Stupid pet peeve

I don't know why this drives me so nuts, but I think it's the height of rudeness to be a lone person in a restaurant sitting at a table a 4.

I've noticed it 2 days in a row where, in a crowded campus eatery at the height of the lunchtime rush, there are a couple of individuals or pairs sitting at booths or tables meant for 4.

I have no clue why this bugs me so much. Perhaps it's because I couldn't find a table when I was with a large group the other day!

Ok, rant over...
