    Of course, they can then just carry on a conversation with the folks in the next booth.

    Good point. It's like airplanes. The little kids stand on the seats and stare you down and you feel like you're supposed to entertain them or something.

    I'm right handed, but I eat with my left hand, so I feel your pain because I'm always bumping up next to the righties. I need to go out to eat with left-handed friends more often.

    Tables all the way. I need to be leaner but it seems in most booths I have to sit really upright because I am tall.

    I like being able to kick back a bit and reposition the chair.

    The dude in the background always bugged me. STOP LOOKING AT THE CAMERA!
    They should have had someone sitting with him to fake a conversation.

    That's me, too. I just sit on the side that keeps my left hand away from whoever's next to me. In a booth this often means bumping up against a wall, but after a certain amount of time you get used to these things.

    I go with a booth for a number of reasons. The wobbly chair thing (of course, if the booth table is wobbly, that's a major problem) and in a booth you don't have other people - wait staff, customers - walking by and bumping into you. In my estimation it reduces the chance you'll have a drink spilled on you.

    So much better for client discussions; also when I was single it was more intimate.

    But it allows you to discreetly feel each other's inner thighs.
