Another useless poll.

I would go with never if not for the description. While quite frankly I am uncivilized and pathetic, I do sit down at the table and eat with which ever family members are awake or home at that time. We eat every dinner as a family, although sometimes due to scheduling that may be at 4:00.

Frankly, I am mystified as to why anyone would eat a meal at the sink. The possibility has never crossed my mind.

Anything crumbly that tends to explode when bitten gets eaten over the sink except if you have a dog...

The sink is just in the wrong place.
Eating in front of the TV/ computer is something I am guilty of. Heck I am eating lunch at the moment!!
If you have a breakfast bar/stools by the sink, whats wrong with that?
Now if you are trying to attack water melon, its the sink or out on the lawn.

Sometimes if I am in a rush. 2 granola bars plus a glass of milk.

Lately since the morning paper is getting dull I have been eating breakfast at my computer watching Southpark.

Being single, who cares?

The scenery is fantastic and it cuts down on cleanup time.

And if the mood hits, to hell with the hassle of getting dressed.

Me, nature and a fist of feed.

What more is there to life?

Might as well unwrap your fast food on top of the trash can

& when you have finished eating, you can walk out the back & get dressed under the clothes line. It works here in the summer, the nearest neighbor is 3 miles away!

Never. If alone I will read while eating. Occasionally I will eat if alone at the computer. Eating at the sink is unappetising.

Once about every three months. My wife makes this incredible stewed beef dish which is served over rice or pasta. It simmers for about three days (well it seems like it) and I can't resist sneaking in the the kitchen, ladling a splooch onto a tortilla, topping it with peppers and cheese, rolling it up and wolfing it down. There ain't NO way to avoid the "chin waterfall" effect so, it's over the sink I go.

A really good peach requires either the sink or a garden hose also.

I guess I'm just not fit for civilization!
