Were You Raised By Wolves?

Criticizing Wedding Dresses, Spreading Rumors, Splitting Cupcakes, and More

Listen Later

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! In this bonus episode, Nick and Leah answer listener questions about criticizing someone's wedding dress, drying your hands without towels, dealing with nasty rumors, handling someone who always criticizes their own body, feeling obligated to make someone a bridesmaid, missing cutlery at a dinner party, handling in-laws who arrive hours early, taking just half a cupcake, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a handwritten thank-you note if we could.)
