Do you know how to use chopsticks?!
I do! :]
Answers: and i'm not talking about the one for your hair, lol.
I do! :]
hey! I know how, not quite sure why....but I know for my son, we are trying to teach him. Every time we'd go to an Asian restaurant that uses chopsticks, we'd ask for 'kids chopsticks'..which are a pair of chopsticks bound with a rubber band and the paper that is used to wrap them stuffed between the two chopsticks up-top with the rubber band wrapped neatly around them. I suggest for you to start there, that is how many Asian families teach their children how to use chopsticks. They now have little plastic thingys that you can pop the chopsticks into, basically giving the same resistance of the rubber band contraption. Good luck, you will get it with patience and practice!
Lving in California and Arizona. We really never needed to learn.
but since living in Hawaii. I have learned.
but only with the square wooden ones.
Still can not use the plastic round ones. I have some, but use for stirring my Iced Tea.
yes
There's a reason forks were invented. They're more efficient and not as pretentious as pretending to be talented simply because you've mastered the "art" of using sticks to feed yourself.
i used to live in hawaii and i know how to use chopsticks but its really hard to explain .look it up on wikihow.
I enjoy using chopsticks, and sometimes find them easier to use than a fork - especially with salad. No pretentiousness here, just convenience.
Yes, I went on a first date to a sushi restaurant and my date taught me how to use them. I was really clumsy at first but I decided to buy my own set and now I use them just fine, except I'm still clumsy when it comes to noodles :)
ihih i do use chopsticks!!! they are so fun!! food tastes different: i mean...it's so cool!!!
i'm not really good at it...but...PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT! i'm still working on it ;]
Yes........ and using a rubber band to lock the chopsticks together is a good teaching method for children and adults....
Yes

Several years ago my husband worked with a mostly Asian group. We often went out to eat after the store closed and we learned chopsticks.
We always use chopsticks in Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants or when getting take out/delivery.
At one point, I could pick up a dime that was flat on the table. I haven't tried in years so I don't know if I could still do that.
There are representative chopsticks. (a) is a type for home use, (b) and (c) are called harf-split chopsticks by a dispotable type used at restaurants. We call it "waribashi" in Japanese. (c) is a cheap(economy) type.
Waribashi( half-split chopsticks) are used like a photograph above.
Two chopsticks pull up together and insert a middle
fingertip between chopasticks and hold.
PRACTICE OF HOW TO HOLD AND USE
It's an exercise of how to use it from next.
One chopstick hold like an upper photo.
This is a bad exmple.
Another one hold like to hold a pencil.
But there is a difference, we hold a thumb strait,
don't bend like to hold a pencil.
When I open chopsticks, I use the middle forefinger.
When I close it, I use a forefinger.
A thumb is used to hold a chopstick, and it almost not move.
When I catch a heavy thing, power is added to upper three points.
It's the feeling that is used to control it by a forefinger.
Put up chopsticks on a desk and do it opening and closing is effective, I think.

OR the seven easy steps:
Once you have selected your chopsticks
1. Place one chopstick in the crook of your thumb and index finger. The chopstick should be at the base of your thumb and your thumb should be about 1/3 the way down from the broad end of the chopstick.
2. Rest the chopstick on your ring finger between ? way and 2/3 the way down the chopstick. The first chopstick should now be very stable with one end securely between your thumb and index finger and the other end resting on your ring finger.
3. Place the second chopstick in your hand the way you would hold a pen. It should rest slightly on the tip of your thumb and be held into place with support from your middle finger.
4. Use your index and middle fingers to practice moving the tip of the top chopstick up and down. The bottom chopstick should remain relatively still. As you move the top one down the tip should meet up with the tip of the bottom one.
5. Imagine you are pinching something. If the tips aren't meeting up, adjust one chopstick so they do because it will be very difficult to pick anything up if the two chopsticks aren't evenly aligned.
6. Attempt to pick up some food! Start with large chunks of food like chopped up vegetables or meat. Once you get the hang of that you can try the trickier foods like rice and grains.
7. Practice Practice Practice!
no, but it would be cool :)
go to nearest restaurant and watch anybody using it
Yes, my parents said I have been using them since I was two years old and we use them to eat every single night. :)
Yes. Had a crash course at a Japanese restaurant several years ago.
My favorite restaurants in Chinatown don't offer any utensils other than chopsticks and soup spoons, so I've perfected my skills since then.
Yes, and now I use them with all my meals, even cereal, which I know is weird but you get more chocolate milk with your cocoa puffs that way.
Yes I do - my parents are Chinese and despite me being brought up in Europe, I CAN use chopsticks.
Not sure about the ones for your hair though....
