As long as you just use them to dab your mouth. The golden rule is that a napkin should never be used to blow your nose on. This is a definite no-no. Napkins should be placed across the lap - tucking them into your clothing may be considered 'common'.

And if you're in Europe, don't call them napkins or you will get a funny look. Most consider that term reserved for sanitary pads. Use "serviette" instead.

Here are some serviette cartoons to keep you smiling:

You can also listen to a napkin per Wikipedia:
Nardwuar the Human Serviette

Websitehttp://www.nardwuar.com
Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Ruskin, July 5, 1968) is a Canadian celebrity interviewer and musician from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He legally changed his name in 1986, and argues that "no one refers to Iggy Pop as 'James Osterberg'". When asked to explain his name, Nardwuar once quipped "Nardwuar equals dumb silly name, like Sting; Human means human, as in Human Fly; and Serviette is something you can't get in the U.S. because down there they're called napkins."

No! i told you to eat with a fork, and you insisted on eating with your fingers, so deal with it.
