Etiquette Expert Answers Etiquette Questions From Twitter

First, this guy. Imagine the anxieties he suffers on a daily basis just existing in this naff society we’re living in—can he block it all out? Second, unless you're dining with the royal family, mixing your cup of tea the wrong way—and we’re going out on a limb here—might not ruffle feathers like it once did. Admittedly, our etiquette expert does have a better way to eat peas than the scoop-em-with-a-fork method, which, outside of, ahem, looking completely vulgar, just isn’t all that effective to begin with.
