Aww. She forgot to mention that you only pass the bread to the right when the moon is a waning gibbous or a waxing crescent. In all other cases, you pass it to the left after circling the salt and pepper shakers around the basket three times--four times if the host/hostess is wearing green or turquoise. Otherwise, a spot on tutorial!

then your rank as a business man is not exactly the highest, because if you had dined in the extremely expensive restaurants of upper-class society then you would have followed these rules.

I though a lot of this was well known? Why is everyone acting like it's crazy and ridiculous?

@theweight11 What dick?

[theweight11]

Wait, so what hand do I use to pull my dick out when I have to pee?

This video is so out sync that it was more funny than informative .

[gwirgalon]

no, this is basic professioanl manners that had a reason to happen, and most people don't know fo. After if you break a rule, know what it is you are breaking...because someone there may know it too..And in your professional world,knowledge is power..and real choice.

These things give subconcious clues that are powerful. Don'y underestimate because you yourself may never have heard of these. For many in the world, they count more than the words you say..C'est comme ça.

The voice, images, and vid don't match. Needs to be redone.

@GabuEx hahaha

I almost closed a huge deal with a partner that would've made my company millions, but I entered my chair from the left side, and that caused my business partner to start screaming obscenities and then kill me with a large broadsword. Had I watched this video, I would be alive today, and in good standing with my employer. Thanks, Syndi!

@godchildzor Its a sense of insecurity that is bugging them LOL

[godchildzor]

If there is a standard side to sit down from no one will bump into anyone else. By passing the food in a certain direction it speeds up the process and nullifies the possibility of one person ending up with food from two directions. By passing the salt and pepper together you always know where you have them. Knowing what side you have your glass and bread on prohibits misunderstandings regarding these. I don't understand what you kids find so horrifying about this.
