I don't know how some of you were raised but it's clear that some of you should do some research on how to behave at a dinner table.

One example that I've been noticing as of late has been the way some people hold their forks and knives. I saw some dude stab his steak with the fork straight down and cut around it like he was carving a roast, then put the knife down and switch hands with the fork to take a bite. I stopped doing that at 5.

You're supposed to have the fork in your left hand and knife in your right hand and cut it the same way.




Again don't be the "ugly American", you embarrass yourself and others around you when you lack basic manners and don't abide by basic social norms.
solid trolling from you lately

Who needs forks and knives when I have fingers and teeth? I have nature's utensils and, bonus, they are pretty renewable. I prefer to pick up my steak with both hands and go to town.

That's racist towards left-handed people!
Where's my safe space??

You really are an ass-hat and should consider offing your self. Really.
Not sorry.

Restaurants in the far east really frown on that.

I don't think people in Philly care that much about things like that. I've seen how they behave at sporting events

Clearly one who is not worthy of further discourse. The signal-to-noise ratio is vastly improved.
