We learn this from our parents. I remember when I was younger and loved to pinch the top of the straw and bring the liquid out of the cup and then drink it. But I soon enough learned that it was not polite, my parents made sure of that. There is no sign at Red Lobster or any other nice restaurant that states:
No playing with food
No eating with your hands
Talking with your mouth full
No loud burping
No talking on cell phones
But it is engraved into our minds as small children that
this behavior is NOT okay. Restaurant etiquette is a rule that was put into
place silently/unsaid and unwritten. If these rules are broken the couple
across the dining room will stare you down and look in disbelief. This is an
unwritten rule in society.
