Would you look down/think lesser of an adult if they didn’t know how to use chopsticks?

Say if you’re with a group of adults and you go out for sushi, and you notice someone doesn’t use chopsticks because they don’t know how to. Would you think lesser of them?

[rigmarole]

I don't care, people can eat how ever they want to eat... That said chopsticks are not exactly rocket science. It's just two sticks. It's like holding two pencils in your hand at the same time. You squeeze them around you food to shovel it into your mouth... If you're more concerned with formality, you you always place your chopsticks parallel to the table edge with the tips toward the left when you are not using them on a chopstick holder, your plate, or even a soy sauce condiment dish... Other than that, there's not much to know.

Using chop sticks properly and effectively requires practice and some coordination. It's not for everyone. My Asian friends use like an extension of their fingers which comes from using them exclusively from a very young age. Practice makes perfect. It not a shameful thing if you're not great with using them.

[rosemilk]

nope, it's okay if you don't know how to use them or don't want to use them

[OlderAndWiser]

My fiancée is Chinese-American so I have learned to use chopsticks. Otherwise, I would still be an amateur with chopsticks. No, I don't think less of anyone who can't use them efficiently.

[exitseven]

Yes, only a moron can;t use chopsticks

[Asker]

Are you being sarcastic or serious lol

[NamerOfStars]

No. Why would I? Forks and spoons are easier to work with. More environmentally friendly, too.

And I can say from experience that food tastes the same, either way.

[Sparkie460]

I don't think less of anyone because they don't know how to do something. They just never were taught

[KillinItHard]

Yoooo, I use them like spears! I rarely try to use them and just wind up creating a scene when I do. I can't use chopsticks at all, lmfao.

[shortster]

Nope, some people are just not coordinated enough for them.

[Anonymous]

No. The reverse actually. How is that a flex? It'd be like if I thought I was superior because I knew how to use a telegraph.😆

[JacobJordan]

Wouldn't even cross my mind.

[RebelinSteel]

No, that would be stupid and pointless

[Asker]

Yeah there’s been times I went out to eat with people at Asian restaurants and everyone was shocked I didn’t know how to use them. So much so that I went on to learn how to use them.

[RebelinSteel]

I’ve been out to countries that use them, I can use them but sometimes I just don’t bother and use fork

[sheikalana]

Of course not.

[Iron_Man]

No lol nobody uses those nowadays

[Iron_Man]

How good would a person do with those chopsticks with Cupid carpal tunnel syndrome?

[Iron_Man]

Cupital

[Asker]

Well, adding in a medical condition is pushing the question into a totally different direction that I did not intend. I’m referring to a normal/healthy functioning adult who is at an Asian restaurant where chopsticks are predominantly used.

[Iron_Man]

I live in Miami not very many people use chopsticks and most Chinese restaurants are closed now due to COVID-19. They’re only open for takeout through the years of me growing up very rarely. Do I see people using it an especially Chinese people. And I have a Chinese friend that used to own a restaurant.

[verylovelyguy]

Definitely yes

[jahaims]

No lol

[LRSJame]

no...

[LavLavLuv]

Nope
