YES
Sorry, but you’ve had some really stupid answers. I was born in UK in 1950 (male) and we had a set way with cutlery, so that whether we were at home or out somewhere dining we weren’t ‘fazed’ by the cutlery arrangement. Nowadays I notice my younger friends eat differently – they use the knife and fork the other way round, and other friends don’t know how to cope with ‘complicated’ cutlery arrangements at weddings etc. I really don’t know whether it MATTERS or not, but I sometimes think that just for social ease, and the avoidance of embarrassment, we ought to know the ‘correct’ ways. But then again, anyone who knew the ‘correct’ ways would never, ever embarrass anyone who wasn’t that familiar with them. Just let people eat how they want, and enjoy their conversation. What they have to say is far more interesting than HOW they hold their knife and fork.
I just use a spoon and a crust of bread to push the food on! That tends to ***** just about everybody off! But I feel realy mellow!
I once removed my own gall bladder with an oyster fork… does THAT count?
;o]
I probably make “mistakes” all the time as I’m left-handed and the cutlery is often set out wrong for me.
Or are the cutlery setters committing a faux pas by putting my eating irons in the wrong place for me?
Can open… worms all over the place!
sod the cutlery i use my fingers !
Not a person that entertains much, and in this house , by choice , things tend to not match, that is my rebellion . I will not be dictated to as to how to decorate my home, nor my table .
Yes, all the time. Steak knives work well on bread; not even to mention the time I ate turkey and potatoes with chopsticks.
It’s funny the way that people who ‘rebel against etiquette’ all have the same reaction when THEY are treated in an impolite way…outrage!
Etiquette is not something we are born with,it’s taught.If you want to rebel,find a cause not an aggravation.
No I wanted a good grade in business etiquette.
When my brother was little he held his fork with his fist and licked the knife to tick me off, because I had to do the dishes.
Sometimes just for the hell of it! Usually spaghetti bolognese with a spoon just because I can’t be bothered all that twisting the spaghetti around the fork and splashing it all over my best clothes!
Never! Why would someone want to rebel against good manners?
rarely
Im quite a rebel but thats pushing it to far!!! but does it matter??
People used to think I was wierd because I would bring my chopsticks to school and use them to eat cafeteria food.
my husband never uses a knife when eating his meals
The wrong cutlery? Like eating your fry up with a spoon? Weirdo.
yes, i like to use the salad fork for my meal and meal fork for my salad, im such a rebel….
No I’m very ‘cooth’. Find it works better that way in good company.
Only when aiming at an intruder!!!
Have a great day!
That’s a silly question. Why rebel against good manners?
Yes! I scooped mashed potato down my throat with a hoe last week! To hell with the pretentiousness!!!!!

No!!!
All the time.
