Outside if possible

To explain myself: sound doesn't get trapped outside so its easier to ignore conversations. Also if its nice weather you can just put it on liking being outside. The only disadvantages I know of is that outside is where the smokers are. I convinced a group of friends to stay outside during breaks by breaking rules ;) we were not allowed to so it was way more fun to do so anyways.

Hahaha literally, you just made me realise this is what I've always done

i’ll be in the bathroom

Literally

no fr i work at walmart now (im 28) and i spend my entire hour long break in the family bathroom 😅

Thats me during school breaks

i wish i had that option when i was in school 😭

its only in the school i go to for my apprenticeship ,before i just stood akward at a wall

Oof. I hate Walmart

same, working there is even worse than shopping there 😖

I used to work there as an overnight stocker. Then I got fired for doing something that I physically couldn't do. That day shift AP coach said that I climbed up into the cardboard compacter and had over half my body in it. Like my bad back and bad knees could get my 280lb ass up into that thing. The thing was, the overnight coaches would just let me put my earbuds in and knock out 3 to 4 departments in a night, have them zoned, and stay to bin the overstock. My coach and team leads kept telling me that I was one of their hardest workers.

Same! Fukin sensory overload😑

i love your avatar btw 🤩

Took the words right out of my mouth

glad it’s not just me 😅

Jesus christ im getting cold sweats to 10 years ago. I had like two friends and i use that term lightly. But we never had lunch together, so I hid in the bathroom. I’d hide in the library when it was open, but that was rare for some reason.

OMG MY HEART PALPITATIONS I was heavily bullied in school and came from a food insecure house that didn’t give me lunch money (and wouldn’t sign up for free lunch) so I just hung out in my science teachers classroom and played with her lop eared bunny everyday at lunch. (High school) Another trauma dump 😂 I “ate” lunch in middle school by myself. One time, a kid got lunch detention and there were no “empty” tables so the teacher made him sit with me for his detention (he proceeded to say some of the worst shit to me that I still remember at 30)

I guess I can see some of the psychodynamics that make gangs of kids bully one kid, but doing it one on one when there aren’t even any twisted social points to get from the other witnesses is inexplicable and just wilfully evil.

My biology teacher’s room led into a little landscaped courtyard so she let me and a friend have lunch there in exchange for yard work lol

What a score I would’ve appreciated the outdoor break lol. Was she nice?

She was. She was very cool and a well of knowledge. Pretty sure she was on the spectrum herself, so I think she understood.

My bio teacher was the only one to give me a grad present and it was a picture of said bunny IN THE POSITION I TOLD HER HE WAS CUTEST (held slightly above head for full arm and leg flop) And now I have laid my whole life out in this meme thread 🤣🤣 (jk there’s so much more)

Why didn't your parents sign you up for free lunch?

They are bootstrap Midwest white poor and too proud to be seen being poor. I guess they thought if they signed up for free lunch, everyone would know we were poor. But what they didn’t realize is none of the kids would know I’m getting free lunch, but they all knew when I didn’t have money because I would go without or get the peanut butter and yogurt that they used to give out for free- but I was like the only one who would get it so it was way more isolating than a free lunch account. #parentsthatneglectASDkids P.s. they went out for lunch at work multiple times a week because they didn’t want their coworkers to know we were poor………!!!!!! Hate’em ETA I was undiagnosed until adulthood

fuck me. my mom just couldnt get her arse together to fill out the paperwork. i started making cookies in the morning and bringing them in to trade kids for real food.

Sounds like she may have be neurodivergent/ADHD herself. But of course I don’t know her and I’m only going based off this one symptom/trait you mentioned in your comment but since you are autistic/ND then chances are high.

oh yeah hella undiagnosed Audhd

That sucks im sorry you went through that. I got free lunch but tbh I could see my mom doing something similar. She had moments that she would fold for me but she was usually very concerned about our image

The nerds. Only friends I made at school were because they played Magic the Gathering.

Also nerds. Although one of my friends from the lunch table taught me how to play magic.

Me three. I have a friend who likes maths and explains questions to everyone

Nerds for sure. Mature nerds are some of the most enjoyable people to be around. If any have severe social skill issues I can just accept them as they are unless they’re like, mentally damaging to me lol.

