its inferior to the lap napkin.
unless you are eating soup, and falter right as the train goes into the tunnel, you're going to get the food on your lap as it falls.

I'm with you, I wish it was a cultural standard to tuck a bib when eating.

My old fart neighbor still does this.
but nobody wears nice clothes that need dry-cleaning anymore so nobody is afraid of a food stain that will come out in the wash either.

I hear you. I was eating breakfast this morning and spilled a big ass chunk of it on my freshly ironed shirt, and it really pissed me off. I'm bringing the travel bib back.

imagine needing a bib because you dribble food like an infant
imagine being unable to just lean over your plate because your gut is too big

Wrong. Only a slob doesn't neck tuck the napkin when eating splashy food. When I'm wearing my suit, you better believe I'm tucking the napkin into my collar.

Who the fuck thinks putting a napkin on your lap will prevent the splash from soup, pasta or sauces? Putting a napkin on your lap in the wrong situation is lazy and uncultured. Shows you care more about showing off your gay T-shirt than keeping clean.

In Korea they have bibs in their restaurants for customers.

Imagine eating like a dying old man because you're desperately trying to figure out the mathematical formula for sauce not to splatter.

If you wearin a suit and you put a napkin on your lap when eating anything you're the real infant

Sometimes accidents happen. A bib is nice to wear at events where your clothes can get jacked up. Too bad it makes you look like an uptight nerd.

>Can someone tell me exactly when bibs went out of style? There are so many pros to wearing a bib while eating. I used to see old farts tuck a napkin in their collars when I was but a wee lad, but I haven't seen anyone use a normal bib or napkin bib in maybe 15 years!
I remember sitting in First Class on Pan Am years ago....thick linen napkins, pressed and crisp, always had a buttonhole on the corners, so you could attach your napkin to your top button on your dress shirt.

>walking around with stains on your clothes
maybe you don't care, but others do.

>>16204351
Because most people can eat without making a mess. What are you OP, a fucking baby? lmao

>>16204763
lmao people are far too up their own asses to care about yours.
