Generators and Gaffes in Crisis | Spokane News

After a hurricane, running generators non-stop kept neighbors awake—raising the question: when is it okay to prioritize your needs over others? The episode explores how etiquette matters even in disasters, urging balance between survival and consideration. It also dives into awkward travel moments, like a friend signaling waiters and loudly declaring service was included—behavior that, while harmless at home, can embarrass Americans abroad. The advice? Either charm your way out of awkwardness, gently coach your friend, or physically shield waiters from their antics. Ultimately, kindness and awareness matter more than convenience, whether you’re recovering from a storm or dining in a foreign country.
