Tales of annoyance

Today a little story on sending me pictures:
Sending me pictures is great! That could be all of it but I have to add some specifications: A friend of mine had the good idea to go through his old holiday photos and look for random people eating in the background. He actually found a very nice one of the parliament building in Oslo. His mistake was to assume that I would upload it right away. For several days I was thinking of a nice little background story maybe concerning Norway not being in the EU or maybe linking its former name "Christiania" to the Freetown Christiania in Kopenhagen, Denmark. But impatient as he is he annoyed me to such an extent that I find myself writing about how annoying annoyance can be...
So if anybody will be so kind and send me pictures as well please be patient or you will hear the same story once more...





Edit: First reaction to my post was denial of the impatient part but he sent me a funny joke I want to share with you (no connection to anything here whatsoever):

Two fish in a tank. One asks the other: "You know how to fire with this one?"

Legal stuff and strawberry cake

First of all I have to write some kind of legal notice:

I know that in some countries it is forbidden to publish photos of people without their consent (e.g. in Germany if there are less than 3 people in the picture). And not to forget that in the UK recently all photographers have become terrorists.

I also know that in the web national law is very hard to enforce and that nobody cares/knows about this blog.

BUT: If anyone finds his or her picture here and has no sense of humor feel free to complain at randompeopleeating@gmail.com (which is also the address for the rest of you to send the masses of pictures you have taken).

Ok, enough of this boring stuff, let's see some pictures (well, actually only one this time).
My friend (not sure if he would like to see his name here) who took the very first picture sent me another one. It was taken at a party he went to but he swore that he did not know the girl so I will count this as random.



Oh, and this was taken in Darmstadt, Germany where I happen to live.

Food on the water

I'm sorry I don't post more often, but I have a very limited supply of photos, so I would have to write a lot of nonsense without pictures and that is really not in anyones interest.

Now we go from asia back to europe where I usually dwell. I took those on the ferry from Helsinki (Finland) to Tallinn (Estonia). The quality is not the best because the whole ship was vibrating and I think the second guy suspected me of doing evil. See for yourselves:

Still need your help...

Ok, first of all I need more readers and contributors so please help there.

Now, as all the pics show irish people so far it's time to change location. Once around the world to the fascinating city of Macau. "Macau was both the first and last European colony in China." tells us the eternal wisdom of wikipedia. Also you find "the largest casino in the world as measured by total number of table games" there. See a connection there?

Anyway, people eat there as well. I have proof:





About the weird shapes: I had to turn them because as I was sitting at the table right next to hers it was kind of hard to get a nice shot without her killing me with her chopsticks...

Happy New Year

A happy new year to all of you!

I just used Google Earth to figure out where exactly I took the following pictures (which is hopeless because all parks in Dublin look the same from above) and discoverd that the whole city of Dublin can be seen with 3D buildings. Even small houses far off the city center. I am amazed...

So here we go: Some business guy eating a sandwich...





By the way: do you think I should crop pictures like those? Like this maybe:


Leave your comments and send me pictures please. I don't have many left... And tell all your friends about this blog so they can contribute as well.

Getting started

Long time no see. I told you I was taking this slow but 8 months is a long time even for me. But as nobody knows about this blog it doesn't really matter.
Anyway, I finally got the picture that started it all. So what better to do but start with it ;)
Lets see what blogger does with it...

The Idea

Hi there,
nowadays everybody needs to have a blog so now I give in to the pressure and start a new life as a proud blog owner.
I got the idea of doing this about 2 years ago when I was on holiday in Ireland. A friend of mine took a photo of someone eating in a restaurant. I don't know why but this picture got me thinking mainly about eating. I believe eating is something quite personal. That's why most people don't like being photographed during. This is where the internet comes in. Isn't the purpose of the internet showing embarassing or private incidents of anonymous people? In conclusion it is only logical to create a blog with pictures of random people eating.
As I told you I've had this idea for quite a while now and didn't do anything to fill this gap of useless information. Therefore you can imagine that I'm not the guy who gets things done immediately. You might wonder: How in the world is he going to maintain a blog that constantly needs new photos of people eating? Well, I think I can't so I am relying on the so-called "Web 2.0" meaning you people who might be as crazy as I am and who will send me pictures from all over the world.
To get this straight: I don't want pictures of you and your friends posing for a look-I-got-food-in-my-mouth-photo. There may be another blog for this. What I am trying to collect here are kind of food voyeurism pictures without being kinky. And please: Only photos you have taken yourself! Don't just google some.
So if you like my idea and want to be part of this new movement: Take you camera, go into town to the next restaurant or diner take a photo of some stranger taking a bite of whatever without him noticing (or he might think you are creepy) and send the photo to randompeopleeating@gmail.com Add a description where you took it and maybe a short background story if you like. Hope you are in and please post your opinion or any suggestions.

Thanks for your help
