If you encounter these 3 situations at the banquet, it is recommended to put down your chopsticks and leave, not superstition, remember to tell your family after reading.
In our daily lives, we often participate in various banquets and gatherings, such as weddings, housewarming, full moons and company annual meetings. However, while enjoying food and spending time with others is enjoyable, sometimes we encounter people and things that are not satisfactory and negatively affect our catering experience. Today, I'm going to share four situations you encounter at a banquet that you should consider leaving immediately. What exactly is going on? Read on.
At the banquet, we meet all kinds of people. Their wealth, education, and behavior will vary greatly. We should be respectful to all people, but when we encounter certain uncivilized dining behaviors, we should try to avoid too much communication with the host in order not to cause trouble to the host. For example, if someone keeps picking and dropping on the plate during a meal, this behavior not only shows their rudeness, but also completely disregards the feelings of others, let alone respects. For people who behave this way, we don't need to have deep friendship with them.
In the first case, someone drinks too much, resulting in an embarrassing scene. While moderate drinking is a friendly gesture in some situations, it is not suitable for everyone or all social situations. If you are not used to drinking alcohol or are worried that you will lose control of your drinking, it is recommended that you carefully consider whether to participate in such a banquet. Because drinking too much alcohol may make you behave offensively or behave very inappropriately. This can seriously affect your professional image and relationships. If you feel that you are drunk, or may behave in a gaffe, then your wisest option is to politely say goodbye to the host and then leave the table to avoid embarrassment and distress to others.
In the second case, when we attend a wedding banquet, we usually find that each table is filled with tobacco, alcohol and candy. These items are primarily intended to meet the needs of guests, however, there are instances where some people may take these items for themselves. For example, when the table is not crowded or the dishes are not yet served, some friends may put cigarettes or candy in their pockets and claim that they only like it, or there are small children at home who need to be fed with candy. This behavior is obviously inappropriate, as it not only neglects respect for other guests, but also affects the atmosphere of the entire banquet. Therefore, if we encounter this situation, we should consider leaving this table as early as possible.
In the third case, we need to avoid sitting with those who are wound up. The behavior of these people will obviously ruin the atmosphere of the entire banquet. Completely disregarding the feelings of others, they pull their favorite dishes to themselves and enjoy them alone. If they haven't finished eating, they'll immediately ask the waiter for bags and take the rest of the dishes with them. This behavior is obviously extremely selfish, because it not only does not take into account the feelings of others, but also may affect the hygiene and safety of food. Although in Chinese tradition, packing is a good act to avoid waste, in formal banquets, this behavior may cause dissatisfaction and resentment among other guests. Therefore, if we encounter this behavior, we should choose to leave this table to avoid our own dining experience being affected.
Finally, if we notice a problem with the ingredients or food during a banquet, we should immediately put down our chopsticks and leave. Food safety and hygiene are issues that each of us must focus on. If the ingredients or food on the banquet have problems such as mold, spoilage, insects or odor, we should consider our own health and safety as soon as possible. Leaving is the only option. Similarly, when we encounter some unbearable situation during the banquet, we should also put down our chopsticks immediately and leave.
