I bet opcat never marries the salt and pepper.

I eat so fast I cannot breathe without chewing with my mouth open.

[SkinnyBenny]

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.

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. 

complete list please.....

5. Used condom on the floor
4. Toenail cutting incident
3. Overflowing toilet with identifiable...stuff...all over
2. Used tampon on the floor, no toilet paper or anything
1. Explosive diarrhea on floor, toilet, and wall

You've seen it, you can't un-see it.

[hemmy]

I never use salt or pepper.  NEVER

[sys]

chewing with your mouth open is repulsive.  people that do it shouldn't be allowed to vote.


really don't give a eff about toenails.  bfd, not disgusting.

[jtksu]

I use the eff out of pepper but I go pretty easy on the salt.  Plus, I usually use sea salt and you don't want much of that stuff.

to marry the salt a pepper it should always be "passed" together.  It does not matter if you use either or both.  They just should always be passed togther around the table.

I'm all for order, but that is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and OCD-ey.

Yeah, at the risk of creating a schism here, I won't be including the S&P rule in my etiquette handout.  (I had a friend in college who actually cared about this rule.  He also stuck mini carrots up his nose, so he's not my etiquette guru.)

[jtksu]

I literally have OCD and I couldn't give a eff less if the salt and pepper were together.

Salt and pepper simplified.

It can go where ever it is needed, including independent from each other, as long as it returns to the same centrally-located location.

Maybe if you live in a god damn barn.

They are to be kept together, married, at all times.  "Pass the pepper" you say?  Welp, you are getting the rough ridin' salt passed to you as well, because they most forever be locked together.


You probably don't pass the food with your left hand toward the person to your right do you?

[CNS]

I feel very sorry for the pepper in that scenario.  Everyone likes pepper.  It's like the cool kid at the party that has to drag its unpopular roomie around with him.  Not everyone likes the salt, and being seen constantly with the unpopular roomie can damage rep.

Let pep enjoy his swagger without salt dragging him down.

Probably about time that you mods inact the "inbred yokels get banned" rule.  These disgusting people probably think that it's okay to use a sheet of paper towel as a napkin at dinner.   

[CHONGS]

I hate it when people mount their horses from the right.  rough ridin' infuriating.

[sys]

pete, if there is red pepper and/or an herb mix on the table where do they go?

This.  My wife thinks I'm nuts, but I ask for both even if I only need one and I pass both regardless.  I've had a few people comment how they only needed one of them passed.  I just pick up my glass of pinot noir with my pinky out and gufaw at them.

I think most of the people on this board who were raised in a barn are just too angry their salt did not come as a big block tied to a rope to be able to accept that pepper comes along with it.
 
Also.  The blade of your knife should always face you or your plate.  When setting a table you can match the name of the eating utensil with the side you place it on.  For example the fork goes on the left.

Treated independently, just if they were a gravy boat or butter crock.

[SkinnyBenny]

If you pass them both to me when I only ask for the pepper I will bean you in the fracking head with the salt.  Superfluous.

Why would you put pepper on a rawhide anyway, neanderthal? 

[PandaXpanda]

i'm, like, always afraid that people can hear me chewing my food, which would be disgusting, but in reality they never can!  but i'm still always afraid that they just might be able to!

thx.  some people have been giving me looks, and i was getting a little self conscious.

[sys]

pinky tucked in tight and soft snort or raised eyebrows with a sideways head movement.  you're undoing all the good you did earlier with the salt-pepper.

[WillieWatanabe]

Sometimes i get self conscious about having my off eating arm on the table. I get real caught up in the food, that i forget. I usually look around to see what others are doing.
