Yes, I do that sometimes eating while working... specially when I'm running out of time and the deadline is just a tick away... OMG you can't force me to leave my PC and have a dinner. My husband bring me foods on my table... love you hon!

We sit in front of the TV. On a couch, eating off the coffee table, watching our favourite programme.... our dinning table is there in the dinning room to look pretty, we never use it.

my situation's different... i'm always in our dining area and the laptop is always on top of our dining table, hahaha. my husband calls the chair that i use my "throne" cause everytime we chat when he's away, he sees me at the exact same spot always!

While browsing for topics to reply, this post caught my attention since I was munching my way to a hefty dinner in front of my laptop. I guess everyone who replied here are guilty of doing just that.. eating in front of the PC/laptop. It's just so convenient having something to eat while reading mails, doing myLot, watching videos, etc. I'm into multi-tasking and I'm also watching T.V. at the same time.

i think its ok to do that once in a while, but my problem is even during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the laptop is on top of our dining table. i dont like it because somehow i'm disrespecting the food in front of me. and that's why i try to minimize this bad habit. just want to know if there are those who suffer this "internet addiction" too. hehehe cheers to you as well!

Every now and then I'll eat while working on the computer, but it's rare. It sounds to me as though you're too attached to your computer. Do you not have any other interests?

No, when I eat, I will be away from my laptop due to several reasons. Firstly, I won't want to dirty my laptop with bits and pieces of food from my plate, and secondly, I can't really do two things at a time.

i don't do two things at a time too... so i take a bite first, then a look at the screen next. hehehe. just playing. but yup, sometimes i also think i should be more careful because i have a white laptop too and it can easily get dirty.

I frequently eat or snack as I'm working at the computer. I worry sometimes about spilling something, but so far I haven't (crosses fingers) and it's way too convenient so I don't see myself stopping, very through I know it's risky for my machine.

Hi, evepin. I am also so guilty of this too. I eat many things when I am on the laptop. I will have to stop being so lazy. Now, that we have a new kitchen table, I will sit down here to eat.

Not all the time but sometimes, when I need to get a work done urgently. I ate being in front of the computer a few times. But yes, I think it's not healthy looking at the computer and concentrating on it. I know one of my friend that always does like that. Eating being in front of a computer every once in a while is ok, but everytime is not good I think. At least it's not TOO bad comparing to other stuffs most does like smoking and drinking while eating.

when i live alone i used to eat infront of my computer for me of not to feel alone. but when i transferred to my sister house, we all eat together in the table though theres tv set in the kictchen so we can watch while eating, its so nice to eat together as i can eat a lot and i feel that im not alone in this world. its like, even though you dont have appetite to eat if your surrounded with other people you will not realize that you already eat a lot.

I eat meals while working on my laptop all the time. I have even noticed that I can do a lot more things left handed now that were difficult before. I guess that's because I can't keep my right hand off the mouse and therefore I am becoming ambidextrous. Perhaps I need an intervention. LOL

No, I usually don't eat in front of my computer while connected, but a cup of coffee next to my computer is a habit I usually take care off when I connect to internet. So in the meantime I write or read, a bit of coffee is a nice break evern from the computer.
