Napkins...the good, the bad and the ugly

Napkinfoldcone Like it: When the restaurant offers you a white napkin or a black napkin depending on your outfit so you don't get little lint boogers.

Hate it: When the guy keeps putting your napkin on your lap for you even if you've just gotten up to go to the can. Also, when they reform the napkin into a swan or whatever during your bathroom break.

Like it: If there are gunky paper napkin balls on your table, it's nice when a server takes those away and brings you a new one for dessert.

Hate it: Those nylon-like colored hotel napkins that aren't absorbent.

Like it: Finger bowls and those warm towels at the beginning of some Asian restaurant meals (but what's the etiquette with those--can you wipe your whole face, or even the pate of your head if you're bald?)

Anyone else?
