Summary
On today’s show, we take your questions on how to be assertive without coming across as rude or aggressive, whether you need to make it clear you really wanted to stay when leaving a party early, and whether it’s ever too late to send a birthday, thank-you, or sympathy card. For Community Members, we have a question about how to set boundaries with someone who really wants to be your friend when you don’t feel the same way. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, an etiquette salute, and a postscript segment on Airline Etiquette. Emily Post Etiquette Substack Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
