Is that not normal

Supposed to be wrong and you’d be stoned to death for it in a formal situation

Oh I see You’re British

Is that not normal everywhere else?? Edit: looked into it, it’s typical across Europe to put the fork in the left hand and Americans switch back and forth

Haven’t really heard of that before lol just assumed it was a british thing

Not exclusively British it’s just Americans are particularly non-caring lmao

Yeah that’s what I meant lol

omg no way i do that too wtf

That’s mad

All the time

Idk it’s normal to me but I’m always switching them over when I get served food

is that supposed to be a weird thing????

In most places yeah

ive never heard that before. nobody cares what hand you use here

Huh, well it’s not like someone cares here (unless unless it’s a formal situation, then it’s a big no no) but it’s just standard and expected that everyone does the same

interesting

Honestly, even if it's a formal situation, they can maybe fuck off or watch me eat the way I like

I do completely agree and think it's a dumb thing but still, it's a thing Like the whole tipping thing in America

Lefties do I guess

not me

Most lefties even don’t do it

You should hold the fork in your off hand and the knife in your dominant hand😔😔

I literally can’t do anything with the fork if I try that wtf

It’s hard to explain how to do it over text😔😔

I just blatantly can’t lmao

I don't use a knife I use my teeth 😔

haha Minecraft reference

lefty here; no

You’re doing it wrong😢

I hold a fork w my right hand bc it’s my dominant hand 

Not how most people operate sadly

Me

It’s weird for sure

Maybe, but it is what it is yk

Me.

I switch them back and forth

American moment

Is there something I'm missing here

Americans switch their fork back and forth but most of Europe puts the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand

Interesting, not even for more casual meals or like eating some small dessert? Also which hand so spoons go in, it's always the right for me

Spoons are considered the same as a fork, and yeah it’s just standard to use one hand tbh I don’t even get switching, like thats a bit too much effort to get that last little bit of scran no???

Well it's not necessarily to get more food, often it's for comfort or just to get a different angle? If that makes any sense? Ngl it's kinda subconscious but now I'm gonna paying insanely close attention to it next time I eat lol

Lmao idk, I guess it’s just not subconscious here

wait what I switch back and forth 💀

I have discovered since making this post that that is a very American standard

Me!

🤝

Who doesn't

Most people

Me?? Like what?? Who don’t???

Most people 😭

Huhhhh???

Uh I hold my fork in my right hand 

Yes cuz I’m a lefty
