Have you Mimicked somebody else's use of eating utensils face to face?

    Forget table manners. Was the subject a good sport or did it "go down the wrong way". Did they mimick you? Were your own feelings hurt?

    I can't say that it has ever crossed my mind.

    Noisy, slurpy eaters are fair game though.

    I took the piss out of a young fella in work for not being able to use a knife and fork properly. I should have just kept my mouth shut though, he didn’t take it well.
    He was trying to cut the meat with the side of his fork by just pressing down on it while the knife was in his other hand.

    No but a couple of arsehokes in a Chinese in Paris had a great laugh at me struggling with chopsticks - they were using knife and fork.

    I'm pretty handy with them now. Some things are just easier to eat with chopsticks.

    No but when I worked in a burrito bar for 2 years, from time to time there was people who ate a burrito with a ****ing fork and knife.. like seriously

    I thought they were bad, bad people

    also I think little of people when I see them eating a bagel with a fork and knife, just pick up the thing and get it into ya, and I was a 20 year old (female) at the time, don't be shy with food around me lol.

    Fried rice is just better with chopsticks.

    I do it all the time. The other person invariably gets pissed off and throws something at me. It's one of the downsides of living alone and eating in front of a mirror for company.

    You're probably the sort of person who wouldn't even like it if somebody ate a Mars bar with a knife and fork!! :rolleyes:
