  1. I keep boosting funny posts and then realising that they were set to ‘quiet‐public’, and then begrudgingly un‐boosting them. Am I right in thinking that it's bad #etiquette to boost such a post or am I worrying over nothing?

  3. They say us Finns are too modest, downplay, don’t bring ourselves forward.

    Very well, I’ll give it a try now.

    Please be informed, that I do have a specialty: I am good for nothing.

  5. Hoping someone can help me with this weird thing…

    At a service or celebration of life, there might be a table where people can leave cards/condolences for the family. What would be a good way to word a simple sign so folks know where to drop off such things?

  8. I don't understand modern etiquette. Or perhaps I should say, maybe there isn't any etiquette. Maybe that's new etiquette - noniquette.

    Someone invited me to their wedding. I can't attend because of the distance and the cost. I really wanted to go and am gutted.

    Anyway, I RSVPd to their wedding site and then wrote a personal message to the bride and groom, wishing them the best and feeling sorry.

    Crickets.

    Does nobody reply anymore? What's normal?

  11. When I was a kid, one thing that parents universally did was force us kids to go through basic social politeness rituals with strangers. For example, if I was walking with mom and she saw a co-worker, she’d introduce me, then give me full instructions: “okay, dear, say ‘Hello Mr. Chan’. Now shake his hand. No, the other hand. Good.” And then the stranger would ask the kind of insane questions you ask kids you don’t know, and mom would prompt me to answer. Then the adults could get to talking while we wandered off.

    Nowadays I run into adults with kids all the time in my kid-friendly neighbourhood, but it has been decades since I’ve seen any parent instruct their kids this way. When I say hi to my neighbours I will always say hello to the kids as well to be polite, and the almost universal reaction is a deer-in-the-headlights look with a confused wary silence. (The teenagers are fine, they will grunt a greeting at me. I’m talking about the little ones.)

    I’m curious how/when this parenting shift occurred. Were you taught social niceties explicitly when you were a kid? Are you coaching your kids?

  15. So, question for y'all: are we back to shaking hands? I was so relieved when, early in the pandemic, we stopped doing that, and I had hoped it would not come back, but then yesterday FOUR people wanted to shake my hand on meeting me, and the other week, a doctor I saw also wanted to shake my hand. Is the handshake back? And more importantly, how do you (politely) get out of it when a hand is offered?
