    Yes. It’s part of a normal place setting.

    I’m not even using plates. I mostly cook one meal at a time and eat straight from the pot. I’m almost 30.

      I use a plate. But just the one plate. I had friends over a while back and had to wash my other plates before serving. They were covered with dust.

    I’m 40 and I have them on my dinner table, but usually eat on the couch. I am the placemat I guess. 🤷‍♀️

    A pizza box is its own plate.

    Yes. We have a glass tabletop, so without placemats everything is loud and could scratch the table. Upside of the glass tabletop, aside from the look, is cleaning it is super easy with glass cleaner (not Windex).

    Yep we use placemats in our house. It was the first chore we ever gave to my daughter - to gather up the placemats after dinner and put them away in the drawer. I’m 37 by the way.

    Desktop game map. Covers my keyboard and mouse area. Also acts as a food mat.

    Versatile! Old enough to know better

    I don’t even at at a table most of the time… I’m 38 and eat most meals in my bed.

        I’m trying to remember what it was from where a dude is eating cookies in bed, gets some crumbs on the sheet, then just pulls out a mini vacuum cleaner from his night stand and cleans it up.

        That’s basically me.
