Eating alone in a restaurant

Many things to be considered when I decide to dine alone(or simply fill my stomach), but always, hunger comes first to those many other thoughs so I often found myself complaining everything about the restaurant I randomly choose. I've been eating alone since 2003 in at least 5 cities in the world but it's not a record. 

When I'm with other person whether she/he is my intimate or not, I am willing to go even TGI. Yes I don't mind eating this greasy TGI lunch set, and TGI seems to be the place for more than two people. 

When Im with my dish of *anything* and a cup of water, a spoon-chopstick set, with no TV or book or anything caught my eyes on, my animal instinct emerges. Egg smells fish, the cup is fish too, rice isnt fully cooked, spot a chili powder on the spoon. I can even see how these ingredients been kept in the kitchen. Then I desperately try to move my attention on other thing, (oh I am hungry I wanna finish it without vomitting) background music starts bothering me. The playlist is up to the owner of the place so I have nothing to say if this owner wanted this song to be heard. But I don't think they put on their favorate songs in their place. It seems like they put something 'people may like' on the playlist, otherwise It can't be explained why all the restaurant owners have such bad taste on music.

Well, please don't think you know what others 'may' like. You only know what you like. and even this is not easily atteinable knowledge. 

So I put on my earphone, heard this song while eating gyudong(牛丼) today.
