Were You Raised By Wolves?

Texting Late at Night, Escaping Dinner Parties, Regifting Dreamcatchers, and More

Listen Later

Etiquette, manners, and beyond! In this episode, Nick and Leah answer listener questions about sending texts late at night, escaping long dinner parties, telling people their fly is down, receiving unusually large gifts, waiting for people to retrieve their finished laundry so you can use the machine, abandoning a friend without Global Entry, returning missed calls when there's no message, regifting dreamcatchers, and much more. Please follow us! (We'd send you a hand-written thank you note if we could.)
