Gee, I think I have been taught good table manners. I don't place my elbows on the table, eat with my mouth open nor do I smack, slurp, burp or fart while eating.
One thing I'm very(humbly) proud of is that I taught my son when we have guests in our home or when we are eating at a restaurant is he should not sit down but stand behind his chair and wait until every female has set down at the table. He also knows that if during a meal a female stands up to go to the bathroom he must immediately stand up while she is walking away from the table and stand up and acknowledge her again as she approaches the table and if he is sitting next to her then he must pull her chair out for her.

Hope not, even in our simple council home I like to think my manners are quite good, sometimes there is bad language but certainly not with a mouthful of food, and elbows on the table are definitely a no no, don't smoke any more either, I also consider myself quite cultured compared to the bum neighbours that used to live around me, of course that's just me, I don't give a s**t about anything or anyONE else.
No offence intended to anybody!!!!!!

At one time when I was in the service we were actually trained on etiquette.. Years ago I could sit down and eat with the Queen of England.. And know what and how to use everything. At the same time they also trained us to sit down with homeless/ bums,junk,trash, and also fit in. I'm just an old country boy, but you do need to fit In to their Society so your not singled out.

My mother and my aunt drilled it into me - - table manners, so naturally, I find appalling the lack of table manners of people in a restaurant and even among my friends. I guess teaching your kids table manners is a lost art. My dad even taught me a few things about what not to do at the table and what I should do .
