    I personally don't think it's pathetic in any way. Go, enjoy the solitude.

    Eating alone in a restaurant is really only pathetic if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas Day. Or you're crying. Or it's Arby's.

    You suck! Loser!

    If you were at home, I'd be serious, since that is usually T-bone steak and horror movie night for me in that situation, but on the road, do what you need to do. BTDT. I'm usually the guy in a restaurant with an iPad and ear plugs watching a movie or, with a bluetooth keyboard, typing to asshats.

    These days there is much less stigma attached to dinning alone.

    Well, if it were me, I would have just cooked for myself and settled down to watch the TV programs that I like.

    Alone = Doordash, bourbon and YouPorn. Not necessarily in that order.
