My friend, the pig

[bresamil]

Yeah yeah. Truth hurts.

Personally, I can handle the bad indiscriminate gas or something, but bad table manners really bother me. I can't stand a guy that smacks his food while eating like a wile boar and almost grunting with every bite, talks with food in his mouth and even spits food while he's talking

My husband sometimes has bad table manners....when I bring it up (never in front of anyone) he says i'm just being too prissy. :shrug: Excuse me for not wanting to watch your food being chewed up.

I have a girlfriend with terrible table manners. She is actually in a very high powered position, makes an excellent salary and single. Go figure , but she likes it that way. I about DIED when she snatched a pork chop off a plate one day and started eating it, no fork, no knife, no plate, just her and the pork chop.




I love her. Her positives far exceed her negatives and besides, it is funny.

no fork, no knife, no plate, just her and the pork chop.

That's the best way to eat it.

That's the best way to eat it.

Sure, alone on your sofa or with close friends and/or family but not in front of your co-workers at a party.

I learned good table manners as a kid, and almost always use them. When I was in the Navy, I didn't see any reason to be too much of a stickler on a ship with 500 other guys. If it made me less attractive, that was fine with me.

They made a junior officer eat with the enlisted every night as a quality control measure. One evening we're sitting there with LT Allen, and I pick up a brocolli spear with my fork, take a bite, and put it down. The LT gets a disgusted look on his face, and tells me "that's what they invented knives for." So I took my knife, stabbed a spear, took a bite and put it back down. The LT got disgusted and left. Mission accomplished!

 

[Pandora]

I could see you doing that too.


I've been working with my 7-year old on table manners. He'll take a bite of pizza, pick his nose and take another bite of his pizza.

My oldest has very good table manners, always has.

Sometimes you just gotta grab it!! I can get down on some pork chops. I'm a lefty so coordinating the tools it's always convienent.

Me and the porkchop, ahh memories.

Ok, I have to chime in here. That my friend, is the only wat to eat a pork chop. I might use a knife and fork for the "meaty" part, but those little pieces by the bone I pull off with my fingers.

Well it all depends on who you work with and where you're at. I work with a bunck of engineers; male engineers. If I'm in the middle of one of my weekly meetings having to squeeze lunch in I'm not going to be too concerned with my manners. I'm tomboyish to begin with as it is.

If I'm at a formal work party and I'm in a dress and stuff of course I'll use my manners.

If I'm at a picnic; manners out the door.

I disagree. I know lots of blue collored construction folks and my Dad is one too but it's no excuse for bad table manners. He still has impecible table manners and he's a manly man. I don't think anyone wants to see your food or HEAR you eat. We have evolved. I find it disrespectful of the company you are in, no matter who, what or where JMO No more than you walking up to someone smacking gum or belching while talking to them :shrug: Guess I'm just old school

I enjoyed watching Wenchy eat a hot dog without a bun last weekend at ItsBob's

I don't chew with my mouth open or anything like that. That's not lack of manners that's just plain ol' uncoth (sp?). But I will use my fingers if I need to.

nuttn' wrong with that... ya' had me worried for a second.

 

[vraiblonde]

I find it interesting that not only do so many of you have terrible manners, but you actually rejoice in them.

I wonder why my friend is having such a hard time getting a second date.

We were slicing off chuncks of pig last weekend and just eating them with our fingers. The fork oil added a nice flavor
