Episode 613 - A Stranger's Speakerphone

from Awesome Etiquette · host The Emily Post Institute

On today’s show, we take your questions on whether you can ask the person in the airplane window seat to open or close the shade, how to handle feeling hurt after being left off a baby shower guest list, and whether it’s okay to jump into a stranger’s speakerphone conversation when safety is involved. For Community Members, we’ve got a question about responding to offers of help during a family health crisis. Plus your weekly challenge, an etiquette salute to a Navy officer who helped demystify military protocol, and a feedback-filled postscript segment.
