I would not want to pee at the table, or anything else where it means expelling a bodily fluid where people are eating!!! Why don't they go into a bathroom???

Because manners, etiquette, and polite behavior is no longer taught. Or could it be that as a society, we have decided that it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, we will not be inconvenienced by having to move from the table. We only have to worry about ourselves and no one else.

At one stage it was accepted in European society to pee at the table, they even provided special implements for it.
In the society where I live, it is ACCEPTABLE to blow your nose at a table as long as it is done discreetly, so maybeone should just make your personal preferences clear when someone like me visit. I would not to offend you.

relies upon on the variety of dinner and who else is on the table. in case you care what they think of roughly you or you should make a competent impact, excuse your self to the restroom. in case you do no longer desire to have dinner with them returned, by potential of all potential, blow away.

If you need to blow or pick that dry booger from your nose,excuse yourself and get up and go to the restroom. Don't forget to wash your hands.....oh and check the mirror to make sure you don't have a dry booger hanging out your nostril either,lol.

They should excuse themselves to another room - the bathroom and blow away.

You should see my dad at a dinner table. He smacks, slurps his ice, farts, and blows his nose. Gross!
