Bro… imagine waking up on a Sunday, craving noodles, dragging your depressed ass to a restaurant, and the first thing you see is a sign basically saying, “Hey loser, bring a friend or get out.”
We’ve survived breakups, inflation, Marvel Phase 4, and even tariffs, but being rejected by fast food?
A noodle joint in Yeosu, South Korea, went viral for proudly banning solo diners because direct quote, “We don’t sell loneliness.”
This man really put loneliness on the menu just to cross it off. Outside the restaurant, there’s even a sign listing four “options” if you dare show up alone:
- Pay for two servings
- Eat two servings
- Call a friend
- Come back with your wife
I’m not a South Korean, but even I know that half the country is freaking single. Asking for a wife is insane. That’s like Walmart telling you not to enter unless you bring your therapist.
Restaurants say rising costs force them to “optimize seating,” which apparently means forcing humans to evolve into Noah’s Ark pairs before they can slurp soup.
One YouTuber even got scolded for eating alone DESPITE ordering two portions. The staff basically speed-ran her meal like it was an Olympic event.
And yeah, technically, the law does allow restaurants to refuse solo diners. But legal doesn’t mean clownery.
Turning away 42% of your customer base isn’t a business strategy, it’s self-sabotage with extra seasoning. If you ask me, the owner can do whatever he/she wants if it’s legal, but this is just old-school social stigma, economic panic, and a desperate attempt to preserve outdated vibes.
Society is changing, singles are rising, and some people would rather bully loners than adapt.

Looks like the owner feels entitled to decide what proper dining looks like. Bro, it ain’t that deep, it’s just noodles.
“Look, most of us want a normal life without any drama, but life in this world is always strange, and uncertain.

That’s it. No strings. Just you, me, and this stupid world.”
