You know how in old-timey cartoons sometimes they'll tuck a napkin into their collar when they're getting ready to eat and use it like a bib? Is this a thing people actually did once or is it just a silly thing cartoon characters do? If people really did it, why did they stop? Or do people do it all the time and I just never see them? These questions are gnawing at me GBS, please help me resolve them.

The narrative back then was people who tuck their napkins into their shirt are uncouth or lower class, so it's suggesting those traits about the character to the viewer. Like the standard is you just put it in your lap to catch food that falls off your fork or something, right. I think if you were to wear it like a bib it more suggests you can't even keep it in your mouth, like a toddler.

my parents always wanted us to fold the cloth napkins over our laps when we ate out at "upscale" (olive garden) restaurants i don't get it, i never spill food on my lap, what's the point. maybe it's happened once or twice in decades of being an adult, but not enough to need to keep my napkin there instead of just on the table. just sit like a normal person and try to keep the food mostly over the plate and table as it goes from your utensils into your mouth. what's the deal, did anyone else get taught this weird behavior?

Tuck the table cloth directly into your collar for a maximum protection food apron

yep, and then getting up and causing everyone's dishes and plates to get yanked off the table as you walk away can be your signature move

Bad Purchase posted:my parents always wanted us to fold the cloth napkins over our laps when we ate out at "upscale" (olive garden) restaurants Yeah I was taught this too and it’s kind of ingrained enough where if I’m eating somewhere “nice” I’ll still do it even though half the time the end result is the napkin itself ending up on the floor.

i tell them i'll be in the can and ask them to bring the food to me there. i can eat fully naked to avoid staining my clothes and flush the leftovers at the end. plus i like to get a lot of refills and it's nice to just let it flow after 3 or 4 diet cokes

Bad Purchase posted:my parents always wanted us to fold the cloth napkins over our laps when we ate out at "upscale" (olive garden) restaurants Yeah, my parents always insisted on this, both at restaurants and at home (but only for dinner(???)). I could never understand it because when I take a bite of food I'm already sort of leaning over my plate anyway. I guess it's a good idea for people who like to lean back in their chair when they eat but it's not like that was something we were allowed to do either. I ended up just using it as a normal napkin for my hands, although having it on my lap made it a lot more awkward since now it looked like I was wiping my hands on my legs. They actually weren't super strict about table manners, but the napkin-on-lap thing seemed important to them. I assume it's just an outdated boomer thing, like cursive.

Table manners are about showing respect to everyone around and demonstrating that you understand what's expected of you in a specific setting It doesn't actually matter to the act of consuming food which fork you eat your salad with, how you eat your soup, what you're wearing, or if your napkin is in your lap, but it's uncouth not to do it the proper way because eating a meal with other people isn't just an exercise in calorie intake, it's a social interaction NOT DEFENDING THIS, JUST OFFERING AN EXPLANATION
