Throughout 2008 we will present little (sometimes unknown) facts about how to be a gentleman. While we are working towards it, we don’t claim to be the authority on the topic. However, Mr. John Bridges literally wrote the book How To Be A Gentleman. For lesson #7 we quote Mr. Bridges’s from his book in regards to some real life scenarios about going to dinner:
- “A gentleman knows when it is all right to eat the garnish.”
- “When a gentleman has an unpleasant time at a restaurant, he does not badger the wait staff. He lodges his complaint with the management. Unless he is a glutton for punishment, he does not go back to that restaurant.”
- “After business hours, a gentleman does not carry his cellular phone into a restaurant.”
- “If a gentleman is on a diet, he does not talk about it at the table.”
