And for the love of god please avoid blowing your nose at the table at all costs... as well as telling stories or topics of conversation related to bodily functions.

Etiquette pet peeve is when restaurants don't set you up for success by giving you bowls, plates, and utensil that cannot properly/stably be perched in their resting position. Also chopsticks should always be placed at rest on either a chopstick holder or with two points of contact on your bowl, never resting the ends on your food.

That's the big one. Funny enough, having knives at the table was considered uncivilized; the knives were used for food prep in the kitchen so that one only needed chopsticks at the table
