I am here to ask a question that has been bugging me for several nanoseconds now. When setting the table for dinner, exactly where should the TV remote controls be situated, according to proper etiquette?
I have searched the web and have found nothing useful about this common table setting. It’s ironic that there is a plethora of information out there about how to set up the various spoons, knives, forks, plates and as many as three different glasses, but not a darned thing about where to put the remotes.
Think about it… which do you do more often? At dinner, do you really normally drink from three different glasses at the same time? Or is it more common to be using your TV remote control? For us, it’s a simple answer: one drink, two TV remotes.
We have one remote for the television itself, and another one to operate the DirecTV satellite stuff. So we have to figure out where both of these things rightfully belong so we won’t offend Emily Post if she shows up for tacos some night. Hopefully one of my wonderful readers will post a suggestion; otherwise, I’ll simply stick with the configuration in the photo.
