There is actually another one, I am not sure the proper term for it. Here, locally in Canada, there are a lot of Chinese operated Japanese restaurant, and naturally they attract Chinese customer more due to the language preferences. A lot of Chinese start out by splitting the chopstick and rubbing the 2 to "remove splinters".

My uncle (Japanese) told me this is a very very rude thing to do, and Japanese people just doesn't do that. But however, somewhere somehow, this was pass on to the Canadian Chinese as a Japanese cuisine etiqutte, and everyone does that thinking that they are more "Japanese" since its the "etiqutte".
