Table manners in amer*ka

[Anonymous No.13095959]

Rent free obsession thread!

I've noticed so many americans that don't have any table manners to speak of. They have such a weird way of holding their cutlery, or often they only eat with their right hand while the other hand is in their lap.

Why? Even english "people" have better table manners than americans!

Post pictures of amerikans and their table manners please!

i was raised with ultra strict manners in general so i always notice people's manners and usually they are bad
but when i see my friends doing some bad manner stuff like picking at their food or eating with their hands or fucking around in general whatever i can relax and sometimes i'll even join in because bad manners can be fun and it doesn't hurt anybody
also manners vary culturally like slurping vs no slurping allowed
it's nice to be able to turn it back on though like if i'm having a fancy formal dinner for some reason

i also used to punctuate every thing i wrote on the internet correctly but as >>13096012 says it's mostly boomer bullshit

The main reason is that society has collapsed. Most kids, even whites, are raised as feral savages by whore single moms. It did not used to be this way. Modern American children, in addition to being ill-mannered, are unchurched, uneducated, fatherless, undisciplined, untrustworthy, and the results show.

No, i just saw a few american tourists in a restaurant here on saturday, and they were super american: fat, speaking very loudly, ignorant, etc. Now, i know americans are like that, buttheir table manners took the cake lol they held forks and knives like baseball bats. All of them

If only it were just fork-holding. Elbows on table, poor posture, being a poor conversationalist, reaching over other people's food for the rolls instead of asking politely for somebody to pass them. The list is endless.

Just because it is a Eurotroll pointing it out does not mean that boomers didn't decide to "let it all hang out" in the 60s, with disastrous consequences including at mealtime.

Think of dining with Grace Kelly in 1959 and dining with some typical American woman in 2019. Casual curse words and food bits flying out of her mouth as she updates her instagram page. Dressed like a hobo, cannot carry a conversation about anything substantive.

Please refer to my recent posts. It did not used to be this way. Emily Post mattered. People went to charm school. Parents and older siblings rebuked children whose manners were poor.

One of the more bizarre lapses in etiquette I've observed was at Thanksgiving Dinner about three years ago.

Eating Thanksgiving Dinner with us were a number of college baseball players. Two of the baseball players were from New York City and had clearly never eaten family style before.

There were sitting in the middle of a long table. We'd all pass the food along but it would stop when it got to them. They didn't pass a single thing on. They just got their food out of it and left it there. The result was that the rest of us had to get up and go over to where they were sitting to get whatever we wanted to put on our plates. That meal was a real madhouse in there -- I never even saw some of the foods that we had at the table.

Because of this, we no longer pass the food along for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Instead, the food goes on a separate table and we line up and get what we want cafeteria style.

Their coach invited them.

It's so rare that we have a Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner without at least one or two guests that I can't remember any without guests in at least ten years.

I'm well aware of the "European" way of using knives and forks and the "American" way of using knives and forks.

Either way is appropriate.

Supposedly, the only faux pas is to switch back and forth between approaches as I sometimes do.

In general, though, using your knife and fork to cut something, then setting the knife down and switching the fork to the other hand works better if you are eating bites of different foods along the way.

Only in a multi course meal where you get your meat course without any sides with it does the European way ever make sense.

What I don't do is tear a piece out of my bread with my fingers, butter that piece of bread, and then eat it.

Also, I don't set bread out on the table like the French, but I have no objection to doing so.

We're all entitled to our opinion. What's undeniable is that ALL of our institutions collapsed after the 2nd world war, by design of the kikes. Stripping Christendom of its protective armor has exposed our soft underbelly, which they are currently devouring.

Kikes are gonna kike, that is lamentable but to be expected. What is unforgivable is their brainwashed attack golems, from whom we have already heard very loudly and ignorantly in this thread.

Shake the family tree of any of these edgy modern day brainwashed atheists, and it will rain parsons, vicars, ministers, priests, friars, monks and clerics of all stripes. Why should we believe them now, when their ancestors exhorted us so passionately not to? And then of course they call US the hypocrites. The kikes sleep uninterrupted as their regrettable minions do their work for them. Sad, many such cases.

lol what? We live by far the best and longest lives in human history. The capitalist Pax Americana of the from WWII's end through now has been without any doubt the most prosperous time in human history. People live long, better lives with better stuff, better homes, better health, better communication, better ability to travel, an absolutely tiny portion of the population involved in wars etc

My grandmother once told me good manners are not about following a bunch of arbitrary rules, but about making the people around you feel comfortable.

Call me crazy, but it seems like what we call "political correctness" is really just good manners in the 21st century... aka, unwritten rules for speaking and acting politely in a diverse society... so that the people around you feel comfortable.

I don't get what the big deal with "political correctness" is desu. There are always going to be unwritten rules for behavior -- humans are social creatures and we need social rules to live in groups and not murder each other. Obviously those codes of behavior are always going to be different depending on the social setting, the culture, and the time period. It's always been like that. Why would this culture and time period be any different?

Just like there are some things you shouldn't do or say at work, or when you first meet someone, or when talking to a judge, or when you meet someone's parents, etc.... there are some things you probably shouldn't do or say in a diverse environment with people from different backgrounds.

People seem to seriously believe "pc culture" is a form of censorship. But you can still say what you want -- and the only consequences you face are going to be social consequences.

You can go through life talking with food spilling out of your mouth, interrupting people when they're mid sentence. But people are going to think you are ignorant and rude.

Being proudly "un-PC" in 2019 is just being proud of the fact that you're being rude.
