QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:

  • Is it bonkers to not sit with your partner on an airplane and to not acknowledge each other for an entire flight?
  • Is a cocktail straw for sipping or stirring or both?
  • Is it rude to send RSVP reminders for a wedding before the RSVP deadline?
  • When dining outdoors at a restaurant and given utensils wrapped in a napkin, when should we put our napkins in our laps?
  • What does it mean when a party invitation says the dress code is "Dress Your Best"?
  • How long do you have to keep an anniversary card from your significant other?
