Were You Raised By Wolves?

Second Helpings: Gaslighting Bosses, Addressing Postcards, Trashing Swag, and More

Listen Later

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! This week, Nick and Leah are enjoying a well-deserved break, but they'll be back soon 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 showing up for parties that aren't happening, addressing postcards to households, trashing promotional swag, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a hand-written thank you note if we had your address.)

  • What is the polite way to decline beverages?
  • What do we do about unwanted promotional merchandise we were given?
