Please, for the love of God, spread these table manner errors so that they might be adopted far and wide. 1 & 3 have driven me to fantasize about punching fellow diners in the throat! Some of the rest of these are benign...
My nine-year old son demonstrated at table that he could use a chicken leg-thigh combination as numchuks. Should I correct him?
So, how about sucking over-easy eggs off of my plate?
Ima hide in my room and eat by myself. LOL
I’m not going to reveal the flaws in your logic.
1. You wouldn’t understand
2. I’m going to let you continue to be the ugly red-headed step child of FR (Don’t you ever go changin’on me:)
3. I enjoy the antics of a clueless self-congratulatory booze hound as you are
Never sit and suck your teeth, especially when a President you hate is giving a great speech that is kicking your butt.
Encourage him and enjoy dinner!
16. No devices at the table
17. No hats. Remove your hat when indoors. And especially never wear a hat at the table
That’s actually true. Food wolfers are usually the baby of the family who had to fight to eat and keep older siblings out of their plates. That early imprint never goes away and none are aware how unpleasant they are to dine with.
Can you use a toothpick on your nose?
Yes, don’t Pelosi at the table.
I like to finish ahead of everyone else, then throw the silverware down on the plate and yell “Winner!”.
Doesn’t count unless you then light a cigarette and blow smoke happily over the table.
When I’m in doubt about table manners at dinner, I just pull my phone out and look it up.
What about using Grandma Mema’s napkins to get rid of unwanted mutton? Anything on the proper disposal of muffin stumps? How about garbage eclairs?
Perfect
“”DONT’ WAVE UTENSILS ABOUT Never gesture with an eating utensil in your hand.””
Can you imagine trying to eat at the same table with Pelosi...? She can’t talk without waving her hands around like a traffic cop!
#14 is for her also!!!!!!
Send this to her. I’ve sent stuff to her office in SFO using the zip code of her office there. It goes through. It won’t using your own zip code - that is, unless you live in the area she represents and if that’s true, I would move out fast!!!
Grandma’s house, Grandma’s rules.
No personal hygiene at the table. No dental activity, no ear wax diving, nose picking, hair care, fingernail scraping or picking, etc.
There is virtually nothing that cannot be properly eaten with a knife and fork. Or, a spoon. I was in high school before I ever ate a piece of fried chicken with my fingers. Sit down, put the napkin in your lap and leave it there unless you get up. If returning to the table, put the napkin on your chair. Napkin goes on the table only as you head for the door.
Never stack plates for the servers. Let them pick them up.
Push back from the table only if all plates are removed and after dinner drinks have been served.
If you pay attention to what’s on YOUR table and leave others be you will have a far better dining experience.
