Transcript

You're invited to dinner and you know proper table etiquette. You place the napkin on your lap and keep your elbows off the table. You wait until everyone is served before eating your meal. You don't talk with food in your mouth. You swallow, then you talk. You keep your phone off the table to be more present. If you want something, you don't reach across the table, you ask someone. "Can you pass me the mashed potatoes, please?" You include everyone in the conversation. "Yo, what do you think about that?" "Yeah, I think it's a really good idea." When you're done eating, you place your utensils on the plate like this. And before leaving, you thank the person who invited you. "Thanks for having me, the food was great." "You were extremely respectful. I'm gonna follow you for more tips."
