To wonder if this is cultural?

I sat down this morning in a massive Wetherspoons. It has lots of little rooms off of the main room.

I was the only customer in there, ordered my breakfast and sat down. A few minutes later, a man strolls in and sits at the very next table to me. What?! This has happened to me before but in a smaller place. I mean, he has about 5 other empty rooms to choose from and he chose mine. The table right next to mine too.

It's nothing to do with 'culture'. Not sure what you mean by this anyway, it a weird phrase. Do you mean he wasn't white or English appearing and you think that's why he chose to sit by you?

It human nature to flock. I would have sat in one of the little rooms myself and I don't want to sit near people.
