If You Follow One of These Dining Etiquette Rules, Call Yourself Smart!
We collected some simple dining etiquette rules to follow while on dates or when meeting with friends. If you follow these rules, you’ll feel confident and look great at any event and the people you are with will think of you as a nice, polite person.
If there is no seating plan, guests should wait standing until the host of the event shows them their seats. Men help ladies sit down and move the chairs out for them. Those who are late are not to keep everyone waiting for more than 20 minutes.
A fork should be held with the prongs pointing down so that you can pick up the pieces of food with them (instead of using it like a spoon except for in cases when the food if soft like mashed potatoes). Your pointer finger should be placed along the handles of the fork and knife, and the other fingers should be around the handles.
According to etiquette, the lady participates in choosing the food and gets to choose it first. When a waiter brings a bottle of wine, the man shouldn’t open it and pour the wine himself — this is the waiter’s job.

370th comment!
Rather than leave my real name when reserving a table at a restaurant that uses a PA system to call its customers to the table…which would eventually result in the announcement of "Stevens, party of 2" (or whatever number of people are with me), I use one of the following as a surname to hold the reservation, just to lighten the mood among all the tired, hungry masses yearning for a table (or booth):
1. Loud*
2. Office
3. Political
4. Donner
5. Retirement
6. Whig
*Hint: "Loud" is the best one to use because when they call your name, you and all the people with you can justifiably start cheering and yelling at the top of your lungs, i.e., "HOOORAY! AT LAST! LET"S EAT." Everybody will get it and you actually won't get kicked out of the restaurant. You might even get a complimentary appetizer as a reward for providing some entertainment.

Never pay for the woman's food. Always go dutch or have the woman pay the entire bill.
As a 8 year old child my father gave me a book on etiquette. I was expected to read the entirw book and i I was quizzed over it.
Wait what am I watching this!?!?😕
1:31 – 1:41 You've angried me to the highest degree with your sexism!
146 feminists and SJWs got triggered by this…
Don't pass gas or trim your toenails before dessert.