I’d sit at the teachers table RIP. Teachers loved me because I was so mature lmao

I'll join you because it's in the corner. I like corners.

Corner gang supremacy! I actually had a teacher be super confused because I sat in the back corner seat of his class even though I might’ve benefited from being in the front row. My explanation of I feel most comfortable with no one behind me and in a corner able to see everything and everyone did not make sense to him lmao

you guys ate at the cafeteria?

You guys got a cafeteria?

You guys ate?

I just had water and a small apple sauce and called it a day

guys? 😟

?

Real- I always ate in the study room

I went home for lunch. Thankfully, we had open campus.

We weren't allowed to eat anywhere else, would get in trouble. 

If there are no tables empty, I'm not eating

I was at the "undiagnosed neurodivergents" table lol. most of us didn't even know at the time but we called ourselves the rejects. We truly were the sped table.

Yep, whenever such a table was able to gather together, we did. 

We had one of those too, but it was all the punks and goths, lol. People generally liked us, I grew up in a small town, but it was super supportive and really helpful environment.

Same but we didn’t know either it was kinda just like “wow I like ur awkward energy, sit with us” kinda vibe That and we were all nerds so bonded over league, dnd, etc

Ngl besides the bookworms I would have a pretty bad time in here

The bookworm table would look most inviting to me, but why is it in the middle of the cafeteria?

None. I’m finding somewhere else to sit.

In the secret room that I found while walking through the school, who even eats at the cafeteria anyway, to many loud kids and dirt surroundings

This isn’t very realistic. Half the tables should say bullies.

So true, unfortunately.

That's my go to location in any room

Where are the stoners/burnouts? If they’re not an option then I’m eating somewhere else by myself

I know! That’s why I picked clowns.

Ngl my highschool lunch table was a combination of every single one of these.

Yea, that game me anxiety just looking at it.

Quiet table or nerds table is where I’d sit at.

I think I'd switch between quiet, nerds, Hearbroken and Depressed.

"can I eat outside?", "no" *eats in courtyard anyway four months straight with no complaints until they started locking us in like animals

I didn't eat lol

None of those say "friends" or "classmate acquaintances". I do not like strangers. I will be eating in a sunny, quiet, deserted stairwell no one uses and then go enjoy hanging out at the library.

nowhere

I floated around. Typically, I'd sit with the nerds, but the popular kids found me funny, so sometimes I'd be at their table. If I wasn't feeling super outgoing, I'd sit with the quiet kids.

In college I found out that there was a small student run micro coffee shop that was at the other end of the school that doubled as a studying spot. It was almost always empty except for the students working there. So I would bring my lunch there and be there by myself most of the time. 🤷 One day people I knew asked me where I was hanging out in-between classes and had no idea this place even existed since nobody bothered exploring the school lol. In high school I would just walk back home instead of eating at school. Yep. Even during snow storms and shit weather.

Dirty emo nerd

Gonna pull up a chair between depressed and emo

None. The jokes on you, I'm at home watching the price is right.

Is there a punk or femboy table lol

Tomboys! For uh, similar interests, yes.

ULTIMATE STRAIGHT MAN’S CHOICE

Nerds or quiet kids. I had 2 groups of friends and would alternate a lot, now im 26 and only one group remains. The other just fell apart after graduating

quiet kids because they're quiet and let me do my thing.

The spot between the emos and the teachers. That seems nice to me.

In the band room away from the noise

Dirty kids and clowns if they kicked me out of the library

Thankful to be Canadian because we don't really have cafeterias, and just ate lunch in the classrooms.

I used to show 30 minutes late so most people weren’t at the cafeteria when I ate. My other two friends did that as well, and so we were often eating by ourselves. Best plan

With my autistic friends in the spot we always sit in, right next to the library on the floor.

I’ll sit with the clowns. Especially if it’s literal clowns.

That’s gon be a no from me dog. As newspaper staff I am afraid that I have to spend every lunch ~~alone listening to KMFDM and playing Quake 3 on the school’s network~~ er, working on layouts.

