I don’t know who started the urban myth that it’s polite to slurp noodles in Japan, but it’s not true. Sure, it’s done as an efficient way to cool down hot noodles (rather than the messier way of blowing on them) and is not frowned upon, but no chef is going to take it as a compliment.
That being said, who has the worst table manners among your family/friends?
I've got some rather less than flattering table manners (at least in terms of having the phone out and basically eating my food like its the hot dog eating contest). Not ashamed of it but something to slowly but surely work on.
Miracle of miracles, the post office delivering before noon! For years 15+, I'd see the carrier delivering at 8 PM when I was locking the gate, if they got here at 6, it was early.
