That is why, I have been raised to always have paper napkins on me in a restaurant.

No, that's foul. Unless you're at home and it's your own personal towel.

No. If something disgusting goes into your napkin, ask for another. Wrap the old one up in the new one and mention the situation to the waiter so they know to dispose of it in a safe fashion.

No, don't do that. Just ask for some paper cocktail napkins from the bar.

I will never understand why men think it's fine to blow snot out their nose in public. And into a cloth napkin, or tissue. Treat it like farting in public.
Let me guess, you let those go in public, too?


Of course! Better out than in.

This is the first time I've gotten to be the "ew" poster - usually I'm the one that people say "ew" to - I wash my sheets monthly, I let my kids pick up trash on our walks, my kids routinely pick food up from the floor of our kitchen and eat it and I've long since shrugged it off.

But your snot does not belong at the table, full stop.


Yeah, after detailing the things you do, I don't think you get to be the "ew" poster.
