[quote=Anonymous]Here are some little things that I notice:

(1) When someone walks in a room and you're sitting down, you stand up to greet them.

(2) When you are taking a food item (even a cookie off of a plate) at a school or work function, you use tongs.  (You don't just touch the cookie directly.)

(3) You eat slowly and take small bites.

(4) You have a lot of emotional intelligence -- greet people warmly, show a genuine interest in people, ask questions, etc.

(5) You have good orthodontics and take good care of your teeth.

(6) You do not lick your fingers when eating.

(7) Here's one that I'm having a had time teaching my kids -- When eating something with your hands (like a sandwich, burger, or pizza), you put the item down between bites and wipe your mouth with a napkin.  You do not hold the food item continuously until you're done with it.  And after wiping your mouth, you would ideally ask your dinner companion a question about their day or something of interest to them.  Then, while listening to their answer, you can pick up the food item and continue eating it.[/quote]
