Ugh! -- However, I think it's a foreign thing. Several years ago we hosted a couple of relatives who came from Norway. I found it interesting that whether at home or in a restaurant, they would pull out that u-shaped flosser and, very naturally and comfortably, go to work. (Mind you, these were, in many respects, cultured not backwoods, uneducated people). Although I learned a lot about my deceased dad's culture, I never had the nerve to question this unappealing practice.
P.S.
One of them actually had a very nice "floss" case. It was leather and made specifically to carry their flossers. I don't know, of course, whether it is traditional in Norway or an aberration limited to these foreign relatives
