    I could pick someone's eye out with them, if necessary. I am a chopsticks champion

    I'm good enough to not embarrass myself when we're out, but no so good that I'd say I'm GOOD at it. I'm medium.

    Yes. Also, you can practice at work with 2 pens, FYI.

    I'm great at Japanese and Korean chopsticks but the Chinese are a little unwieldy.

    No clue on how to use them. I'd love to learn though.

    No they don't. I would have found it by now.

    Well since you edited your original post, I'm sure there's plenty. I'm more of a hands on learner.

    why would I use fancy, highfalutin chopsticks when I have hands?

    I'm awful with chopsticks, but I like to try for fun! I also have no shame asking for a fork so I don't end up wearing my food.

    You're Canadian, I'm sure that the maple syrup falls right through the chopsticks, huh?

    Eating poutine with chopsticks would actually work pretty well, though.

    I would hope so since I lived in Japan for three years. New how to use them proficiently before that point, though. Currently trying to teach our son how to use them.

    I practiced with 2 pencils when I was bored in elementary school which is when I learned.

    Excellent way to learn. I had a few pairs when I was a teenager which is how I learned. While now I think it's pretty normal for young kids and teens (and most adults) here in the states to know how to use them, it was seen as weird and "unique" back when I was 14-18.

    Kinda glad it's become more mainstream. The problem with teaching our son is that he's only six and regular sized chopsticks are unwieldy for him. He does much better with the "short" sticks made for young kids (brought a bunch of those back from Japan).

    Not really good. I could probably get enough food to my mouth with chopsticks not to die if I had to.
