On today’s show, we take your questions on how to respond gracefully when people constantly misgender you on the phone, whether it’s polite to add your dishes to a friend’s already overflowing sink, and a networking situation that went a little sideways. For community members, your bonus question is about managing language barriers with a new employee in an international workplace. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on outdoor entertaining.
