Learn Proper Etiquette
Let me tell you a funny story. One of my girlfriends, Eva, went to her boyfriend’s parents’ house to meet them for the first time. The crew was all gathered together in the kitchen having a blast, drinking wine and telling stories when Eva had to go to the bathroom. The nearest half-bath was only a few steps from the kitchen. So, Eva used the bathroom, washed her hands, then returned to the kitchen for some more fun and laughter. But…everyone…sort of…looked at Eva funny. Finally, her boyfriend Jack pulled her aside and said, quite annoyed, “Eva, everyone heard you peeing! Couldn’t you have turned on the faucet to drown out the sound or something? That’s so gross!” Eva was completely humiliated. Jack was embarrassed. And Jack’s parents questioned Eva’s upbringing. Irresistible women must learn proper etiquette.
Obviously, you’ll need to buy a good etiquette book to learn everything there is to know about the subject. But here’s a few of the most proper etiquette issues to get you started:
At dinner. Learn the difference between a salad fork (on the far left, next to the largest fork), a dinner fork (the largest of all the forks), a shrimp fork (tiniest fork) and a dessert fork (positioned at the top of the dinner plate). If it’s hot food, you don’t have to wait until everyone is served before you begin eating. But if the dinner guests are religious, wait until the blessing is said before you pick up your utensils. Do NOT overeat. One serving is quite enough. If you’re a guest at someone’s home for dinner, please be sensitive to the cook’s feelings and at least sample the food he/she has cooked. Never insult anything. For example, if you are vegetarian and are offered meat, politely say “No thank you.” Don’t say something like, “Oh no. I don’t eat meat. I think it’s disgusting. Do you know that when you die you’ll have 10 lbs. of undigested red meat in your intestine? Do you also know that you’re at risk for mad cow disease?” This is a sure way to get the host(s) to never ask you back.
When you’re a guest. When visiting someone’s home, be sure to learn their methods of doing things. Ask where you should put your wet towel when you’re done showering. Ask if they are early risers or late sleepers; you don’t want to be rude by waking them up in the morning. Be sure to clean up after yourself; rinse out the sink when you’re done brushing your teeth and your hair.
