Dear LFTP: the teeth-brushing restaurant letter

• Is brushing your teeth at a restaurant table a sign that society is collapsing?

Mike reads a Dear LFTP letter from a woman flabbergasted to watch a stranger vigorously brush her teeth with a full-size toothbrush at a high-end restaurant table — then adjust her retainer — asking 'what is happening to our society?' The hosts deem it a unique person, not a societal collapse, and note the real story is her disappointment that nobody else was outraged. Dan deadpans about doing his toenails at the Embassy Club. The Secular answer is read and the hosts agree there's a line somewhere between etiquette and outrage.
