If I've missed any out just note them in the thread.
Please tick all the apply

What constitutes eating when on the bus or train? I will happily eat a snack. Rarely do I eat meals. Then again these days I don't use public transport.

90% of the time I eat at the kitchen table. It is bad for your digestion to sit scrunched up while eating. Well it is for me anyway.

At one point or another probably all of the above.
Breakfast (when I've got a working PC) is at the computer desk at home as I read news sites, etc before work. I guess it's the modern equivalent of reading the newspaper over breakfast. Work lunch tends to be at my desk. Evening meals tend to be on the dining table or balanced on the arm of the sofa depending on what else is happening at the time.

I think some of the options are pointless eg outside.
Breakfast - typically don't eat it. If I do, it's because I'm home and it's the weekend. In bed. Lunch - sometimes I'll eat and sometimes I don't. If at work, then am at the desk. If at home, either at the dinner table, or more typically in my room at my own desk. Dinner - usually at the dinner table. If not, it's either because I'm eating at a different time to everyone else eg 11pm (in which case it's in my room), or I'm out.
Sofa - I hate sitting on the sofa and eating. Maybe when i get my own place, it's what I'll do. Who knows? Prefer a table of some sort.
Cinema - typically will buy food there, provided I haven't already eaten. If I have, I might take a drink with me.
Bus - these days I rarely catch the bus and hence don't eat when I do. In the past, I would happily have popped into Greggs or similar on the way home and eaten on the bus provided it was relatively empty and I sat at the back alone. Wouldn't eat if someone was sat next to me. Unless it was a chocolate bar.
Trains - as for buses, don't usually catch. When i used to travel from uni to home, it would be a total 3.5 hr journey door to door and I frequently caught either the 1 pm or the 6 pm train. Earlier train meant I would buy lunch from the station and eat it on the train. If the later train, I might have a snack eg cereal bar/crisps/choc.
Along the street - maybe in the past. Rarely now.
Restaurants/fast food - what else do people do here if not eat?
Desk - as above
Canteen - even in hospital, this was rare for me. In my GP surgery, the receptionists go to the coffee room. So the doctors normally eat at their desks whilst working.

A lot of people eat lunches outside here at work and picnics & BBQs are common for a lot of people in the summer so not pointless at all.

Would "outdoors" be better than "outside"?

The Dining table is for more formal dinners Kitchen table for lunches at weekend Lap / tray in front of TV for the evening meals / snacks Bed - once in a blue moon when SWMBO brings me a cup of tea Cinema etc - the odd snack
naturally - all of them might be Pie!

Pretty much always at the dining room table, sometimes on a Saturday when we have Doctor Who we'll eat in the living room but usually with lap trays (and cats!) If we go to town we'll sometimes have a dirty sausage roll from Greggs and eat it while we walk. If we're on bus journeys we'll often take a little picnic, same with train journeys, we generally only do those long distances though and it's usually over a meal. I try not to eat lunch at my desk, I try to take a break every day and go for a walk and then eat my lunch in the cafe with my team, but sometimes it doesn't happen and I'll eat at my desk.

I sit at the kitchen table when the Brain Cell Trust aren't there, but consequently I'm more often in my room.
Recently I've been round the park with snacks. In work I eat at my desk. With friends fast food is the only way to fly.

That'd be the TV schedulers fault, not mine  Did you see what I did there? Did you? Did you!  Sent from my big ass Sony Xperia Z Ultra tabphonelet, using Tapatalk 4.
