If anyone is being ridiculous, it's you.

What I have described is something that is perfectly acceptable in an
Asian takeaway. It's what the Asians do themselves.

Asians also hold bowls of food close to their faces and shovel
mouthsful of noodles into their mouths with chopsticks. I suppose you
consider THAT as behaving like a slob as well.

Or are you simply another troll?
