Banning elbows not being allowed on the table and hats not being allowed indoors are also wins for me

Elbows have always been allowed on the table. The rule for fancy dining was that you couldn’t have elbows on the table during a course, i.e., when people are actively eating, but before/after, it’s fine. That’s a reasonable rule to be considerate of space.

Exactly. Food on the table? Elbows off. It’s simple.

Well it’s never been an issue in any space I’ve eaten in, so I think you’re wrong.

Never been an issue for me. The issue would be invading someone’s personal space. Maybe we just have bigger tables where I live.

If elbows aren’t allowed on a table during a course of a fancy dinner, they have definitely not always been allowed on the table.

I like the way we don’t have to wear petticoats under our dresses anymore.

I mean doesn’t everyone still at least wear the stretchy shorts under their dress? Like I’m not going just panties. That seems so lewd.

As someone who can’t sit straight I only wore shorts and trousers until I learnt this trick in my twenties. While I personally don’t find it lewd, other people clearly do and I get so pissed off every time someone feels the need to inform me that they’ve been looking up my skirt.