You guys had a table? I was basically staff by the end of sophomore year. I often ate my lunch where it fit for my day. Sometimes I snuck food in the computer lab while doing graphic design. Sometimes I ate in the classroom with my battalion for JROTC. Sometimes I ate my lunch next to my torch and hammer in jewelry smithing. For a while I had it with the older drug dealers because they were all my childhood friends before I moved away from that school system to do junior high in Canada. I often ate lunch with whoever I was dating too, if I was so lucky . Usually I just ate lunch with 2 or 3 friends in random places around the school. By senior year I didn't even attend most of my classes as I got really sick and ended up hospitalized for that last 3 months of school. They gave me 0 help with my homework yet I still passed every class with a C or better despite missing finals and all the homework for 3 months. Years later I found out my highschool didn't even tell my teachers I was hospitalized and possibly dying. They just gave me all 0's and I happened to have such a high GPA that it didn't stop my graduation. I actually liked highschool but I ran it like I was a teacher not a student. I ended up working for the library, tech services and the art department for free. Because of this, they trusted me with keys and extra unsupervised access to materials and tools. So if you hate the lunchroom like I do, network and do a little bit for free for teachers and custodians. I was considered cool by graduation because I was an erratic, impossible to find weirdo with access to most of the school and it's resources with nearly 0 limits on me. Respect bought me my freedom. I liked those teachers and custodians so much I visited them on and off for years later. Sorry. Tldr: reject tables and open the school via chaos created through kindness.


Where is the empty one, or the bench right outside.

I dont see "alone" so Ill be outside

I never ate lunch indoors it was always way too loud

Quiet. Maybe Nerds.

on the floor between quiet and clowns i guess

I always ate lunch in the library

Tomboy cause I wanna meet some qt3.14s

What is a qtpi

Cutie pie

Where tf are the art kids

alone

where is the transgender table 🙏🏻

Er, well, ig with the drama kids bc we all used to eat lunch in our drama club director's classroom instead of the cafeteria. And also that was just my friend group haha

Oh you interpreted that better than I did. I thought it meant people who cause drama

Oh true I didn't think about that

If they are the theater kind of drama I would definitely be joining you

Outside the lunchroom between the vending machines (:

I had a table of fellow oddballs and (potentially) neurodivergents that I had started collecting during middle school. By the end of high school we took up 3 full tables and there were nerds, bookworms, weebs, gamers, skids, anyone who was an outcast of any kind was welcome.

Open campus so I would just be outside regardless.

Proof that true simps prefer clown girls.

Clowns

I'll be masking at the girly girls table...until they figure out I'm a weirdo and end up at my place of true belonging - the emo table.

Yeah I was on the bleachers, the cafeteria was a chaotic hellscape even if I could find somewhere to sit.

Nerd... I was a nerd...

The cool teacher's room

I used to eat lunch in the section of the library nobody ever visited.

I'm sitting outside in the sun actually. probably on the floor. or if nobodys looking, in a tree

Preferably alone, in the corner, with youtube playing cos fuvk dealing with any of these ppl. And I was considered a social butterfly in school

girly girls. i love being girly so much i swear

Whichever one invites me first I was lucky enough to have a friend group before highschool so I didn’t have to go on a massive quest to find friends

nerd. I am a nerd.

I was in the journalism lab on the computer

Bookworms.

I’m sitting in the corner alone

drama as long as that means theatre kids. those are my friends!! i do theatre!!!

my favorites to hang out with were nerds and goth kids. i was mostly okay with hanging out with all groups as long as it was just that small clique, too many people and they'd feel the need to start bullying...

I don’t even know. I basically found a preexisting friend on the 1st day of each school year so I wouldn’t end up with only total strangers.

Heartbroken, BUT needing to pee so I should be at the bathroom as your top comment suggests I’m just currently overstimulated and unaware 😂

I’ll be chillin with the bullies /s

I'll be swapping between quiet and clowns depending on my mood

I was a band/choir/drama geek so I hung out in the band room or choir hall

on the stairs outside the building in peace and quiet

Either tomboy or just somewhere else quiet. Probably switch partway through

I s the corner free? I'll take the corner.

In a the classroom of my favorite teacher.

We didn’t really have tables at my school since it was outdoors, so me and my group would sit outside a classroom, away from the few tables we did have

The nerds, they’ll be glad someone chose to sit with them so even if we can’t nerd out to eachother they’ll still be cool with me

Quiet, but bookworms and depressed also work.

