Luckily, wifey lived many years in Murkinstan and Europe, so she has learned the correct table manners. And if she really wants to slurp, then she can always eat at a different time/place from me; if she wants to live that is
Yokohammer wrote:Yeah, I can handle slurping noodles, sorta, but that's about it. People who do it with coffee and tea come close to triggering my gag reflex. Same with people who talk while chewing. That's just gross. And excuses that "it's the Japanese way" are just plain wrong. Ask anyone who has a clue about traditional Japanese manners. It's just an excuse to be a lazy slob. Blech.
kurogane wrote:according to The Native Code possessing proper manners does not empower you to then impress upon those less blessed unless there is full intimacy (i.e family), to do so is both presumptuous and exceedingly boorish in its own right, and the correct response is to grin and bear it, as befits a masochistic ethos based peoples. Remonstration is a sin of indulgence whereas bad manners are a sin of ignorance, and if I remember my Boodah indulgence always trumps ignorance on the sin scale.
