starting your meal before your guests have received theirs.

picking a white because you have fish without asking what your steak eating guest would prefer.

topping up your own wine glass without / before offering others.

finishing the bottle and not ordering another whilst you guests have empty glasses.

talking with your mouth full.

trying someone elses desert before he/she has answered your 'that looks nice can i have a try?' question.

answering your mobile phone at the table.

having a 5min conversation with your frankly huge wife whilst at the table. .

being 5x more pissed than your guests at lunch.

all the above during one fking meal, . .

honestly how fking difficult is it to have some table manners????

Sounds like a fantastic double date. How did you settle the bill?

Well, it helps smile

Obviously someone who had dosh thrust upon them not brought up with it.

Some people honestly don't know better.

Or is that the crux of the problem?
