Here's one that gets me. Having to put a napkin in your lap. I &$%@ing refuse to do it. I never ever ever ever ever spill anything in my lap (exception being the chicken wing that rolled down my shirt and down my shorts last Tuesday). And I'm not sure if it's my big lips or the way I eat or something, but I like to wipe my mouth after basically every bite. Now why would I put the napkin that I'm using to wipe my mouth and hands with on top of my clean clothes? It's senseless so I just don't do it. It's a stupid rule.
Anybody else?

when tradition dictates that CP users should pile on sliver because of his overt honesty, i usually abstain.
I don't pray. Even at my uber religious grandparent's place before meals or funerals. If everyone is asked to bow their heads in prayer, I stand there silently and respectfully, but I won't pray and do not say Amen afterwards.

It's not necessary to put your napkin on your lap when eating chicken wings for the reason you described.
Why wouldn't with other foods or nicer dinners/weddings though? It doesn't hurt you to do it.
Because I wipe my mouth after every bite (pretty much) so it's inconvenient to have it on my lap. After the first couple of uses when I have sauce or whatever on it, I don't want that to transfer to my clothes.

What do you do with the napkin? My dad is the same as you, pretty much wipes after every bite. He tends to just hold the napkin in his monster bear claws.

Yeah I usually hold it in my left mitt. If I have a good run of not needing it I kind of fold it in half and just slide it under the side of the plate.

You should be shot right along anyone who does this "..." way too much... after every sentence........ sometimes using a ridiculous amount....................
I used to wear my wedding ring on my right hand. My wife had put in on my right hand ring-finger during our wedding ceremony for whatever reason and I kept it there stubbornly refusing to switch to a conventional left. People kept asking why, which was annoying, but I didn't care. Until one day our receptionist asked me this same question and then proceeded to tell a stupid story about her asking some lady this same question and not noticing that the lady was missing her left arm. That was the "last straw". I gave up and "switched" ring-fingers...
P.S. Just added a few quotation marks after reading MMF's post.
