i worked with someone who had terrible manners...she would slurp everything--even salads. just imagine that sound...like some people make with soup (which is also terrible), but with "dry foods"...i would sometimes need to leave the room she was so gross....i kept imagining what man would take her out to dinner and if he would ever ask for a second date once he witnessed this dibiacle.
It's tough to tell an adult to not eat w/mouth open or talk w/food in their mouth. I've tried w/one of my brothers, he eats like a dang pig. I say everything I can w/out just blurting out "shut your pie hole when you eat!" He gets offended too easily.
MIL usually has buffet style and she'll get seconds before the men get thru the line, she just butts right in. Drives my wife and FIL nuts, he usually says something to her or me(seams were always last in line, and he won't let me go last). One time he said to me "you think we'll get bread AND butter this time?"
One thing I hate is napkins on the table, they should be on the lap.
Another problem I have is waiters take'n food before your done. Last time I went out to eat the waitress started to take my plate as I had food on the fork and up to my mouth. The plate was still 1/2 full! My mouth was full and my wife told her that she didn't think I was done eating.
I guess it's just hard for people to be as perfect as I am.

I agree about everything you said. the thing i hate most is people that smack or eat with their mouth open that is so barnyard! where the heck were these people raised anyway ? no one smacks at my table unless they want to get smacked. LOL

What surprises me is one of my brothers. When we were kids, and even now, we used our manners or ......I don't even want to know what mom would do to us!
He was raised right, but I don't know about HS(I was in college) and after. He hasn't had many gf's, surprise, but you'd think he would know what he is doing. But then again this new gf is kindof a slob too.

What I do when someone's eating obnoxiously loud,I just shoot em a dirty look. Most times they get it,sometimes they don't^
As for the waitesses taking your food too early,amen on that! I've been noticing this for years. Again I remain very staunch and just tell them straight out that I'm not done(in a very 'are you kidding?' type way). People with me get all embarrassed and sh and say I'm being hard on the waitesses and that they'll probably spit in my food or something...why? I was merely guiding them on proper waiting etiquette I've read articles on that plus I've seen the difference between the way they do it at finer restaurants vs how they corral people at chain places etc. I know it's the management that pressures them to hurry people up all for table turnover. I even had the waitress try and hurry us to pay the bill quick just so she wouldn't have a big gap in the 'opening and closing' time for the check.
I wish sales people would look at people as humans and not subjects for their 'contests'.

Same here-you can tell so much about a person by their table manners.
