My, this sparked a lot of discussion.

When I worked at a company, I used lunch as a chance to go out into the sun and maybe meet a random nice girl. Don't date people at work, they say ... and they're probably right. Sometimes I would invite my co-workers to a new place. Why eat in the same cafeteria all the time?

I basically used lunch as a social building time. but that's just me, I'm kind of bored just eating by myself.