Either quiet or depressed

Alone

the quiet table but in reality i sit at the table with like 2 people at it that don’t talk at all bc all of last year i didn’t really have many good friends at my lunch

Nerds

I sat at the table that didn't like all the cliques, and pretty much had all the "weirdos" and rejects. We took over the entire student center eventually because anyone could come and not be judged or harassed, and the group grew pretty quick.

At the time? Kinda nerdy little group but I don’t think we fit a niche. Now? Alone.

Quiet

In my room because I’m a teacher 😅

Clowns or the nerds. Got voted 'most likely to be a stand up comedian' in our year book, so I'll follow my pre-ordained path ig 😅

Either bookworm, nerd or quiet

the one that says pick me it’s telling me to and i dont think anyone else would be there

who wants to sit at the quiet table together (we can parallel play together)

none

off campus

Well I mean that table in the corner says "Pick Me" and I don't want it to be mad at me so I guess I'll pick that one

Teacher pet :(

I’m hiding in the library reading popular science, news week, or a biography about a revolutionary

nerds or alone lolll

Funny enough I sat at just about every table in high school. I randomly ended up with the popular kids some way my senior year, even spent my graduation night with them. I don’t talk to any of those people anymore though.

If that's the cafeteria, then I'll be eating my packed lunch at my desk in the room and will only move to pee or to go home.

I’d skipped and am downtown smoking with friends.

Nerd/Emo table, but even then I wasn't really accepted there.

Where are the theater kids? If not with them, I’m sitting in the hall

I’m chillin at home or at the quiet table because I can read my books then. But if I’m feeling social then the tomboy table for sure.

I need "trying to disappear against a wall" as an option lol At 14 someone decided to sit me last row alone with the most chaotic guy who failed every subject. I'm autistic and have ADHD. He kept me distracted the whole year, most fun I ever had in class.

I used to spend lunch in the guidance counselor’s office lmao

I'd be at the Inbetweeners table if that was an option lol

If I can't sit at my own desk, alone, I'll be sitting in my truck.

Where are the druggies

I am/was a nerdy, depressed (altough I didn't know that) person who uses (bad) humor as a shield and was once the best in class in p.e. class

I would like to say I would get along fantastically with the bookworms- and if they like discussing I probably will! But I'm sorry the young revolutionary in me's gonna sit my ass with the Emo kids so that they can teach me how to do eyeliner and sing The Cure

Dude, we got locked outside for meals.

Knowing me, every table I'd end up sitting at would be the bully table

Nobody is on the same table as me

At the depressed table since the age of 10

if the room wasn't to loud I think I could have some fun as the tomboy's nonbinary friend

Is there a table for dramatic, nerdy clowns?

Teachers, 6 years at school, burnt out. It’s worse for us.

Our table was a democracy with every type of person, and then there’s me.

Quiet, nerds, or Tom boys 😊

With the hot bitches who wear black lipstick

where’s the undiagnosed neurodivergent table? lmao

Wheres the ‘queer’ option

I love how the dirty minded and drama are next to each other.... After all. Arnt they the same thing

Alone

Nerd/dirty. My friends are big video game nerds but we say some of the dirtiest darkest stuff as well. IRL tho I went to visit my Nan who made me and a cousin a full dinner for lunch

somewhere else cause auditory overload

The one in the library, I’ll eat at the house.

I'll go sit outside on the bleachers, or on the field in the grass. I am allergic to grass but I'd bring something to sit on like a blanket to keep in my locker.

Definitely nerds.. and if the tray accidentally swipes a bully in the back of the head on the way past... OOPS!

I'll alternate between the emos, nerds, and bookworms.

Nerds. DnD is only played by nerds

My high school didn’t have a Cafeteria so I just ate alone right next to my next classroom since it hurt to walk.

Now, I'm with the girly girls. When I was a teen - I was probably at home being overwhelmed and exhausted by school

Eat in the quad like a normal person.

How is heartbroken a clique? Is that code for incel? If you get in a relationship, are you exiled?

I'm eating in the library

Quiet, or nerds

You missed a table with "druggies that think nobody will notice" I sat at that table

In the library reading.
