That's just the sound of our thighs smacking as we get up for seconds.

Damn!!!

LMAO.
Perfection.

OP, don't fall into your friend's clap trap.

 

[Messofanego]

Just imagining this is making me laugh so hard, holy shit.

The problem is that I'm imagining that each diner at the table stands, applauds and exclaims "Bravo!" as they finish their meal independently of the others.
I sort of want this to become a thing.

 

[Pochacco]

It's pretty common here in Canada. Usually only at family restaurants though. Not at fast food joints or fine dining restaurants; that would be weird.

 

[GrizzNKev]

I clap my butt cheeks together after every meal by forcing gases from my anus to pass between them.

 

[McLovin]

I knew a guy like that. He was really fat though. Im guessing he ate so much he pushed poop out.
edit - oooh clap.... I thought you meant crap. LoL WTF thats even weirder the crapping after every meal.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Is this an American thing? Someone told me they clap after eating at a restaurant. I don't know what to believe anymore.

No.

Burp and fart, yes. But clapping, no.

 

[Never Forever]

why does the idea of this have me laughing so hard

Nobody cares about Canada

Foreigners are so gullible.

I thought you were Irish.

I always sarcastically clap when leaving KFC because the only thing I enjoy there is the ceasar salad and corn on the cob

 

[riotous]

The near constant sound of gunfire can sometimes be mistaken for applause.

Ah yes, the Gastronomic wave.

 

[Schweinehund]

Dehumanizing claps maybe.

 

[GabDX]

Americans are crazy like that. They also clap after a movie at the theater.

 

[sixteen-bit]

fuck no

 

[justjustin]

Yes. If you do not express appreciation by enthusiastically striking your palms together like a seal, the meal in your stomach will deeply resent you and the next time you poop your toilet will clog.

 

[The One and Done™]

You got played like a harp from hell.

 

[Dany]

I thought you were Irish.

No, pure americano with mexicano heritage. Why irish? I hear polish a lot >_>

 

[FootballFan]

I usually go and applaud the chef and kitchen staff after a really great meal.

 

[Betta Lines]

I went to an amazing restaurant where it was a taster menu, there was only our table and one other, a really nice atmosphere, and they just kept bringing out course after course, with 'palette cleansers' in between (amazing sorbets and things). They were all pretty small dishes, so we didn't feel stuffed, just very satisfied and eager to see the next surprise. When it got to the desserts, the waiter came out and said 'the chef is feeling adventurous tonight... how many desserts can you handle?' They ended up bringing out three courses of desserts, again not too big, but all excellent. The chef came out to meet us at the end, he had done it all himself, no assistant chefs. A really nice chap, so enthusiastic about cooking. The room burst into applause. It's the only time I've ever clapped after a meal. A pretty unique evening, I can't imagine clapping in a conventional restaurant.

Don't Europeans play harps after a meal?

 

[Illusive_Juan]

You mean you don't?

edit: damn, beaten!

 

[Dany]

Has anyone ever called the chef to the table after a good meal?

 

[shadyspace]

No, pure americano with mexicano heritage. Why irish? I hear polish a lot >_>

I couldn't tell you. Probably cause of your avatar, come to think of it.

 

[Doffen]

How did this take 3 pages?

 

[Ingueferroque]

What the fuck.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So many people lying.

Yes. Yes we do. Every single meal. Sure, it's a bit stupid after eating a bowl of oatmeal by yourself, but it's more a habit than anything.

 

[Timeaisis]

I'm clapping for this thread.

Umm no?

 

[Zeliard]

Sunhi, holy fuck

 

[Persona7]

i've never witnessed people clapping after a meal and I eat a lot of restaurant meals.



I've only witnessed clapping during a birthday thing at a restaurant.

 

[Clydefrog]

i want to clap so hard but i'm afraid everyone will laugh at me

holy shit!!

 

[AstroLad]

Honestly think Americans clap way too much, especially for food. Nothing sadder than seeing an overweight family at a fast-food joint just clapping for way too long.

 

[Makai]

HehehehHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Sibersk Esto]

masterpiece

 

[studyguy]

My girlfriend legit clapped after watching a movie.

At home.

With only our dog there besides the two of us.

Just asked her who she was clapping for and she thought about it and said she didn't know.

 

[GulAtiCa]

hahaha, that is excellent.

 

[ThatGayWolf]

I don't after a meal but at work we clap every time someone not from our department walks in. And when they leave. And when they just walk by and we think they can hear us.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Welcome to Clapistan!

 

[Timeaisis]

We Americans clap at everything. Someone next to me just successfully blew their nose and a round of applause erupted in the office.

 

[Carcetti]

I've only ever seen this after a really emotional film. The kind of film where people feel they have to express their emotions somehow, so I guess clapping is somewhat of a natural way to do that.

I've only seen people clap in _one_ movie in my whole life. The movie was Fast 5. Not kidding.

edit: forgot the clapping at the end of the Lord of the Rings Movie premieres but I guess that was more of a fandom thing.
