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 mistaking customers for store employees, forgetting you've been introduced before, washing dishes before returning them, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a handwritten thank-you note if we could.)

QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:

  • What do I do about strangers in stores mistakenly thinking I'm an employee and asking for help?

  • What's the best way to follow-up with non-responders to an electronic dinner party invitation?
  • Do I have to accommodate a vegan guest who is not always vegan?
  • How do I deal with someone who always forgets we've been introduced before?
