Do's

Do ask your neighbor to pass something instead of reaching over someone to get to it (you may tip it in someone's lap).J

Do sip soup or tea quietly (the slurping sound is quite distracting) J

Do watch your neighbor if you're not sure which utensil to use (hopefully, he, or she, lead you in the right direction.) J

Don'ts

Don't talk with your mouth full (We don't want to see what's in there!) J

Don't put the entire soup spoon in your mouth (We wouldn't want you to look like a blow fish) J

Don't pick your teeth at the table (It's not a pretty sight)
