Don't ask me why I asked this question in Yahoo Answers today or how I thought of it. I just did. Here is the question, followed by the answers:
"I am going out to dinner with friends tonight and am forgetting my manners. Is it okay to reach across the table as long as I keep one knee on my seat?"
Answers
"No its not proper, ask someone to pass you what you need."
"Yes, it is."
"um idk (I don't know)..all i know is that u shouldnt put ur elbows on the table while u eat..but i do it anyway."
"No...lol It's never o.k. to reach !!!"
"Instead of reaching across the table, ask someone to pass it to you. Also, don't chew or talk with food in your mouth, don't burp and put the napkin in your lap. Enjoy!"
"if u are going out with friends it shouldn't matter how u act. be urself. they are ur friends right?"
"I'm not much of a manners person (not saying I'm messy) but if you're a teen almost everything is ok unless you puke or something.....but I think you have to ask someone to hand you the item if you have to stretch your arm all the way straight."
"JUST ASK SUMWON TO PASS iT DUH."
"do what ever you want. so long as your not "in your face rude" they should love you anyway. if they dont i shouldnt worry about them."
"Usually if you are getting up on the table it is to entertain your friends so your manners left you a drink or two ago."
"Depends how proper ur friends are. I have always heard that you're not suppose to reach that you should get someone to pass it to you."
"If its friends- do whatever you want. ACT YOURSELF! its always nice to be polite, I would say it all depends on the atmosphere. If it a classy place, I would recommend asking for someone to pass. If its a pizza joint- reach away..."
"if you reach be sure to keep your elbow out of the candles and the gravy and stuff."
"My momma always said it was bad manners to talk with yer mouth full...so ya can't ask for what you want when you got grub in yer mouth so reaching is fine....but keep that knee on the seat!!!"
