Ooof 🤫. Luckily I didn't stick my chopsticks in that sushi rice lol.

In all seriousness though, in my culture, sticking chopsticks vertical in a bowl of rice is bad a. It is incredibly taboo because it reminds our people of funerals, where a bowl of rice is left with two chopsticks standing vertically in the center.

That would go for most Asian cultures.
