The Art of Eating Alone.
The art of eating alone is a delicate craft rarely gifted naturally, but built up painstakingly through time and and grit. It requires thick skin and a nonchalant air with a complete disregard for any other human life forms in the vicinity. I myself, being of very thin-skinned construction, have only recently attained EAP(Eating Alone in Public) Level 2 which includes an upgrade from eating to-go food in the car to eating alone in fast food places, though this is restricted to lunches only.
Though a measly Level 2 (Highest level: 20), it still took me great amounts of strategamizing to get to this point, the greatest of all the tactics in my EAP arsenal being what I call:
THE GLAZE.
Instead of suffering and darting your eyes around trying to find a resting place for your gaze for the duration of your sammich, just look straight ahead, unfocus your eyes, and let em just naturally glaze over. You will immediately look deep in thought and be instantly free to eat with no awareness of anyone around you! J'AMAZING!
Sidenote: The unseemly side effect of looking like a total creep may possibly most likely definitely will occur.
