Grew up in old money. Had to take etiquette classes as a young lad. I’ve pretty much accepted that people don’t know how to dine out. I’m not the kind of asshole to say “U DIDNT PUT UR UTENSILS ON THE PLATE THE RIGHT WAY”

But one thing that does bug me is napkin placement. Lunch and dinner napkin placement is DIFFERENT. lunch is a more casual meal. Place it over half of your lap!

This is a stupid rule of etiquette. Generally, any nice place will serve everyone at the same time, so it is irrelevant, but it's ridiculous to expect another person to sit and stare at their food for ten minutes while it gets cold just so they aren't rude. As soon as that plate hits the table I start in, and I grant the same liberties to anyone I eat with. I'd rather they enjoy it hot while it's at its best than obey some stupid societal rule.

I grew up in a trailer park, and though I'm fairly wealthy now, and my children are living a comfortable life, I still act like white trash sometimes, usually when I'm eating. I pretty much just stick my plate on my lap and wolf my meal down, hunched over and watching TV. I can't eat unless I'm watching TV. I use my hands for almost everything and just stuff shit down my throat as fast as I can, because my seven brothers and sisters and I pretty much fought over what food we had like hogs at feeding time. I got pretty fat, once I started making real money, and though my meals are mostly salads and stuff now, I still suck it down like it's going out of style. My wife hates it and my kids think that I'm a freak when I eat.
I'm pretty sure I've rushed saying grace at least once by saying "rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub".
The more I type, the more I realize I'm generally setting an awful example for my kids. I don't have them in faggy etiquette classes, but I don't want this behavior to be normalized, even though they agree with their mother right now that it's disgusting. I miss the simplicity of poverty, when I was just happy to have food in my gut, and didn't care how it got there.

Shit sucks dude, I still have a strong drive to hoard shit. Everything from bread ties & jars to scrap pieces of wood or metal. It takes a conscious effort for me to throw away food that hasn't grown mold on it.
Table manners were a big thing though. I guess my family just had a different reaction to scarcity than yours. Rather than squabbling portions were divided and dealt with discipline, chewing with your mouth open or other lack of courtesy generally got a scolding or slapping from either mom or dad.

>If you have an eating disorder, don't eat so much you want to puke it up
I wont be offended if you have a quarter serve so you don't hate yourself after, I will be annoyed if you go place a whole meal or more that I put time and money into, into the toilet ten minutes after eating however. I know ED's are complicated but this is something that really frustrates me, not that I'd go off at someone for it.

>its not a spear
it's a pointed stick made for stabbing things. it's way more a spear than it is a pencil. holding the fork like that is more ergonomic and effective than the way you're supposed to.
