Good question. It's almost a compulsion to multi-task.

It's really annoying when someone brings in a meal with a distinctive 
odor, i.e. KFC, or some types of fish, even a fish burrito.

At least I haven't encountered anyone eating stinky tofu in the movies! 
I was recently in Taipei, and right across from my hotel was a place 
selling stinky tofu. I could smell my way back to the hotel.
