A turnoff: When yuppies and bobos (bourgeouis bohemians) are portrayed by Hollywood as ordering Chinese food and eating it with chopsticks right out of the little box off of a coffee table. I have never in my life seen this. Rather, every normal person I’ve ever seen order chinee food puts the little containers on the kitchen counter and everyone gets a plate and takes what he wants, buffet style. Everyone uses a plate. And no one ever uses chopsticks.
If you ate right out the box, how would people share? What, do you eat a whole box of panda fried rice on your own, with nothing else? And right out the box? With chopstix? Getting little rice thingies all over your den/carpet/coffee table? Please. This is even more annoying than the laugh track in sit-coms, or when characters in sitcoms enter someone’s house and leave the front door open.
