shite maybe I have just been having a craving for a particular restaurant, and no one else is feeling it. It's only weird if you make it weird. I'm not afraid to be independent. I also almost exclusively attend movies by myself.

I don't require the presence or approval of others to make it in life. I do, however, require food to survive. Therefore, if I'm alone and hungry and want to eat at a restaurant, I eat at a restaurant and dgaf what some moron thinks about it. Easy enough.

I eat lunch by myself all the time, I'm in sales tho

Just did it. Lunch usually not dinner. And usually go to a place with a bar. Even if I am going to drink tea I will sit at the bar. Better service and looks more normal.

What's the big deal about it?

If it's a traditional family dining type place, I'd order to go and just eat in my vehicle.

that strikes me as much more weird than sitting alone at a table. to be fair though, i eat alone pretty regularly, i just bring a book or kindle and enjoy my food and reading

I do it. Sometimes I just want some quiet and don't want to talk to anyone. But I still like good food.

Did it today for lunch, in fact.

I have never been comfortable eating out by myself. That is odd for me because I am really independent and I am introverted so doing things by myself is usually something I love. I almost always see movies by myself. Not sure why eating out is different for me.
