[@practicalpen1990]

My parents taught me these things as a kid in the 90s. I'm impressed how most people my age don't know them, like I was the only person who was purposefully taught at home, and they weren't at all. These videos need a comeback.

[@cici2562]

I taught my children to put their napkins in their laps while eating (especially at a restaurant) and now they won’t do it because they don’t believe me that it’s a real thing! So apparently NO ONE is learning table manners now and that is just depressing.

[@catherineannelockman3805]

My children were taught proper table manners...and to be quite honest, my husband has TERRIBLE table manners...it is embarrassing, to say the least...I have to remind him if we are going out to use his manners...the thing is, when wr were first dating, he used proper manners and didn't eat like a barn animal, or I wouldn't have gone out with him again...mealtime isn't fun for me, as his way of eating disgusts me...eats a meal in 5 minutes flat, eats with his mouth open, sucks his fingers loudly instead of using a napkin, and holds his fork like a 1 year old...I do love him though...

[@ehmincorrect3603]

@@cici2562I will never forget being taught these manners then going out to eat with friends for the first time. Everyone laughed when I put my napkin in my lap lol. I had to unlearn manners to fit in, and I’m sure many other people have too unfortunately

“People judge many things about you, just by how you eat,” Future Chuck says as I sit, cross-legged on my sofa, eating brown sugar-cinnamon Pop Tarts while using a throw pillow as a plate to catch the crumbs.

[@cveis5678]

This, can I say thank you for making me feel better about my own personal shame. I'm laying across my bed sideways eating cookies from Whole Foods for dinner well using a pillow as a crumb catcher ... I'm 30. Glad to know I'm not alone in my choices.

[@carolinesantos1165]

Proper etiquette was taught to me at home and I went to public school that everyone was required to take a etiquette class, how to eat properly, speak in public, speak properly on the phone and to conduct yourself at a interview at a job.

[@pennypay1]

It certainly does. In these modern times, a lot of people spurn etiquette courses because they're 'old-fashioned' and say that using the 'wrong' fork is inconsequential. Others argue that they're 'classist' or 'elitist' because everything from clothing to addressing others is supposed to be totally egalitarian now. I disagree. Table etiquette makes interaction more organized and it adds to ambiance. And job interviews give a person one chance to make a favorable impression.

[@thomaslandcaster9638]

Love the part where future Chuck snap his finger and all the dishes disappeared, present Chuck said mother's should see that. Future Chuck is a smooth cool dude with hip manner attitude.

[@shadownaki]

Chuck's sweater probably allows him to time travel and materalize random foods out of thin air every friday. As atrocious as it may be, i would rock that shit

[@pennypay1]

Unless Chuck's family is Catholic. No meat on Fridays- especially not ham and especially not before 1965.

[@tjmarx]

Chuck is schizophrenic. That's why no one else can see any of those things but chuck. It's all the hallucinations of a lonely and isolated child.

[@AnxietyAddict]

Wait a minute If Chuck from the future is telling Chuck from the past how to have good table manners then surely at some point Chuck learns how to have good table manners, and he learns a good deal about it as he's aware of both the American and European methods. Older Chuck wouldn't need to worry about younger Chuck not knowing these things right now because he knows that he will eventually learn them. Is there some kind of paradox going on here. Chuck only knows about these things because he himself told him them. I don't know it's really confusing.

[@memphis3800]

ASMRWhisperLight. I commented this same thing

[@miekekuppen9275]

Since younger Chuck in the example of how it SHOULD go is elbowing both his potential neighbors into the ear nothing really matters anyway.

[@janecollette9504]

MJ Music Only one explanation, aliens.

[@lucassouza5370]

That's a paradox right there, which means that when future Chuck was younger anothet future Chuck came to teach him good manners too, you're right, they should learn not to mess with time 😂😂😂, another Chuck will come to tell them that.

[@FillingtheVoidRevues]

Why did he go back in time to teach about table manners when he could have gone back a little farther and killed Hitler?

[@Sharon-pb7so]

[@stupidmangoz]

Sounds like an asshole who should have his mouth ripped out of his head. I don't give a single care for someone dying if they hate cursing, it's literally a "bad word" because the people who invented the exclamations were poor. And Christians hated on poor people. Fuck him

[@VaclavKosar]

Actionable Summary: 🙂 - When sitting down to dinner and faced with multiple utensils, then always use the silverware from the outside in. - When dealing with clean dry foods like bread, then it is acceptable to eat them with your fingers. - When dealing with messy or sticky foods, then use a fork. - When holding a fork, then do so by placing the end of the handle in the palm of your hand. - When placing food on your fork, then only put onto your fork one mouthful of food at a time. - When talking during a meal, then lay your fork down until you're ready to eat again. - When eating with a fork and knife, then hold the meat down with the fork and cut and not tear the meat with the knife. - When eating soup, then don't tip the bowl, take the soup away from you, not fill the spoon too much and eat from the side of the spoon. - When offered food you don't like, then politely decline by saying "no thank you". - When you have finished eating, then indicate it by placing your knife and fork this way. - When entering the dining room, then allow ladies to go first. - When finding your place at the table, then remain standing until everyone is seated. - When dining at a social event, then remember the purpose is to have a good time, not to see how much or how fast you can eat. - Always when at a table, remember that good manners involve consideration for others, common sense and courtesy.

It is pretty funny. I swear the writing on the invitation looks exactly like my Mom and Grandma's hand writing. I think that must just be the way they taught girls who were born in the 1910's up to the 1940's to write. It seems like boys weren't taught the same style. Each man in that age range seem to write differently. Grandpa to father in law to father. All wrote differently.Even my mother in law and Grandma in law write that same way. I still like how neat and clear it is to read.

+Toast Master People who were alive back then know these films are not accurate. These films just served as a "suggestion" on how to act in public or at the dinner table etc. Just as dental hygiene films are a suggestion for optimal dental health....it doesn't mean people actually do it. There are generations of people who have formed their entire impressions of the 1950s based on these "public service" films. Kids in the 50s used to laugh at these films when shown in school.
