The unexpected banana etiquette was funny, but this reaction was even funnier

Lucy Challenger, CEO of Polo and Tweed domestic staff training and recruitment company, uses TikTok to share etiquette and deportment tips. For instance –

Here she is, demonstrating how to walk down stairs in heels.

This is how to use a napkin.

Back in 2021, one piece of advice really caught the attention of TikTokers, and it’s one which Lucy captioned –

“Do you know the polite way to eat a banana?”

Watch and learn.

TikTok had some thoughts.

The very funny @shabazsays, who isn’t impressed by airs and graces, shared this hilarious reaction –

“Have several days off, man!”

It went down better than the concept of getting out the best silver for a banana.

At least we can all now feel a little more confident that we’d know what to do at a banana party in Buckingham Palace.
