Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I'm another one for the fork in the right hand and never swapping it. Also when I'm in my own house I tend to just cut everything up in the kitchen and the knife doesn't need to leave the room (to get lost down the back of couch). For people who hand the knife back "unused"... why take it out the drawer? It's probably gonna get washed for being out anyway.
Ex was one for cutting everything with the side of her fork. Unsure if she had the co-ordination to use both hands at the same time. Didn't work too well as everything just kinda slid around the plate whilst she tore things apart.
Daughter insists on eating nearly everything with a spoon.

Don’t know how to start with everything that is wrong in this thread.

He's from Greenock, I'd imagine he's yet to master the spoon.

If he's from Greenock he's probably burnt the erse out of it

Not if you're capable of doing all that with your weaker hand. 

 

What's wrong with using that? You get more rice on a spoon than you do a fork. Far better utensil for the job. 

I'm utter scum. I use prawn crackers for scooping up the rice. Edible cutlery.

Why don’t you eat at a table. Would be better for your digestion.

I live in a flat, no room for a table.

Was school good today?

Weird how some folk believe they are more mature for liking (or not liking) certain foodstuffs. In these "good old days" of handrolling cigarettes and driving cars at 12, did you have to sign a contract to never again eat chicken strips or turkey twizzlers? Or did it just come naturally after your mates down the mines took the piss?

Your generation have f**ked the planet but at least you did it wearing nice socks and using your right hand to hold your knife.

Exactly. It's quite depressing how the Baby Boomers have forgotten how their hippy-dippy generation was dismissed in the Sixties as a bunch of wasters who'd be responsible for the downfall of society.

Also how, if they're unhappy with the attitudes and mores of younger people, they're literally responsible for it as the senior citizens of society. A big boy didn't raise us and run away.
