i know no one wants to defend so ill be devils advocate.. sometimes i am eating and someone asks me something and it is an awkward wait.. although gemara taainis says it is dangerous since food might go down the food pipe
@LevAryehBoy – Flip-flops with socks…. Oh gosh. I’ve seen people who think it’s cool to wear flip flops, but their schools require them to wear socks or stockings, so they cut out the strap between the toes and … let’s just say we now know why they’re called flip-flops. First you try to walk in them. Then you flip in the air. Then you flop on the ground.
OH… what about people that ask you a question IMMEDIATELY after you’ve put a nice chunk of food in your mouth? They are just as bad, at least in my opinion.
and tell me please at what point in dental school do they give the course on how to stuff your hands in a patient’s mouth at the precise moment you as them a question? it seems like every dentist aced that subject.
Besides being unmannerly, it can be lethal to do so. To this day, I ALWAYS remind my family (especially the grandkids) not to talk when there is any food in their mouths.
