What is the worst etiquette that you have witnessed while dining with someone?

Answer 1

You don't want to hear this because I really don't want to remember it but unfortunately it is burned into my memory. So even though it happened a couple years ago I can still see it.
A male who was dining with guests started clearing his throat (and I am being polite here) then turned around and let go on the window behind him. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen and the restaurant was so appalled they comped our dinner (which I didn't finish by the way).

Answer 2

I was having dinner with a fellow I'd met very recently (we share similar hobby interests).

At the table, he said matter-of-factly "Sorry, but I didn't put some denture adhesive in before we left the hotel," and slipped out his partial plate, wrapping it in a napkin and putting it beside his plate!

(No, I am NOT making this up.)

I'm a nurse, and thought little would startle me....but it was darned difficult getting through the meal without breaking into giggles....

I mean, if he'd had to pull the plate for fear of choking or breakage if it slipped, and he'd done it in the bathroom, I probably wouldn't have noticed a thing.

Our first----and last----meal together!

Answer 3

It was Father's Day, and this very nice restaurant was crowded. The table next to us had four people just finishing eating. One of the women took out her dental floss, tore off about a yard of it, and proceeded to floss each and every one of her teeth. She did a thorough job, and I'm sure her dentist is pleased with her, but the rest of us weren't!

Another time, I was eating lunch with a friend and her husband in the nicest restaurant in town. The husband was through with his meal before we had even half-finished ours. He stacked every plate and dish on top of each other, including his coffee cup and silverware. Then he pushed himself from the table a bit, and tilted the chair back till it was on the back two legs, raised his arms way above his head, stretched and gave out a very loud YAWN. I wanted to crawl under the table. So embarrassing!

Answer 4

I was not with this person, they were at another table. But an argument broke out and this female stood up yelled that he was a sick sob ranted and raved using very nasty words threw a bottle of beer and walked out. I asked the waiter if I had to pay extra for the floor show LOL he laughed and gave us a free desert.

Answer 5

It was on a dinner date about twelve and a half years ago. The guy was attacking his food like a primitive caveman- chewing with his mouth open, practically putting his face on the plate- you name it, he committed it. Trust me- there is nothing more disgusting at the dinner table than seeing chewed up chicken running down someone's chin.

Answer 6

Ok so i met this chick from an on line dating service, we agreed to go to diner. We went to a cheap chain restaurant which was fine for me cuz these meetings are not that great anyway. We ordered our diners and when we got them she smeared cottage cheese all over her chicken with honey sauce. She stuffs a hunk of chicken in her mouth starts talking about something while cottage cheese was dripping from the corners of her mouth. Now you know when you get to the last few bites and you may use a piece of bread to help it to your fork, she laid her head on the table, mouth up to the plate and scooped the last bit of food into her mouth. This was a grown woman of 46 years old, not some little kid...........waiter.....check please!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Reaching across the table to grab something instead of asking to have it passed, talking with food dropping out of their mouth, farting at the table, using "outside voice," smacking their lips and licking the silverware, and BUUURRRPing their "approval" of a good meal.
He should have been eating out of a trough, but I don't want to insult pigs.

Answer 8

Once at a restaurant, the lady at the table next to me pulled out her little box of dental floss and started cleaning her teeth.

Answer 9

I wasn't eating with this guy, but he was at a table opposite me. He was eating spaghetti, and he would PICK UP the spaghetti by the end of the noodle and use his hands to wrap it around his fork! This was a grown man!

Answer 10

I haven't dined with someone in a LONG time, but two years ago, there was this careless chick who would put her elbows on the table. And myself and a group of girls were representing an important organization--along with our school.
