I'm driving my brother to an oral surgeon because he has to get work done and can't drive home himself after the procedure. Going to have 2 hours to kill but don't want to be too far away in case something happens or they finish early. There is a Chinese buffet across the street from the place. So my question is this gaf, would it be strange to go to a buffet and eat alone?

Eat it up. Destroy it. Look the older patrons in the eyes as you devour your feast.
Yeah, why would that be weird? Don't get it.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I personally don't like dining anywhere alone where I have to sit down so I understand how you feel OP. Buffets are on the fringes of that for me, so I'd sooner eat there alone than a proper sit down restaurant. I say go for it.

This right here
I've gotten to an age where I don't really care what anyone thinks about any aspect of my life.

As long as you don't start moaning with pleasure while eating the spareribs I think your good.

Buffets are actually better suited for solo eating than regular restaurants because there's no downtime between courses.
You can pig out and be out of there in like 20 minutes.

Yes, but weirdness means chances and jolly merrymaking.

Eating at a Buffet. Never!!! Buffets shouldn't exist, it's a den of gluttony and waste for those who belong in the third circle of hell! It's not weird... it's evil.

Get a Togo box, fill up and eat in your car. Enjoy your lunch with a little Rush Limbaugh.

you can't put a price on sparks
if you get up to get more food, since no one else is sitting there, your seat might be taken as you are waiting in line to get more food.

Usually when people ask if something is weird to do alone, the answer is no. Only insecure people care. Just go to what you wanna do.
For instance, I love seeing movies alone on a sunday morning.

Yep. All of this. I travel alone and often do everything alone. Who gives a shit? You do you, homey.
Apparently a lot of people on GAF thing it's weird to do anything alone. Apparently they need a crowd with them 24/7.
Huh, I work for a dentist, and eat at the local buffet by myself a couple times a month. Please don't tell me it's weird. I don't have to pack a lunch, and it's as good as, and cheaper than the local restaurants.
Go to the library if you want to feel conspicuous for a few hours.

I really don't pay attention to what other people are doing in their booths.
Just don't steal my food off the buffet line when I'm eyeing it.

i remember going to a dennis after driving around 8 hours from LA to SD (got one of those awesome 405 shitfests) and then they were fixing something around san onofre, so ...
but when i got to the dennis, i sat down, ordered some food, kinda stared out the window and the dude helping me with my order asked me "are you ok?" and i was like wtf yes i am, then he started making small chit chat and even a random lady came and sit to eat with me.
I felt miserable because of driving, not with myself

He didn't say he was going to clap before he eats. The buffet thing by itself is totally fine.
I seen dudes go into buffets solo....go for it breh.
