I have been looking at a lot of pictures on here. It seems a lot of people eat in front of their computers. Am I right in thinking that?

I normally eat at the dinner table and at a stretch on the coffee table in front of the TV.
 
I sometimes have lunch at the pc, but that's about it. Seems wrong.

I hardly ever eat at the table, plate on lap in the living room :D
 
Very very rarely do I eat in front of the pc (Prob less than 5 times ever!)

Did tonight, but that was because I was treating it as a tv and watching the champions league semi finals on it.
 
I live on my own and don't have a proper dining table. As I use my pc as my main media player and have a large desk at the right height I'll tend to eat meals on my own there. With other people then it tends to be on the settees sing a large coffee table to put stuff on.
 
Kitchen table with housemates every evening, sometimes in front of tv if there's a film on or we're having a takeaway.

I think it's pretty sad that people can't put down WOW/Iplayer for 10 minutes so they can enjoy their food properly!
 
Only if I'm in the middle of an important cup/match so I can't really leave, and only if it's something like pizza that I can take a bite from in between rounds.
 
If I on my own I may use the laptop at the dinner table, but sitting in front of my main pc then this is only really done when having lunch.
 
I eat and drink in front of mine. I have ruined no less than 5 keyboards with alcohol spillages, including one time when I dropped a shot of black sambuca into it.
 
When I was a student living in halls I would eat lunch in front of my PC because there wasn't anywhere else except for my lap. At home (and now I am in a student house during term time) I don't 9and wouldn't) eat anything more than a small snack at my desk.
 
If it's something like a Pizza then I'll eat it front of the PC and put on some Youtube or Blip vids so I have something to watch while eating my Pizza... :)

If it's something a little more involved like a curry or something I can spill all over my keyboard I'll probably eat it somewhere else...

I'd like to add that when I'm at home with my family during the summer I eat all my meals at the dining table, and when in student halls last year I ate in the common room or kitchen as it was a very sociable atmosphere.

I don't like really eating alone, and in this unfortunately household thats often the case. Eating in front of the PC is the next best thing, at least you can read/watch something and have some music on.

Funny that :cool: My pc is my tv, hence why i eat infront of it.
 
If I'm on my own then I have the choice of eating my meal at a table and staring at the wall or eating infront of my PC. Much better repartee from the PC than the wall (although the wall and PC probably get on just famously).
 
If i'm home alone and making dinner for myself I do. Usually just to watch a programme on iplayer or something.

Otherwise always at the table with family.

Saying that as well, you can get iplayer on your PS3 so you could be watching iplayer on your TV anyway!
