My cousin married a man-child who eats like this. (Google calls it "Shovel grip") He's a fucking lazy useless swine and I can't understand why she'd want to attach herself to such a person.

He comes over to family gatherings only to eat and then sits on his phone in the living room the rest of the night w/o bothering to offer to help clean up or help with anything after the meal. He does that mouth-smacking-heavy-nose-breathing "nyom-nyom-nyom" and I swear to god his jowels and smacking make him look and sound like a dirty farm pig. Can't wait for him to choke on a bone or something. Fat greedy useless disgusting fuck.

It irritates the fuck out of me. The only thing worse is when they hold the fork in an inverse stabbing sort of way. It actually looks painful. Like it's going to give them carpal tunnel someday I don't mean to come across as a snob or anything, but simple table manners or dinner guest ettiquite is apparently very rare.

I honestly don't get it. I will do anything in my power to sit away from his part of the table and I refuse to look at him when I find myself in that unfortunate circumstance.

Like I said, I'm waiting for him to inhale something into his throat while he's snorting his food.

The sad part is that he's not rare as diners go. Next time you go to a restaurant give the room a look and you'll notice way too many people behaving like this.
Not to get in to a blog/rant, but the people who do the whole

>I'll have uh
>I need uh
fit in to the same category. When did saying please and thank you go out of style?

There's a guy at work who eats like this. He starts his meal by cutting everything into bite size pieces and then just grasps the fork like some kind of brute and shovels the pieces in. He puts an ungodly amount of salt on everything as well.

Precision grip is like the pic on the left. Held between the thumb and index finger and resting against the side of the middle finger. Holding a pen like you were holding that fork, i.e. between all three fingers, is retarded.

It's the same precision grip we have been evolving over centuries because it works. I've only ever seen special needs kids holding a pen with the pinch grip you were using. How you can get to adulthood and not know how to hold a pen is beyond me.
