I just don't understand the napkin on the lap. I ain't no barbarian letting food fall on my lap while I eat, and it forces the person to sit uptight crushing his balls. I like to seat manspreading style.
I get it. "I've mastered the art of eating without dropping shit in my lap. I do this with confidence. I can get the food to my mouth without dropping it."
That's all legit, but we're talking about "proper" table manners, of which very few make any sense whatsoever. That's just the way these things go.
It's as if you're having a Japanese Tea Ceremony, which has numerous rules and obligations. You could just say, "Pour the damn tea into my mouth," and that would be sufficient, but we're talking about a "ritual," not "man-spreading..."
If it makes you more comfortable, tuck the napkin under your nuts. No one will know the difference.
