Cultural practices can be a tricky thing for the uninitiated.
The most obvious trip-up situations off the top of my head would be:
* Westerners using chopsticks;
* Chinese people (can't speak for other Orientals) using Western cutlery;
* non-Muslims eating with their hands at a meal with Muslims (avoiding handling food with their left hand).
This series is from my own observations.
