| Table Manners in the Nursery (PD, 1916) |
Texting that
you’re running 15 minutes late doesn’t
make the wait any shorter. The person
on the other end might have better
things to do than hanging in your void.
Once you arrive, and dinner is well
underway, resist the temptation to answer
your phone. Nothing says rudeness
more than grabbing a call during a
face-to-face encounter.
After dessert,
walk that toothpick over to the
bathroom. Fellow diners don’t wish to see
the intimate details of your dental plan.
Are you now looking
for the check? Don't flag the server down; simple eye contact will suffice. Waving across a crowded room can be construed as embarrassing overkill.
When you
finally do get on Facebook, resist the temptation to let loose. If you’re
frustrated about the meal you just had,
releasing a torrent of insults about it
could cost you a future job. Would-be
employers will certainly check your
sites to determine how affable you
might be.
