    Okay, so my best friend just got married, he and his wife are both big anime freaks, and decided to go with a Japanese style wedding (even the dress, food, etc). I found that for some reason, the majority of the mass could not use chopsticks. I always thought it was pretty easy. How many of you can/cannot use chopsticks?

    I can't, although I've never really tried/bothered to learn, I imagine if I was taught it I'd pick it up quickly, but it's never been something I needed to know really.

    I chose "I am good with Chopsticks" I am half and half still not properly good with them. Tried picking up a sausage with them it is hard. Chopped up bacon is alright with the sticks.

    I knew Teddi would be good with chopsticks (Teddi's Most used word) "Off too get my noodles"

    Welcome to the future. We are far more advanced and have a device that makes eating less complicated. It's called a fork. Chopsticks are obsolete

    Oh, so they regressed into a stupid device that makes eating take longer and wastes more time?

    Its a traditional device not meant for pure practicality and functionality like the said fork/spoon/knife/etc.

    Easy as shit to use.

    Chopsticks are very practical for cooking, I use them for that as well.

    It's easier to use than you think. I can eat faster with chopsticks than with a fork. Also it was invented by Confucius because he saw the knife and fork as too aggressive to be at a place where you eat.
