Are you okay with people eating lunch at their desk?

I don't care either way. It's not always the best choice due to getting crap on paperwork, or in their keyboard, but that's not my problem.

Edit:
grammar
 
The only time I've ever taken notice of someone's desk meal was when this one bitch had whole fish. Like, there was a fish carcass on her plate, right in the middle of the office. Stank for hours.
 
Yeah, I eat at my desk all the time.

I only care when someone starts eating an apple or something disgustingly noisy.
 
It's only annoying if some fob brings in some super ethnic food that really smells up the joint

It is NOT OK to cook broccoli at the office.

Ugh, when I was a clerk at the video store, sometimes the night clerk would bring in his incredibly fragrant kimchi... the smell would take hours to dissipate.
 
I don't care, just chew with your mouth closed. At my old company I was just around the corner from the kitchen, and many days I had to shut my door because the sound of people chewing was disgusting. And if I could hear you chewing from around the corner and about 20 feet away, you're doing something wrong. There were also the people who would chew on their way back to their office. I'm glad I work at home now.
 
I eat at my desk nearly every lunch. My cubemate has never said anything about it.

If I have something that could stink throughout the afternoon, like wings, or shrimp, out of respect for those by me, I'll dump the remains in garbage out in the hall instead of my personal one.

This +1, although I would generalize and say that any strong smelling food/spices would be off-putting.
 
i eat at my desk all the time too. i never eat anything strong smelling though. when you have a 30 minute lunch, you don't have much time to get something and eat it away from your desk.
