Table Manners...WTF?

If you really want to be rude, go to a good restaurant and when you get your meal, take one bite. Then take your napkin, (hopefully it is cloth) and drape it over your plate and have the waitress give it to the chef. If the guy knows his stuff he will be completely insulted by what you just did.

I have had some bad food served to me, and I wished I had the courage to pull this maneuver.

Never heard of this use before - it is quite obvious (from your description) though.

My cat did it one night when she decided her cat food was only fit for burial. However, we're not fancy enough for napkins in my home, so she used a paper towel.
 
^My cat will just ignore it if the food is not good enough for her.

We don't use napkins or paper towels at home when just the two of us; she uses her tongue and I use utensils...
 
I live in a very casual place, I eat out often (mostly asian) and I haven't give the term "table manners" a lick of thought in years. Rude to wear a hat in a restaurant? Never heard of such a thing.

Iguana said wearing hats in a restaurant was silly, which I agree with.

You're all arguing about one size fits all, which is daft. We all of us can change the register of our speech according to the company we are talking amongst. In the same way we can change the manner of the way we eat according to the environment.

You can take the similarities further because everyone who has a television understands the rules of correct grammar, whether or not they use it themselves. Similarly everyone knows how to behave with decorum while eating in company, whether or not they do it themselves. It's a personal choice.

:lol: I should have mentioned that the paper towel was already on the floor. I have normal cats who groom themselves (and each other) in the normal way.

Maddy was just expressing her opinion of the quality of her supper. She didn't think it had any.
 
I gave my cats cat food from Aldi once. They stared at me as though I had put cardboard in the bowl.

I've tried the cheap stuff from Co-op, the cheap stuff from Lidl, the cheap stuff from Aldi -and a few cheap brands from anywhere- and the expensive stuff from the vet (most of her diet is the expensive dry-food from the vet) -she'll eat the 'sauce' all-right, but never the 'chunks'... I'm just about having tried every single brand of cheap wet-food on the market atm! the only thing she'll eat is the most expensive of the non-vet brands: Whiskas :sigh:
 
^Yeah, I knew that (from experience with another cat)! -which is why I' trying out ALL other brands and non-brands I can find :lol:
 
Y'all don't know nuthin'! Have your cats try "Tiki-Cat" if you want to see immediate addication.

My friend Jenn made the mistake of buying that once and now, that's the ONLY wet food her cats will eat... Tiki brand dog and cat fud is quite literally almost fit for human consumption... It's also expensive has hell... I get some of the Tiki-Dog food on occasion for my pups, but since they usually only eat dry food, they aren't as addicted... Then again, they DO recognize the cans... Geez.. What have I done???
