Persecuted for Eating a Certain Way

People persecute me because I like to eat with my mouth open.

I really don't understand it =/.

That said, that article is pretty sad. God forbid he eat like a civilized human being.

EDIT - > That's exactly how I eat, except for the fact that I normally use my fingers instead of the fork.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The only time I can think of where two utensils are actually necessary are for things like steak, since you need a knife and fork. But again, it's obvious the issue here wasn't about the way he ate, it's about the racism of the principal and/or school.

Also, being asked not to eat with your mouth open is completely understandable...it's noisy and extremely distracting. And nobody likes see-food. Unless you've got a cold, or there's some other special circumstance that prevents you from breathing through your nose, there's no reason not to eat with your mouth closed.

Yeah, but I generally have a hard time understanding why I should change by eating habits just because somebody is offended. God forbid anything so terrible should happen that someone else would get OFFENDED.

But yes I see where you are coming from I just relish in having bad table manners. My mother gave up on me years ago .

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This may be stereotypical of black people, but I'm pulling the race card on this one.

I lick my plate clean....especially after baked potatoes, all the butter that didn't soak into the potato is in a pool at the bottom of the plate, mixed in with the cheese, salt, pepper, and whatever else, and it tastes SOOOOOO good.

I usually try to let out at least 3 good belches at every meal, just for my mother .

Itchy balls? IDK I think it would be more rude to sit there and dance in your chair when you could just discretely reach down, slip your hand in your pants, and relieve that itch. Now if he was masturbating at the table, then THAT would be pretty rude.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
