It's the rice that gets me every time. I can use the chopsticks (sort of), but getting a bunch of rice... it's like a magic trick. Then I end up trying to bring my mouth to the chopsticks, and all the rice is falling everywhere, and next people start to watch. In conclusion, I get hungry and frustrated and give up. Rat tat tat!

I use the chop sticks. I'm a terrible drummer.
by Galeanda on June 12th, 2008
I can use chopsticks pretty well. I could do either. I think if I'm with my husband and we're out in public, and he isn't up to using them, I'm more into using something else so he doesn't feel different.

hehe! Drum the table defintely drum the table lol :)
by Kricket on June 12th, 2008
I'll sometimes eat with chopsticks. I once impressed a date I was on with how quickly I had learned how to use them after he had showed me.

I ask the waiter for a shovel yo...
by King of Sexytown on June 12th, 2008
I put them in my mouth and pretend I'm a walrus.
by Merfish on June 12th, 2008
I use the chopsticks, in fact we bring our own because we prefer the square wood ones to the round or the plastic.
by Rude Bear Ready for Winter on June 12th, 2008
I do know how to use the chopsticks. I might, however, request wooden ones, as opposed to the plastic ones they've taken to using lately.
by The Special One on June 12th, 2008
You forgot one option: asking for a rubber band to make automatic chopsticks!
But I use them normally, without the rubber band. Korean restaurants are a different story.

by katydid15 on September 9th, 2008
I use the chopsticks.
by Done. never again. on September 9th, 2008
Haha. I usually take the chopsticks and keep them as souveniers. :)
by PartRadio loves YOU on September 9th, 2008
Haha one time I went to a Vietnamese restaurant with two Asian friends of mine (both Chinese). When the food was brought to the table, the server gave both of my Asian friends chopsticks and gave me (white guy) a fork. I was little offended - because I'm fairly proficient with chopsticks - but it was still hilarious.
by Tallyman on September 9th, 2008
I know how to use them, but I'm faster with a fork.
I'd just ask for a fork.
by Drastic on September 9th, 2008
I use the chopsticks. I'm a pro.
by Wulfweard on September 7th, 2008
I use chopsticks badly
by Misplaced_Diamond on September 7th, 2008
I make am absolute fool of my self either way because I cant play the drums to save my life and I wear my food if I even attempt to eat with them
by Toobad for you. on September 7th, 2008
The first and third ones... My dad is something of a hippy, so he taught me how to use chopsticks when I was fairly young. I'm also a drummer, so anything vaguely stick shaped gets beat on any flat surface I can find...
I've been slowly learning how to not do that last part in public; because people keep telling me how annoying it is. :/
by Katie on September 7th, 2008
I totally use the chop sticks!! It takes me sooo long to eat!!! Even my kids are into the chop sticks!!
by - M.C.S. - Dave on September 7th, 2008
I don't go to them very often. But when I do, I just bring along my own fork & spoon.....+5 for your question.
by Brian on September 7th, 2008
I try to use the chopsticks sometimes but I usually don't go past 3 or 4 attempts.
The predominantly Chinese (95% of the customers speak Chinese and use chopsticks) place that we go to has developed the habit of giving me silverware.
I drum on the table with the spoons using one hand while I tilt the plate down and into my mouth with the other. :p
by Gone. on July 7th, 2008
I use the chopsticks.
by Anonymous on July 7th, 2008
I'm not good with chopsticks. And I'm chinese! Lol! So.. I ask for a fork. But when I was a kid, I did drum on the table lol.
by GreenFreak on July 7th, 2008
I ignore them completely and use a fork and knife ^^
by QueenR eats the Terminator for breakfast on July 7th, 2008
No, I go and look for a bloody knife and fork! ;)
by Squirrel Face on July 7th, 2008
Use the chopsticks. I know how to use them, so why not?
by iwnit on July 7th, 2008
I love to use chopsticks!
by Tacet on July 7th, 2008
I use them (though apparently I hold them wrong). When the food's slippery I stab it with the chopsticks.
by bandit on July 4th, 2008
LOL. Love the question. I only have the use of one hand and arm, so learning to use chopsticks with the good hand was quite beneficial to me. Just one hand to eat with anyway. Yep, I use them, got pretty fair at it too.
by Gnome of Kevonia is a Cheerwine junkie on July 4th, 2008
I use them, very poorly.
by Talimze on July 4th, 2008
I can manage using chopsticks, though most of the time I end up just using them as spears to impale my shrimp on.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on July 4th, 2008
I know how to use chopsticks but am constantly donating mine to the kids. I just use the fork they offer.
by Anonymous on July 4th, 2008
I use the chopsticks and handle them very well.
by Shiloh on July 4th, 2008
i am really good at chopsticks. but probably better on the piano!
by Vampyre Bat on July 4th, 2008
I come right out and ask for a fork. I don't mess with those ridiculous sticks. If they are offended I will take my business elsewhere.
by larry on July 4th, 2008
haha, i wud use them as tooth picks.
by Jade on July 4th, 2008
I use chopsticks. My daughter and I are pretty much regulars at the local Chinese restaurant..so much so that one of the waitresses has taken to teaching us Chinese phrases when we come in. :-)
by Peregrine on July 4th, 2008
Whip out my knife and fork. No one can eat with chopsticks, it's physically impossible.
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on July 4th, 2008
After almost six years in the Far East, if I don't know how to use chopsticks, shame on me! : )
by cngirl on July 4th, 2008
what a cute question. I normally use chopsticks, but also use spoon.
by Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today on June 12th, 2008
I use the fork and the spoon.
I'm reallly cultured when it comes to tableware.
by Nursey loves the Sox on June 12th, 2008
I suck down the scorpion bowl with a straw...not chopsticks ;-)
by Drastic on June 12th, 2008
I know how to use chopsticks, but I prefer using a fork.
by JohnOBonno on June 12th, 2008
I always ask for a spoon so I can play air banjo.
by OldSchoolJunky runs at speed of light on June 12th, 2008
I always use the chopsticks.
by Time Lord on June 12th, 2008
I try to use them. I can sort of do it, but I'm not nearly as good as most customers.
by 12StringBabe on June 12th, 2008
I use the drumsticks - clumsily, but I use them :)
Shark fin soup, anyone?

The trick is to eat like the Chinese. Put the bowl up to your mouth and just shovel the rice in. Works for me. :D
