Grab a fanny gasket (toilet seat cover) for the dining chair before you sit down to eat and you are good to go.

Wait, isn't your sleeve for blowing your nose?

I'm hoping your choices of dining establishments exclude those in which the asses which might have sat there before you were bare. Clothed asses make the whole experience much more pleasant -- and less "eww!" -- for all involved.

Or so I'm told.... Wink

Nah, I think I'm better equipped to follow Trace Adkins lead and just tuck the damn thing in my collar. Smile

Is there a different napkin to wipe your hands if this one is only for your mouth?

I eat at very few places that have cloth napkins. With paper ones, if I must leave the table temporarily I use my ball-point pen to write on the napkin "Not Done" and leave it by my plate.

You should carry a permanent marker for the cloth ones.

My mother went to finishing school in the UK. Tthese lessons were forced on me at an early age. I really can't believe that there are grown men saying that they are skeeved out about placing a napkin on a chair. I wonder how many of you use soap and hot water for longer than 30 seconds after you fondle your Johnson in the bathroom. How many grab the door knob on the way out with that unwashed hand? Or, have zero issues with a pimple covered teenager assembling your fast food order after scratching his nuts and sucking on a JUUL behind the grease trap. What exactly is so disgusting on the outside of a persons pants, anyway? I dunno about y'all, but I don't make a habit of walking around with skid marks or other detritus on the outside of my britches.

I'm significantly more concerned about the cleanliness of that chair than I am about some 19th century rules about napkins.

HOPEFULLY, such a restaurant where niceties and etiquette is expected, doesn't have stained, soiled or marked furniture. If you're going to pay premium for a meal, the furniture better be dial'd in, along with everything else.
