Yeah, that is kind of weird and intrusive. She had no reason to tell you you had to be in one particular public area out of all the ones available to you; there weren't any rules against your doing what you were doing, were there?
She's basically saying, "You have to act normal because I said so."
She was being insensitive, especially for an NT.
Some people think it is impolite to leave others alone because they can't possibly want to be alone. This, of course, is silly and untrue.
Should have told her you just needed to fart and you wanted to go somewhere secluded to do it. But now you have you will be happy to go back and "leave them with it" - LOL
That's quite rude. You wanted to sit in a place where there was no one. You TOLD HER THAT, and she told you to go sit with people. Proves that NTs don't listen.
Anyway, I personally don't like eating in front of people because I hate the sound of chewing noises. My mom and my friend Thomas make the worst of them. It's so annoying and sounds so disgusting.
I have been asked similar rude questions before, and I love their surprise when I answer bluntly. The more bluntness and surprise the more I feel quietly amused. "Are you working?" Sheesh, now that's kind of a little whitless of her to ask that, given that you just answered her twice before that.
My questions I recieved and my answers in the past..
Q: "Are you hideing?" A: "No. I'm reclining against the wall and drinking my coke."
Q: "Why havn't you taken your break yet?" A: "I've been on it for five minutes already."
Q: "What are you doing back here/over here/ ect.?" A: (various forms of what I was doing because they asked about what I was doing. *snicker*)
Q: "Need/want company?" A: "No." Q: "Why?" A: "Because I don't want it." Q: "Why don't you want to know other people?" A: "Because I don't want to know other people." Q: "What's your problem?" A: "I don't have one."
Q: "Why aren't you eating in the SUB (the main eating area at a college I attended)? A: "Because I hate the SUB."
That's quite rude. You wanted to sit in a place where there was no one. You TOLD HER THAT, and she told you to go sit with people. Proves that NTs don't listen.
Not all NTs. Just that one.
I think an NT would be OK with your being alone if you gave them a reason an NT would understand, for example:
"I want to be alone and think for a while."
"I'm tired."
"I'm in the middle of this fascinating book I can't put down, and I don't want to ignore people while I read it."
"I have a headache. The noise makes it worse."
"It smells horrible in there. I always lose my appetite."
"I've got work to do and the boss/teacher will kick my butt if I don't do it."
"I'm expecting a private call from someone."
Those ought to explain things to most NTs... some of them may be lies, depending on your particular situation; so depending on how good a liar you are, they may come off as rude.
Oh: Don't eat anywhere that's considered a "restroom"--bathroom, locker room, changing room. That makes NTs squeamish.
She probably just thought you were shy when she said "you don't want to eat back here".
Right, shoot down my advice again, man. You were probably there anyway so your advice should be the only one that's considered, right?

Whoes shooting your advice down? I agree with everyone though. From the looks of the first post, the woman meant "You don't belong back here, because this room is for working only." I also came to that conclusion because of her other annoying sayings.
"You're supposed to clock out."
"Are you on break?" She answered the question right there.
"Are you working?" 
She knew the answer already, but asked anyway, which is either rude or whitless in my oppinion.
And that adds up to the big kicker.. "You don't want to be back here."
.. and thus meaning, to me at least, "you don't belong back here for break, you're supposed to be out there, so get out of the room."
Nothing the person said was characteristic of the way one talks to a "shy" person.
There's reason to think anything.. However, I agree. It's more characteristic of how someone treats a "stupid" person than a 'shy' person. Heh. Interesting joke with the "selling the food to terrorists" thing. Not many people get that what a person puts is a joke, though, unless you put 'Joke:' or something to inform people you're jokeing.
See if I heard "you don't want to eat back here" I would assume she was really saying "you don't want to eat back here all alone, go out in the main area and eat with your friends". BUT, it's all in the tone of how she said it.
The sanitary thing comes to mind, too. "You don't want to eat back here, it's nasty and dirty". I don't see it as rude at all.
I am sorry the Fart thing would be enough for most people to get embarrassed and have no come back for. If she was trying to impress anyone - failure. If she was trying to make you leave - failure (you were leaving anyhow, and her and bigwig on your heels), what can she get angry with you about. Leaves her embarrassed for seeking you out, embarassed to be around a non-existent fart,embarrassed her plan to humiliate someone has backfired and embarrassed that she has no offense oe defense. Bigwig might laugh too - which would be a killer for her. He might similarly be embarrassed which she would feel responsible for.
Fart wins all around.
Another would be "The strange voices started to tell me to kill anyone who came close to me so I came here by myself to protect them". Then give an evil smile at both of them and say "No they are alright. No we shouldn't hurt them precious"
Might make them leave you alone.
When I was younger (about high school age) I used to hide sometimes behind the door to the school corridor. The trouble was when others found me it was quite embarrassing. And of course they never leave you alone after that.
That's one of the things that really sucks about schools. They have so many boundaries that there's never a chance to be alone.
