I DON'T.
Recently, on a train, I stood near a mother and her son. I
think he was about 6 or 7, he was getting cranky, the train was crowded and
warm. I was getting cranky too. A woman,
seated, motioned to his mother that she’ll get up for the child. The boy sat
down, didn’t thank the woman, and the mother didn’t tell him to thank her. The
mother mumbled something. I wouldn’t have given him my seatYvonne&Yvettetiquettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00290959321904112899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558011555631278718.post-71026238513295371312019-03-09T07:21:00.000-05:002019-07-11T06:50:35.698-04:00A SILLY AGE-OLD QUESTION YOU NEED TO STOP ASKING By Yvonne
It’s been a
while since we’ve/I’ve blogged. It’s not that we whipped the world into
practicing good manners day in and day out. Au
contraire. People continue to hold their forks and knives in odd, contorted
ways as they “slaughter” their food.
Life happened, and we took a break.

Sitting on furniture with your shoes on is not cool - unless it's your own. I don't think she meant to show disrespect, I think she had no respect for the Oval Office, its guests and her boss.
Kellyanne Conway, too busy to mind her manners.

And we're off and running. The holiday season kicks off next week with Thanksgiving. Some of us will spend the most time we've ever spent all year round in our kitchens basting, chopping, stirring and hoping that it all turns out well. We thought we'd whip up some dos and don'ts for both hosts and guests.
For hosts...

There's a whole lot of hair flying around these days and it's not mine.
I never had much hair to flip and when I tried, I almost
suffered whiplash. There is nothing more annoying than someone’s hair
flying around in a public space, like on a bus. The woman in front of you is
totally oblivious of her dander (okay, dandruff, but she got my dander up) going all over the place Yvonne&Yvettetiquettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00290959321904112899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558011555631278718.post-59187801126147685542015-09-27T12:52:00.001-04:002015-09-28T06:49:21.525-04:00EVERYTHING YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW ON AN ELEVATOR BY YVONNE

We were on sabbatical and then the summer came along. Mind your manners until we come back in the fall, when we will attempt to mine them for you.
Quick Tips:
Remember to take your makeup off so you won't leave your mark on the pillowcase.
Even if you don't want to, offer to help.
Don't bring your cell phone to the table with you. (if your host is that boring, you shouldn't be there)
