[Crimson Dynamo]

ExmrsLT used to moan at me reading a paper at the table

ExmrsLT: I said darling, I hear that Poland is nice in the summer?"

LT: "hmmm, yes dear ok i will invade it after i respond to some ridiculous thing dezzy has posted about that racist witch bey"

[Jessica.]

I use my cutlery correctly, fork in left hand etc..
I consciously eat with my mouth closed.
I don't put elbows on the table.
Don't have my phone at the table unless I'm eating alone.
I always say please and thank you, even if it's just asking for water to be passed over.

[Babayaro.]

Just to say thank you to whoever made the food tbh

This is so true

[Ashley.]

Hearing someone chewing is possibly the worst ever sound. Disgusting. It's nice that you enjoy your food but I don't want to hear the evidence.

[jennyjuniper]

I hate it when people chew with their mouths open or talk whilst eating. Please and thankyou is a must. We always eat at the table, but unless we have guests we all read while we eat.

[arista]

No phones.



Yes the Best way
Josy

[Lee.]

I've got a thing about the way some folk hold their cutlery..

[waterhog]

lee you might need therapy.

[Lee.]

:laugh: you may be right... But no, there's a right way and a wrong way to hold your cutlery! It really bugs me but it's the kind of thing I'd NEVER say to anybody

[Shaun]

I can't say I have anything that particularly bothers me if I'm out for dinner with someone... only manners I'd really expect are being polite to the waiter / other staff, I think.

I don't mind if they check their phone from time to time (depends how often obviously :laugh:) and I don't really pay that much attention to how people eat their food (unless it's really noticeably gross).

[Crimson Dynamo]

I never use a knife at home

:omgno:

[Marsh.]

I never use a knife at home

:omgno:

Way too tempting?

[Lee.]

I never use a knife at home

:omgno:

What do you eat? Porridge?

[Crimson Dynamo]

What do you eat? Porridge?

I dont eat steaks and i just cut anything with the side of the fork
