Listen Later

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! This week, Nick and Leah are enjoying a well-deserved break, but they'll be back next week with an all-new episode. In the meantime, here's one of their favorite episodes from the archives in which they answer listener questions about feeling obligated to babysit for a neighbor, serving sliced lemons at a buffet, fixing friends' social media typos, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a hand-written thank you note if we could.)

  • At a buffet lunch, should sliced lemons for water be served with a spoon or a fork?
  • Should I say something to a family member who isn't washing their hands after using the bathroom?
  • Is it OK to cash a check before sending a thank you note?
  • Should I say something to a friend who has typos in her online advertisements?
