Who else out there a messy eater? What do you do about it?

My fiancee constantly makes fun of me because it doesn’t seem I can get through a whole meal with spilling something on my shirt. Anyone else out there have the same problem? What have you done about it?

Answer #1

I am definitely a messy eater! I ususally end up wearing at least some tiny spot of whatever im eating… :) My advice is if you’re out at a restraunt try to eat slowly and concentrate on what you’re eating, especially if it’s something that will slip off your fork easily, like pasta…lol you have no idea how many white shirts I’ve wrecked with pasta sauce! Good Luck! :)

Answer #2

I’m quite expert at ruining anything white. Once I had an important meeting with clients. It was a nice summer day so I wore a white summer dress with a white jacket. I had been at the office 5 minutes and took a sip of coffee. Within seconds my whiteness was not just blemished, but almost eradicated. Another time I had white pants on and spilt a huge dollop of ketchup and mustard from a burger, right on the crotch area. Not a pretty sight and I had to cover it with my bag until I got home from the mall.

Now when I buy white clothes I just keep them in the closet and look at them wistfully.

So my advice is - dress accordingly. If you’re eating spaghetti sauce, wear orange… lol.

Answer #3

Yes!

When I’m at a restaurant, I will order the least messy item and things that are easy to cut (so I stay away from pasta, rice, things with too much sauce, and tough meats). At home, I usually change out of my nice clothes so it doesnt matter if I make a mess. But also, really, concentrating on the food tends to minimize the mess.

Answer #4

My mom is a messy eater. I’m going to buy her a bib for her birthday.
