Having A Dining Rules And Etiquette Guide Is Very Useful

By Marissa Velazquez


If you've ever been put into a social situation where you feel like you're in over your head, you should find a dining rules and etiquette guide. These handy little info packets will teach you just how to act and what to do in those situations where some folks struggle. If you haven't had the advantage of growing up in a family that puts importance on those things, they are invaluable.

Consider attending a formal party without the right attire. Showing up to a black tie party or dinner can provide endless laughs if you wear the wrong stuff. Blue jeans and a t shirt can make the right crowd grimace and grumble about your presence. Wearing a hat at the table can give some folks a near coronary.

There are lots of options for learning these skills and the easiest place to start is online, with a search engine. Rather than be embarrassed by ignorance, stun your friends and business associates with savvy skills that most folks never learn. There are all types of different individual rules and expectations that apply to all different situations.

Chewing loudly with your mouth open is one good way of offending the "upper crusties" and talking while doing it adds insult to injury. Joke often about inappropriate table talk, for example toilet humor, and laugh through the food in your mouth, very loudly and as obnoxiously as possible. If the opportunity presents itself, you can go so far as to burp and break wind with great volume. Make sure if you do, to blame it on the host or the guest sitting closest to you.

Lots of people preoccupy themselves with being polite and acceptable. It's more often the case than not that these folks look down on the people who don't as ignorant or stupid. Making them uncomfortable can be a wonderful strike against the folks who have no contact with reality. The privileged few who can bother themselves over table manners and etiquette should occasionally be reminded that the rest of the world exist.

Having fun at other people's expense is never advisable, unless they are part of the elite class of people who control most of the money in the world. It seems that they are the only folks who have time to bother themselves with the "rules" of "polite society". The virtues of a punk rock generation speak to just about everyone else.

Table manners can be a confusing sea to navigate if you aren't given the right tools of knowledge to do so. As a general rule, when dining out, it is only appropriate to eat after the entire table has been served and when dining at a home, only after the host or hostess has picked up their silverware to eat themselves.

Bothering people who live by dining rules and etiquette guide lifestyles can be a rewarding and hilarious past time. Giving them a dose of reality and obscenity just might remind them that the rest of the "peons" exist. Familiarizing yourself with the rules that they live by gives you a better opportunity to offend them.
