When I’m at home enjoying my ramen peacefully I look like pic 1, but when I go to a restaurant I see a guy like pic 2? How does one eat ramen like that without having all the dangly bits hang out of their mouth like pic 3? (Ignore my rushed drawings they get the point across)

Im sorry but these drawings are hilarious
Hunch over, get your face down close to the bowl, and slurp away
You hunch over your bowl of ramen, slurping cools them down as you work on getting the dangly bits into your mouth hole but hunching over the bowl makes you look less ridiculous
I use my spoon as an assist because I’m not an adept slurper
The art style is awesome, reminds me of the old Flash series Madness Combat
Perfect real life simulation captured! I am envious of your skill with the pen 🤨
Ramen is one of those messy, but feel good foods that you’ll have to dive into and deal with whatever consequences.
I believe dressing appropriately is also useful (light clothing cause broth is hot, but dark colours in case you get any on you), also if you have long hair, secure it well. Lean over your bowl and bend down towards it while slurping so it is less likely to get any on yourself. Keep a tissue nearby and practice makes it perfect! Some places also have bibs so you won’t ruin your clothes.
Most importantly though, enjoy your ramen 🍜

Don’t make eye contact, and enjoy
Renge Spoon in left hand, chopsticks in right.
Grab noodles with chopstick and layer them on the spoon, break off some chashu, egg, and seaweed, and layer it on top of the noodles
Then dip the entire concoction into the broth while holding it together with the chopsticks on top of the spoon
Bring it to your mouth, but bring your mouth to the bowl, slurp aggressively, but not loudly.
Profit
I solve this by not caring how other people think I look while eating. If someone is that weird/petty they need to scrutinize how others eat, they’re not worth paying any mind to.
If you don’t want ramen just hanging out of your mouth, use the big spoons that usually come with the bowl. They help cradle the noodles and you can raise it to your mouth so they’re not just dangling there.
Remember how your mum told you not to slurp spaghetti, well that’s basically the correct way to eat ramen.
Only take 4-6 noodles on your chipstick, depending on their length and thickness. Bring them above the soup to straighten them. Lower them into your ramen spoon, letting them coil up like a snake. Bring the spoon closer to your mouth when you’ll put the noodles in your mouth. Start to slurp, taking in air along with the noodles. Use the chopsticks to lightly pincer the noodles close to the spoon to prevent any noodles flicking broth at you and making a mess.
When you watch Japanese eat ramen you’ll notice every movement has a purpose. If you do it this way its less finicky, less annoying, less messy, and more flavourful to eat.
Roll ramen in Fork and stuff in face. Put bowl up to mouth and drink ramen broth.
