It's not something I've particularly noticed and I'm not sure it would annoy me (might though, most things do
)
My main hate (and it isn't just a Turkey thing, it's evident more and more everywhere) is the appalling habit so-called waiters have of believing it is quite acceptable to reach across one diner's plate to serve or remove another. Surely professional waiting involves finding every possible way to avoid that?
I am weary of having a sweaty arm across my plate (and sometimes an armpit in my face.
Now that is surely far worse than yours, lagoon lover?
