Walking and eating is a recipe for indigestion at best, and food/drink all over your/a stranger’s clothes at worst.

barbaric

if that pic is the exemplar, it makes for a persuasive contrary argument

is that a seagull wearing a curly wig.

It’s a curly wig made out of very very moldy curly fries.

I have multiple stories from the past year of almost getting jumped while walking and eating pizza because people all wanted my pizza

Walking along eating a nice apple is a very fine thing. It’s hard not to feel a little jaunty, even.

And a kebab is an interesting thing to gesticulate with—you have to sort of lift on upturned palm and gesture outwards.

one time in Paris I was walking and eating a crepe late at night and this huge African dude came up and asked for a bite, I was confused and said no, then he grabbed it from me and left

that is actually the only time I have been a victim of a serious crime but I am still scarred by it, it was a delicious crepe

I ate a tangerine on the street in Buenos Aires and later read that that’s one of the easiest ways to announce to everyone that you are a tourist, because basically nobody there does it.

Walking home eating a chicken kebab after a night of student drinking once, got back and realised there was garlic mayonnaise all down the front of my long black coat.

xxp Cringe at the cunning of the crepe-y caped crepe criminal of Paris!

I did this in Japan once and was later told that it was considered to be in very bad taste. Nobody called me out on it at the time though.

That’s because calling people on bad taste in Japan is considered to be bad taste.

meta is also banned in japan

i once ate porridge out of tupperware walking to a talk i was late for

i can’t walk and eat cuz it takes all the enjoyment of the meal out cuz i have to concentrate to avoid choking

almost as barbaric as playing w/ yr fucking electronics while blocking the sidewalk

^^^ ugh this.

i p much resent any situation that makes me so hurried that i’m required to eat and walk at the same time, so “other”

being in that much of a hurry is to be avoided at all costs

It’s certainly the non-optimal approach, but I’ll do it without compunction on the rare occasion when called for.

xp Yes, last time I regularly had to eat and walk was while I was working as a field service tech. I never got a lunch break, and had to eat sandwiches/etc. while travelling between offices. Possibly I resent eating and walking so much as a result.

Terrible idea.... if it’s something an Aaron Sorkin character does regularly it’s got to be deadly for a real person.
