To spare staff and diners from the “severe emotional trauma” of being surrounded by lovey dovey couples flaunting their love in the faces of lonely singletons, a restaurant in Japan has banned all couples on Christmas Eve -- “with no exceptions!”

Spaghetti diner PiaPia, located just outside Tokyo, is the latest restaurant to hop on what’s being called the “anti-loneliness” trend in Japan and around the world -- a phenomenon that tries to eliminate the stigma of dining alone, by offering either inanimate, stuffed animals as dining companions or tables for one.

According to RocketNews24.com, a sign posted outside PiaPia restaurant makes no qualms about banning smug, happy couples on Christmas Eve, with hand-drawn images of a male and female figure holding hands crossed out with a big red ‘X’ sign.

Locals at RocketNews24.com note that the Christmas holidays have long been “the bane” of Tokyo singles, when couples traditionally descend en masse on the city streets to take in the illumination shows and revel in their coupledom.

“That it’s one of the few times public displays of affection are relatively accepted in polite Japanese society just makes it all the more difficult for lonely guys and gals to bear.”
