Well, I always do specially when the things I am working on need to be done ASAP? I will eat while working. It is just hard thing to concentrate hahaha.. I sometimes put in my mouth the things I am holding while working.. haahha Funny!! but true. It's really confusing specially when I am in a hurry to finish my work? I sometimes laugh at myself, really funny when I put my pen in my mouth thinking that it's the spoon I am using hahahah.. Did somebody experience this? You are in a hurry to finish your work and you don't want to stop working and since you are hungry, you will eat while working? Just curious to hear your story.

Hello Bebs08! I do experience eating while working on something. When I was still in college, I have to finish something but I was too hungry too that I ate while holding a pen. It's quiet hard because honestly, I can't concentrate.

Lol. I agree that it is really hard to concentrate when you work and eat at the same time. But there are times that I want to finish my work right away specially when I am beating the deadline. Have a nice day.

I haven't tried eating a full meal in front of the computer or while working. During those times when I am too busy and catching up a schedule I would just grab a bite full of sandwich, biscuits or at times a bar of chocolate just to fill up my hunger. You are very funny friend. imagine eating the pen for you mistook it as a spoon. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

It's is so hard for me to concentrate with what I am doing if I'd eat. Certainly I'd be doing same as yours, putting the pen instead of the fork on my mouth. Ha!ha!ha! Also whenever I eat, I want to enjoy my eating so I really put down my work first and take my ow sweet time in eating.

Well, hahaha.. it is funny my friend but I used to do that specially when I am alone. But when hubby is eating with me, of course I will stop working.. I don't feel good eating alone on the table so, I will on my desk while working. cheers!!!!

Yes I did, when I was still working in the house keeping job. It was so much of a hectic schedule because we have to finish certain number of houses in a day that we didn't really have enough time to have any breaks even for eating. So what we usually did was eating while in the car; yes we ate while the car was running for the next destination. That was my first time doing that and I cannot even believe I have done it.

Hahaha It is also normal for me eating in the care specially if we will go to our appointment early in the morning. I take my breakfast with me and eat in the car. Good that I am the one driving and I can concentrate eating. Lol.
