About this episode
The episode discusses public etiquette, including how to respond after a fall and handling social situations involving forgotten names.
On today’s show, we take your questions on what to say when you take a tumble in public and strangers rush in to help, whether there was ever such a thing as formal birth announcements in classic etiquette, and how to gracefully handle a situation when you’ve forgotten a fellow parent’s name. For community members, your question of the week is about what to do when you feel like you’re underpaying someone for a service… whether it’s polite to push them to charge more. Plus your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where Lizzie talks to Stewart Chiron, aka The Cruise Guy, about cruise etiquette.
