How do you stop people at a restaurant bar from talking to you?

I'm out of town quite a bit, therefore, I find myself eating at restaurants alone quite often. As always, I eat at the bar so I don't look too pathetic.

Now, how the hell do I keep these other pathetic losers from talking to me? I don't care what you are in town for, I just want to drink my beer, and eat my goddamn meal, and go back to my hotel room to play on the internet. Stop talking to me fat, bald guy from Tennessee. No, I don't want to pictures of you dumb son's car he just rebuilt.

It happens every time. I sit in the corner. I always wear a scowl on my face. I never make eye contact, yet there you are, Lonely Larry from Missouri in town for try to sale your pathetic little contraption that nobody will buy.

 

I always sat at a table, I didnt care howpathetic I looked.....no one would or could talkmto me.

 

only way to avoid it is sit at your own table

 

Do I order 2 drinks so people think the other person is in the bathroom when I sit at the table?

Or do I just fake phone calls the entire time so I look really important?

I need to know this.

 

I'd definitely sit at my own table. I'm not a big fan of listening to people's life story either

 

Only if you talk obnoxiously loud with a bluetooth in

 

....Drive-thu...

Quote of the year........hahahahaahaahaahahaahaha!

 

Don't want to sound cruel saying this... but you've got to have a good-enough self image to not care what others think of you sitting alone at a table by yourself. Perhaps that's why people at bars think they can talk to others (Well, if he didn't have the self image to sit at his own table and felt like he had to sit nearby me, then he must want to talk to me then...)

Get a table. Sit down by yourself and enjoy your quiet meal.

Or PM someone from Bowhunting.com and let them know you'll be in town and see if they want to go meet you for dinner.

 

Bars are for meeting people and conversations.

Take out, carry out, room service is for lonely *******s who don't like to interact with other human beings

If i were you, id just tell them to get the hell away, especially if your never going to see them again.

 

Just put a biohazard sticker on your forehead.

 

It has nothing to do about my self image. It has everything to do about being bored sitting a 4 person table alone. I can only play on my phone for so long. The bar will usually always have a TV.

 

I'm 6'6" and weigh 350 lbs and apparently always look like I'm angry. People typically leave me alone regardless of where I sit.

If they're drunk and bump into me, I always get the, "Whoa, sorry bro. My bad, I didn't mean it."

I'm really just a goofball though.

 

I guess it is just my good looks. Men, women, whatever Sarah Jessica Parker is, all just feel compelled to talk to me.

 

1. Pretend to be deaf.

or

2. Get takeout.

 

They're good samaritans... they feel sorry for you.

 

Then if it's all about the t.v., tell them you're interested in watching the show and don't want to be interrupted.

Or... eat at a table quickly and get back to the hotel room quicker and watch t.v. in peace...

Beyond that, I got nothing. Be rude to them or eat by yourself at a table. Not too many other options.
