Have you WATCHED how people around you eat in public? Is it possible so many people haven't a clue about how to hold their utensils? I hate to be the bearer of bad news (that's a Cassandra, not a Curmudgeon) but there is little that makes a person look stupider than not holding silverware properly.
Yes, pajama pants and tattoos make you look pretty stupid, but I see this ape-like handling of utensils far too often. And I find it way scarier when a father is out with his family and HE is the offender, too backward to realize he is busily training a new generation to eat like Neanderthals.
And much to my chagrin, I've seen it on TV - some bonehead films a kid in a commercial holding his spoon as if it's the first time he's ever used one because the director thinks it's says "cute." News flash: it doesn't.
It says "look at me! I was brought up poorly! Keep watching and I will chew with my mouth open, too!" Yes, dear readers, it can even get worse.
