I suppose our restaurant-going experiences must significantly differ. If I'm going to a restaurant with friends for social interaction, it typically doesn't involve the other people in the restaurant who just happen to be there at the same time as me.

If I wanted that, I would go to a bar instead, which is a separate conversation from the one we were having.

However, I don't think I would be so bold as to call either of our lifestyles 'broken'. That feels like a needless attack.
