That happened to me once or twice at Outback, and I did not like it much. It is a bit too familiar. I don't mean to sound mean here, but if I am at a restaurant with one special person, or with a group of people from my office (usually why I am there), and all of a sudden someone comes over and sits down, and starts a conversation while taking the order (that is what always happens when they sit down, they chit chat, which I do not like much), it is usually an interruption of whatever we were talking about, or at the very least an invasion of our space, and sometimes it is difficult to get the "flow back," if that makes any sense. Besides, if they are going to sit down, they could at least ask first, right?
