Etiquette Lessons

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

Based on some things I've seen in the last 2 days, here are some lessons.  This stuff is valuable, but I'm giving it free of charge.

1)  Don't chew with your mouth open.  And don't eat while riding on the elevator with others -- you can wait a couple minutes for your feeding.   Particularly, don't chew your damn crunchy pretzels with your mouth open while you're on the elevator with me.  OK, thanks.

1a)  Don't smack your gum.

2)  Don't clip your nails in public.  Particularly, you shouldn't clip your toenails in public.  Even more specifically, don't be a white-haired dude sitting in your baggy briefs in the gym locker room (by my locker) clipping your damn toenails while your junk hangs out your briefs.  Nobody thinks that's OK.

[Kat Kid]

I want to divorce my wife in the face when she smacks her gum.

#5 Don't be naked in locker room guy.

 Why do old people do this?  Will I want to do this when I am old

Prolly not a matter of "want to", but more a product of not caring any more.

tips on food stuck in teeth?!

[slackcat]

If you must chew tobacco, swallow in public or while around me.  Hate fracking spit cups/cans.

It's just as much your fault if you don't say something

True Story: When I was in College I went to the Aldi's (poor at the time) to get a few items. So I go up to pay and set my items on the little converter belt thingy and some scumbag who worked there was actually clipping his toe nails right there at the check out line.

Its not being a FP to think gross things are gross.

[Dugout DickStone]

Goddam I love popping my gum in the faces of old squares.  Your time is over old fogies!

I become enraged to the point of physical violence when people who fail to marry the salt and pepper at the dinner table.

2)  Don't clip your nails in public.

In college, a couple of friends and I saw a girl from our department cutting her toenails at the bar during happy hour. In my top five grossest things seen at a bar.

With all these disgusting toenail clipping stories, I'm glad to be part of the solution in getting this message out.

My only fear is that this message board won't spread our message far enough.  Maybe we should come up with a short list of tips (including chewing tobacco and deodorant-related tips) and make a handout for people with some clipart or something.



P.S. Stunz, if you're talking about food stuck in your teeth, try quietly swishing a sip of your drink around in your mouth after you're done eating to clear any issues.

Not real sure what you mean here.  Like only use salt or pepper, but not both?  Or do you want your salt and pepper married in the shaker?  Cause they make it pre-mixed if you want it like that.

Thank you.  The lack of table manners and common decency in todays dining settings is enough to make me swear off eating w/ the general public sometimes.  
Anyone on this board that has a shred of dignity and respect for themselves in regards to table etiquette is more than welcome to join me for a dinner between 2 actual human beings, and not a pak of wild dogs, the next time they're in the DFW area.

I think he means put them next to each other when you are done.  That's just what I'm assuming.  I use pepper and never salt, so if he's complaining about that maybe he should talk to that one really weird guy on the board who doesn't ever use salt.
