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.
Basically, anything but soup is a finger food.

One can pour the soup into a coffee cup and slurp it.

Slurping is poor manners.

So is farting in confined spaces, but that’s not stopping anyone.
