Yes....it is sickening to the other people. Go to the washroom. I carry floss in my purse for that reason.

Yes. It's rude and disgusting. My father-in-law has a habit of doing this, whether I'm in their house or we're in a restaurant. It's rude and it's disgusting. Sometimes, he doesn't even bother with a toothpick, just his fingers. In a restaurant or at home with others, it's rude and gross and disrecpectful.

Yep. When someones eating their meal, their not gonna want to see someone picking their teeth. That would make me lose my appetite.
Most restaurants have a bathroom. They're not their for nothin'.

Well I personally think it is a bit rude to do so in the presence of others, the polite thing to do would be to excuse yourself and do it in the restroom.. either that or try to do so with your napkin as discretely as you possibly can.. or you can always try to see if you can use your tongue for it :) Just as long as no one knows you're doing it is fine in my opinion.. I mean what people won't know won't hurt them right? ;)

It depends on where you are eating and who you are with. If you sense that there is a huge piece of broccoli wedged in your tooth, say "may I be excused" and go to the bathroom.

in basic terms attempt to no longer consume something which you comprehend gets caught on your tooth. you need to use your tongue in case you do no longer sense like going to the bathing room everytime nutrition gets caught. Or, you need to use the serviette to cover the toothpick, %. your tooth and pretend which you're wiping your mouth. Drink some water to do away with crumbs on your mouth. once you consume meat or vegetables, ascertain you bite on the tooth, no longer between 2 of them. and don't bite plenty, in basic terms adequate which you would be able to swallow it. those ought to shop you distinctive bathing room journeys.

Yes, try doing so in private (i.e. - in the restroom) otherwise you might find some disgusted looks coming your way and of course your date wouldn't be impressed!!

If in the restroom, no not at all. At the table, rude is not the word I would use. I would say that is gross. God bless****
