Ever ate a meal while walking down the street?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not coordinated enough to eat and walk at the same time lol!
I have sat on the stoop on the street though. I could probably handle a slice of pizza or hot dog to eat while walking yet i can only imagine i make a mess with the food...
I could barely eat while driving. It's hard for me. I'm not the best multitasker at all.

Sometimes i get frustrated with my food if it gets away from me or for other odd eating reasons so it's best i stay seated to eat.

Same here

I'm no good at multi-tasking

Stuff which needs a fork/chopsticks - no I don't, I'd probably just drop the food or walk into someone since I'm not paying attention to my surroundings (in fact I find it annoying when other people do that or related things like playing with their phone whilst walking and almost running into me). The pavement's usually too crowded as well. But simple stuff I can eat by just using my hands are okay as I can still pay attention to my surroundings.

Not a whole meal, but yes I have eaten while walking before.

I can't walk and eat at the same time. Or walk and drink at the same time. Not enough coordination.

I would find that a hassle to do but I can eat things like candy as I am walking or drinking (Not booze) or have a corn dog or a elephant ear, or popcorn, ice cream, pizza. I just can't imagine carrying a plate and do it. I just stop to take a bite so i would rather sit and eat.

Nope, because then there would be an entirely new thread.... Ever worn your meal while walking down the street?

I wouldn't be able to do it.. Just too hard to do so many things at once like that

I hate eating and moving. I hate eating anywhere that does not have a surface for food.

I did recently eat a hot dog and drink some Dr. Pepper while walking, but I had to sit down before I got very far because juggling things is asking for an accident. The hot dog also had no condiments.

no! gaad no! I do have another preference that is seen as weird though. If the food is in small bits (like for instance 'sweet n sour') I eat with spoon rather than fork because it's way easier.


I don't like eating when walking. When I order takeaway I take it home (if I buy at the one close to my home) or eat it somewhere I can sit as undisturbed as possible. I hate being watched whatever I do and especially eating.

I do this because of Executive Dysfunction I think. Like, poor management of needs combined with time and appropriateness and co-ordinating several different needs all at once (e.g. food plus walking somewhere etc.)

I do that all the time. I suppose it makes me look kind of weird but I'm just too impatient.

I want to eat off my plate while in line putting other stuff on it at a buffet. But I don't because I don't see them doing it. Stupid huh? Next time I'll do so if I have the urge. It's not like I'm going to get arrested by the buffet police.

As for eating a completed meal while walking down the street... That would be a recipe for disaster for me. Something would be bound to go horribly wrong. I have enough trouble eating sitting still at a table without spilling things and knocking things over. Plus I'd probably end up plowing into a lamppost or something.

When I'm going somewhere for a while, I inevitably want to get there as soon as possible. That means either no stops to eat or a really quick stop to eat. Usually no stops to eat.

I'll typically stop at a Subway Sandwich Shop and get a sandwich and then eat it while driving down the highway. I can't manage it in town so I wait until I'm out of town.

I'd love to have enough money that I could hire a driver. I don't mind driving short distances but I really hate to drive long distances. In the last thirteen or fourteen years, the longest trip I've made was 100 miles each way. Most years I don't get more than about 30 miles from home.

I lived in the Houston, Texas area through the 1980s and a little into the 1990s. Part of that time I was a computer consultant. One day I was going to a customer's office in Galveston, Texas to do some work on their computer. Since I hadn't eaten yet, I stopped and got a sliced barbecue beef sandwich to go in League City, Texas and then tried to eat it while driving. Every time I tried to take a bite of it while driving, the slices of barbecue beef would slide out onto my lap. I only managed to actually eat about two bites of the sandwich by the time I got to Galveston and so I ended up eating the sandwich in the parking lot at the customer's site. I also had a big mess of barbecue sauce all over my lap. Fortunately, I was doing the work after hours and the only one there was the office manager.

I never tried to eat a sliced barbecue beef sandwich while driving again.
