Do you eat while walking?

because in some countries it can be considered disrespectful. In our country though, you can see people eating while riding public transportation or walking especially if they are in a hurry and do not have time to actually sit and have a break.

If I am in a hurry I can walk along eating a piece of fruit or eat the contents of a bag of crisps. If I buy a pack of hot chips I sit down to eat them on a park bench. I wouldn't like to eat on public transport unless it was a long journey like all day or a half day. In Singapore I wouldn't eat while walking along. It wouldn't be accepted there you see. I respect other countries.

@lady1993 I will make sure we won't eat while walking along in Japan. We wish to respect their culture and way of living.

I was always taught to sit while eating or drinking, much I saw people eating while walking then throwing garbage in any place.

it wasn't that way before, actually. the only time we ate while in public transportation was on field trips (because the buses were contracted to ferry the students, teachers, companions) and on provincial trips to our parents' hometown.

@hereandthere yeah, it irritates me that people do not know how to throw their trash properly even if the bin is just a few meters away

Never. I find it rude. I like to sit like a lady when I eat. I noticed lots of eating and walking when in Paris.

@DianneN Have you ever been to a fair? Man, it's good times, and most foods are made for walking an eating.

i think it depends on the country,, i mean . habits , actions and behaves are different in all countries ... in turkey you can see some people who are eating sesame bread and walk.. just snacks maybe.. in japan its impossible to see that kind of actions.. personally i don't like people who eats and talks at the same time.. its really disgusting!!!
