About this episode

The episode discusses etiquette questions related to following up on cards, handling phone call endings, and managing bed-sheets after staying at a friend's home.

On today’s show, we take your questions on how to follow up on a card you’ve sent without sounding like you’re fishing for thanks, how to respond when someone ends a call with ‘I’ll let you go’, and how to handle bed-sheets after staying in a friend’s holiday home. For community members, your question of the week is about how to respond when friends say ‘you’re always welcome’ in their homes. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on expressions of grief in the digital world. More Awesome Etiquette - emilypost.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
