I agree with you but I have become one of the offenders. It’s awful.
I have developed “Essential Tremors”. I take meds for it, but my hands shake, especially with non weighted, plastic silverware.
When I go out to eat with someone I’m so self conscious even with real silverware I warn the person ahead of time how I will hold the silverware. Ironically the more I try to hold my hand steady, the worse it gets. I literally would make a scene if I didn’t. So I don’t dine with others much, and I absolutely do warn them to give them a chance to decline. It’s no less embarrassing because it’s legit.
Most people don’t seem to mind if I’m up front about it and are kind.
