Why do school kids race to lunch

[Lichtenstein]

Every day after second, third, and fourth period a stampede of kids just sprints to get pizza and hamburgers. It is rather annoying to be walking with my books when a fat kid bulldozes into me knocking my 100 pound self 5 feet forward and scattering all my books before fifty other children come up and push me out of the way while I'm trying to gather my belongings.

So what is so mystical about school lunch that causes people to sprint to it?

[Headshot777]

I don't like waiting in line.

[JadedTombstone]

Fat people lich...FAT PEOPLEEEEE!

[Sekhem]

well in high school we only had 45 minutes for lunch

add that to getting out of the parking lot and racing to a fast food place and standing in line and it's a mess

i was late at least once every three days or so

The faster you get there, the sooner you eat.

Pretty simple.

[Los-Illuminados]

holy SHIT! 100 pounds??? if you are in highschool, im VERY surprised. and i thought i was skinny.

[Sizzlebuzz]

Well, it's basically a free period. You get to sit and eat with your friends instead of doing schoolwork. What's not to rush to?

And in some cases, lunch period is very late for certain groups.

[PinballWizard976]

Then take your time getting there, and let all the other kids get in line. Personally, I go into lunch a good 10 minutes after the bell rung. My highschool is set up campus-style, and since it doesn't make a difference if you're late or not, I got as much time as I want to walk around. First I walk with my friend, then take a trip to my locker, then back to where I started, hang out in the grass a bit with my other friend, then take my time down the hill to the cafeteria, and by this time there's a huge line, but I don't eat anyways. Who the hell would eat pizza at 10 in the morning? That's disgusting.

Damn, you're skinnier than I am, and I weigh about 110 lbs. But anyway, I run to get to lunch because there's huge ass lines at my school, and I don't feel like being late so I have to stand in line for an hour. Who cares if the food is horrible, I don't have to wait for it.

[Lost-Wisdom]

Who eats at the school cafeteria? It's better just to go outside during your lunch period and get better food than the mediocre food the cafeteria gives you.

Unless the cafeteria food you have there is good, then by all means do whatever you want.

Simply said. Lines are a bitch and kids tend to be hungry.

I am normally the 7th person that gets there; but I don't run. Instead I walk to lunch. My class is very close to the Cafeteria so I just walk and only some of the other people in my class are there first.

The runners are always too late

[John12346]

Because I'll be late for my class.

School food? I'd rather have sex with a meat grinder than eat that horrible mess. I once took a bite of a chiken leg and it was raw now I never eat there again. Well atleast I got 2.6K from the lawsuit.

That sounds terrible. I really hate negligent lunchladies that forget to cook something all the way through.

Damn you every elementary school lunchlady I've ever had.

[6r0undZ3r0]

They're hungry and want to eat? Getting your food quicker means more time to socialize with friends instead of waiting in line.

[Dmabster]

They dont get long periods. And are hungry as shiznit.

[MultiCanimefan]

Everyone knows that the people last to get their food tend to get the smallest pieces of food and half-cooked "Oh God did it move" nourishment.

[Stretchysumo]

Because long lines are the reason a baby dies every 2 seconds.

[Cericon]

I hate waiting in line.

[Najjo-Rulez]

At my school it's usually the black kids who are racing to lunch.

Them and their free meal programs....

[AlphaCentauri]

Perhapes you should run faster to lunch and eat so you weigh more then 100 pounds and can hold your own in the stampede.

[The777Demon]

I have an early lunch with fairly few people, because I get a ride to VoTech, and they give us priority. No waiting in line for me bitches!

the fact that we were all kids once kinda answers your question, unless you havn't reached that age yet..

[Itsbroken2]

They enjoy racing to eat reheated, aged, prepackaged shit.
