Back to Table Manners, Again!

From the restaurant ordering thread, I started thinking about something I have been seeing more and more. I was raised not to pick up my knife and fork until everyone at the table has been served, whether at home or in a restaurant.

It really bothers me to see people "dig in" as soon as their plate is put in front of them. We went to dinner last week with a group of people. The minute the one person's plate was down he was shoveling his food with his elbow and arm on the table. I was beside myself!

Do you think I am out of line in my thinking?
