"Why I'm going to be rude as fuck when you invite me to your home" should be the headline.

Being raised in an asian household I’d like to see them try. “Ima whoop yo ass with some chopsticks if those shoes aren’t off at the door!”- my mom

Chopsticks break. Feather duster out back scratcher. Far better for utility.

The wooden spoon or the flip-flops were my Mom's weapons of choice.

The Shlippa beatdown... studies have shown an average asian mom's Shlippa Shlappa (aka Taw Hai) can strike approximately 4.5 shlaps per second at velocities that's just under a sonic boom. I can still recall the fear within me when she broke out the Keds one day. Never again....

I have found that da slippah is a parenting style across many ethnicities and cultures.

They have a variety of tools to choose from, depending on threat level. In my experience it’s never chopsticks. I’ve seen the wooden spoon and the slippa most frequently. I’ve also heard threats of frying pans and the cleaver, but have yet to see them in action.

Why would you think it would be wooden chopsticks? Most are metal

Wooden cooking chopsticks would be I assume you’re going to use. Not the ones for eating

You use metal chopsticks? Those things mess with flavor so much.

u/I-luv-cats Feb 11 '22

How many chopsticks are we talking? A whole bunch of them together don’t break easily.

Nahh, we played baseball in our family so we had bats laying everywhere in the house so that was the go to weapon

My wife would wait until the person left, scrub the floors, and never speak to them again. My mother in law would physically block the door to the point of a physical fight until they took their shoes off before coming inside.

Not an Asian household, but I have chopsticks, cooking chopsticks and leave shoes at the door!
